Take command on the water with the Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot—engineered for boats with small gasoline outboard motors up to 20 horsepower. It maintains your heading and follows your route, keeping you on course even in wind, waves, or strong currents so you can focus on the day’s catch or the next destination.
Floating handheld remote provides a bright, sunlight-visible display for easy, on-the-fly control. Fine-tune autopilot throttle settings with a simple button press, and quickly drop to idle speed when netting fish or mooring up.
Why it shines on your kicker setup
-
Heading hold and route guidance to keep you on course even in challenging conditions.
-
Instant throttle adjustments at your fingertips for precise control and quicker response during docking or feeding lines.
-
Easy integration with compatible Garmin chartplotters or NMEA 2000 network GPS systems for a seamless onboard setup (without requiring the GHC20 display).
- Designed specifically for small outboards, delivering reliable autopilot performance where it counts—salmon, trout, walleye, or everyday cruising.
- Remote uses 2 x AA batteries (sold separately) for dependable, portable operation.
