Garmin Compact Reactor 40 Autopilot Starter Kit

Garmin's Compact Reactor 40 Autopilot Starter Kit is a hydraulic autopilot designed for single‑engine outboard boats under 30 feet, delivering smoother steering, less fatigue, and precise course keeping even in chop and wind.

• Starter Kit contents: Includes Compact Reactor 40 CCU, ECU, pump, and all essential autopilot components needed to add auto‑steering to a compatible Garmin chartplotter.
• Hydraulic autopilot for small boats: Optimized for single‑engine outboard vessels under 30 feet to provide stable steering assistance and reduced rudder movement.
• Solid‑state 9‑axis AHRS: Delivers stable heading, minimizes course deviation, reduces rudder movement, and lowers power consumption for a smoother ride.
• Garmin integration: Control the autopilot from a compatible chartplotter display and from up to 3 GHC helm control units for flexible operation.
• Shadow Drive (corepack option): Automatically disengages when you turn the wheel and quickly re‑engages to hold a steady course, offering backup control when desired.
• Auto Guidance: Ability to automatically steer GPS routes for trolling or searching (requires LakeVü HD Ultra or BlueChart g2 Vision HD charts).
• Reactive sea handling: Responds to sea state to maintain course as the boat pitches and rolls, delivering a steadier ride.
• Installation and mounting: Minimal commissioning and calibration with flexible mounting options tailored for boats under 30 feet.
• NMEA output: NMEA 2000 networking compatibility for seamless data exchange with other marine electronics.
• Electricals and operating range: Supply voltage 10V to 20V; operating temperature range from -15°C to 70°C (5°F to 158°F).
• Dimensions: Unit 4.3" W × 4.4" H × 1.9" D (10.9 × 11.2 × 4.8 cm); Pump 6.6" L × 3.9" W × 3.3" H (16.8 × 10.0 × 8.5 cm).
