Compact Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot Starter Pack

The Garmin Reactor™ 40 Compact Hydraulic Autopilot is built for boats under 25 feet. It steers for you, so you can focus on fishing or cruising instead of constantly adjusting the wheel.

It reacts automatically to waves, wind and motion to hold your heading, even when the boat is pitching or rolling. Garmin's solid-state 9-axis AHRS adapts to sea conditions and reduces heading error.

Key Features

• Hands-free steering for boats under 25 feet
• Flexible mounting options, so it can be installed almost anywhere on board
• Quick calibration for easy setup, even on smaller boats
• Control it from a compatible Garmin chartplotter or the optional GHC™ 50 autopilot display
• Shadow Drive™ (with the appropriate setup): turn the wheel to take control instantly, and it re-engages when you're ready
• Optional remote control using Garmin marine smartwatches, Reactor autopilot remotes, or wirelessly with select chartplotters
• Heading hold and step turns, plus wind hold and tack/jibe features when paired with a wind sensor (sold separately)
• Supports Auto Guidance+™ route planning with Garmin Navionics+™ mapping, to help plan paths around shallow areas and hazards

Built for powerboats, with select sailing features. For full helm integration, add the optional GHC™ 50 touchscreen autopilot instrument. It gives you dedicated autopilot controls and shares data with your other Garmin devices.

From coastal cruising around Vancouver Island to sport fishing and weekend trips, the Reactor 40 keeps steering smooth and easy. You get to enjoy your time on the water.
