COREPACK COMPATIBILITY

This corepack works with vessels that have Volvo Penta inboard performance systems and sterndrive joystick systems.

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, minimizes 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).

OPTIONAL GHC 50 BUNDLE

Combine the Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot with the GHC 50 autopilot instrument to add 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.
