Garmin Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot With GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument

Designed for powerboats, this Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot gives you the extra hand you need, so you can explore paradise worry-free. The Reactor 40 autopilot series is simply the most responsive autopilot system they have ever offered.

The Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot combined with the GHC 50 autopilot instrument adds a dedicated touchscreen autopilot display to your helm. Plus, GHC 50 allows you to share data and settings with Garmin MFDs and other installed Garmin devices.

COREPACK COMPATIBILITY

This corepack is an ideal autopilot solution for all types of hydraulically steered powerboats — inboards, outboards, stern drives and diesels — or hydraulically steered sailboats.

SOLID-STATE 9-AXIS AHRS

With its advanced solid-state 9-axis AHRS, you can mount Reactor 40 nearly anywhere, in any orientation. It even reduces power consumption, minimises heading error and more.

REACTS TO WATER CONDITIONS

Hold your course on the sea — this autopilot reacts to conditions, so you can remain confident even when you’re pitching or rolling.

SIMPLE CALIBRATION

All autopilots require commissioning and calibration. Reactor 40 makes it quick and easy.

WIRELESS REMOTE CAPABILITIES

Control your autopilot from anywhere on your boat by using your compatible Garmin devices, including the Reactor autopilot remote, select quatix® marine smartwatches and more (requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter or GHC 50 autopilot instrument).

SHADOW DRIVE™ TECHNOLOGY

Gain more freedom when manoeuvring your boat. This corepack allows for optional Shadow Drive technology to automatically disengage the autopilot when you turn the wheel.

POWERBOAT AND SAILING FEATURES

When connected to your compatible Garmin chartplotter, all Reactor 40 corepacks offer powerboat and sailing features, including heading hold and step turns — plus wind hold and tack/jibe when paired with a wind sensor (sold separately). You can even gain additional benefits such as the follow route and Auto Guidance+™ features
