Garmin Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot With GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument (010-02794-00)
Every Captain Needs a Co-Pilot
When you’re ready to set sail or head out on your powerboat, the Garmin Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot is your trusted co-pilot, giving you the extra hand you need to explore worry-free. Designed for hydraulically steered systems, it simplifies navigation, leaving you to focus on the adventure.
Key Features
-
Compatibility with Hydraulic Systems
This corepack is the ideal autopilot solution for hydraulically steered powerboats, including inboards, outboards, stern drives, and diesels, as well as hydraulically steered sailboats. It requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter or GHC 50 autopilot instrument to work seamlessly with your setup. -
Solid-State 9-Axis AHRS
The Reactor 40 includes an advanced solid-state 9-axis AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System), which allows it to be mounted almost anywhere on your boat, in any orientation. This system minimizes heading error, reduces power consumption, and reacts swiftly to water conditions, helping to keep your boat on course. -
Reacting to Water Conditions
Whether you’re pitching or rolling, the Reactor 40 stays on top of changing sea conditions, adjusting to them and keeping your boat stable and heading in the right direction. You’ll have confidence on any body of water, even in challenging conditions. -
Simple Calibration
Reactor 40 simplifies the commissioning and calibration process, making it quick and easy to set up. The goal is to get you out on the water without hassle. -
Wireless Remote Control
Enjoy the convenience of wireless remote capabilities, allowing you to control the autopilot from anywhere on your boat. This can be done using compatible Garmin devices, including the Reactor autopilot remote, select quatix® marine smartwatches, and more. A compatible Garmin chartplotter or GHC 50 autopilot instrument is required. -
Shadow Drive™ Technology
Shadow Drive™ allows you to maneuver freely. It automatically disengages the autopilot when you turn the wheel, giving you full control of the helm, whether you’re navigating tight spots or making quick maneuvers. -
GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument (Optional Bundle)
Pair the Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot with the GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument to add a dedicated, touchscreen autopilot display to your helm. The GHC 50 integrates smoothly with your Garmin MFDs and allows you to share data and settings with other Garmin devices on board. -
Powerboat and Sailing Features
With the Reactor 40, you can enjoy powerboat and sailing features such as heading hold and step turns, along with wind hold and tack/jibe (when paired with a wind sensor). You’ll also gain access to advanced features like Follow Route and Auto Guidance+™ when connected to your compatible Garmin chartplotter.
The Garmin Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot provides everything you need to enjoy a worry-free boating experience, whether you're cruising on a powerboat or sailing. With advanced AHRS technology, simple calibration, wireless remote options, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with your Garmin chartplotter and other devices, it enhances your navigation experience.
