Garmin Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot without Display

Garmin Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot without Display

Reactor 40 Hydraulic is the core autopilot package for vessels with hydraulic steering — inboard, outboard, sterndrive, or sailboats — delivered without the GHC display. It offers flexible installation thanks to the 9-axis solid-state AHRS and requires minimal commissioning. Control is done through compatible Garmin chartplotters and the vessel’s network, keeping the cockpit clutter-free and the onboard interface unified.

The patented Shadow Drive technology maintains control: when the helm is manually turned, the autopilot temporarily disengages and automatically reactivates once the course stabilizes. NMEA 2000 integration allows connection with autopilot, sensors, and instruments, while control algorithms reduce course errors, drift, and consumption for comfortable and efficient navigation.
