Overview
Garmin Reactor 40 Mechanical/Retrofit/Solenoid Corepack With GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument (010-02794-02)
Every Captain Needs a Co-Pilot
The Garmin Reactor 40 Mechanical/Retrofit/Solenoid Corepack offers the extra hand you need to confidently explore paradise, whether you’re on a powerboat or sailboat. Designed to work with a wide variety of steering systems, this autopilot system ensures smooth and effortless navigation, giving you more time to enjoy the water.
Key Features:
-
Compatible with Various Steering Systems:
This corepack is compatible with direct or cable-actuated steering systems, allowing it to support essential autopilot features such as heading hold, wind hold, step turns, and tack/jibe modes. -
Solid-State 9-Axis AHRS:
Featuring an advanced solid-state 9-axis AHRS, the Reactor 40 offers unparalleled flexibility in mounting placement. It can be mounted nearly anywhere, even in orientations previously challenging for other autopilots. It also helps to reduce power consumption and minimizes heading errors, improving overall performance. -
Reacts to Water Conditions:
The Reactor 40 automatically adapts to the changing sea conditions, ensuring your boat stays on course even when you’re pitching or rolling. This level of responsiveness provides greater confidence in any water conditions. -
Simple Calibration:
Calibration is quick and easy, so you can focus more on your time on the water and less on complicated setup processes. -
Shadow Drive™ Technology:
Shadow Drive™ technology provides more freedom when maneuvering your boat. For hydraulic installations, this corepack allows the autopilot to automatically disengage when you turn the wheel, enabling you to maintain complete control during sharp turns. -
Class A, Class B Compact, or Class B Drive Units:
Choose between class A, class B compact, or class B drive units to suit your steering system (sold separately). All Garmin linear drives feature built-in rudder feedback sensing, ensuring precision and better performance. -
Wireless Remote Control:
Enjoy the convenience of wireless control from anywhere on your boat using compatible Garmin devices. This includes the Reactor autopilot remote, select quatix® marine smartwatches, and other Garmin devices (requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter or the GHC 50 autopilot instrument).
Optional GHC 50 Bundle:
- GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument provides a dedicated touchscreen display, enhancing your autopilot experience with intuitive navigation and the ability to control autopilot features directly from the helm.
- Integrated System: The GHC 50 allows you to share data and settings between your autopilot and Garmin MFDs or other compatible Garmin devices.
Optional GRF™ 10 Rudder Feedback Sensor:
- For enhanced autopilot performance, consider adding the GRF™ 10 rudder feedback sensor. This optional sensor further improves system performance and provides peace of mind, especially when using the GHC 50 autopilot instrument or a compatible Garmin chartplotter.
Powerboat and Sailing Features:
- When connected to a compatible Garmin chartplotter or GHC 50 autopilot instrument, the Reactor 40 provides both powerboat and sailing features.
- Features include heading hold, step turns, wind hold, and tack/jibe (when paired with a wind sensor).
- Additional benefits include Follow Route and Auto Guidance+™, helping you navigate with even greater ease.
This Reactor 40 Mechanical/Retrofit/Solenoid Corepack paired with the GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument ensures a powerful and versatile autopilot system that helps you stay on course, no matter the conditions or the steering system of your boat.
