Description
Our most responsive autopilot system on the water
- 9-axis solid-state AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) that can be mounted in any direction
- Minimizes direction errors, course deviations, rudder movements and power consumption and provides a more comfortable sailing
- Minimal commissioning and calibration
- A compact brushless SmartPump v2 that fits most hydraulically controlled functions on boats
- With the patented Shadow Drive ™ technology, you maintain control even when the autopilot is activated
- Requires a compatible Garmin plotter
With a complete package developed for powerboats and sailboats, Garmin makes advanced marine technology available to recreational boaters that was previously only available to commercial boats. The Reactor 40 autopilot series is simply the most responsive autopilot system we've ever offered. Experience the performance of the ultimate hydraulic autopilot when paired with the highly reliable brushless SmartPump v2 to fit most boats. 1
9-axis solid-state AHRS
With the advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS, you can mount the Reactor 40 virtually anywhere and in any orientation. In addition, this new system significantly reduces directional errors, course deviations, rudder movement and power consumption, providing a comfortable sailing experience for everyone on board.
Reacts to the given conditions
This amazing autopilot actually reacts to the sea conditions, so you stay on course. Even when the boat pitches and rolls, you can trust the Reactor 40 autopilot to keep you on the desired course.
Minimal commissioning and calibration
All autopilots require start-up adjustment and calibration – without exception. We know you just want to get out on the water, so we've made the process as quick and easy as possible. This is "The Power of Simple".
Full integration with Garmin plotters
You have full control over the Reactor 40 from the plotter's display. And with a compatible Garmin network plotter and BlueChart ® g2 Vision ® chart, you can enjoy features such as Auto guidance, 2 which automatically guides GPS routes.
A SmartPump v2 is the easy solution
The Reactor 40 autopilot with SmartPump v2 solves all the problems of guessing what size pump to use in a certain type of boat. A SmartPump v2 works for most boats. You achieve optimal control and confidence in the knowledge that you have the right pump for your boat. In addition, you gain full control with a smaller size with better thermal performance, greater reliability and lower power consumption. It also comes with color coded connectors making it very easy to install. Quite clever.
Limit the maximum throughput rate
Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 automatically sets the maximum flow rate for a specific boat from 0 to 2.4 l per minute. It also uses a brushless motor, which provides increased reliability, longer pump life, lower power consumption, quiet operation, smaller size, increased thermal performance and greater efficiency.
Eliminate the risk of rudder "in tables"
Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 is a complete autopilot solution. The SmartPump v2 is a single, integrated unit consisting of a motor driven circuit with pump in a single unit. It is equipped with Intelligent Rudder Rate Technology (IRRT) which lowers the rudder stroke when the vessel is steered at high speed and increases the rudder stroke when the vessel is steered at low speed to provide optimum performance and safety in all conditions. The brushless motor unit eliminates the risk of the steering wheel "breaking" due to hardware or software errors.
Enjoy a longer life system
Boating environments are harsh, especially in salt water. That's why our SmartPump v2 is protected from the elements. SmartPump v2 is manufactured from corrosion-resistant components, i.a. anodized aluminum parts and nickel-plated steel parts.
Experience advanced autopilot technology
When you have a Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 on board your boat, you can maintain control no matter where you are on the boat. In addition to staying on course in virtually all weather conditions, the system can easily perform a variety of pre-programmed trolling and searching procedures. And with a compatible Garmin network plotter and chart from BlueChart g2 Vision (sold separately), you can get features such as Auto Guidance, 2 that automatically guides GPS routes.
Stay in control with Shadow Drive technology
Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 contains patented Shadow Drive technology. You gain peace of mind knowing that you are always in control, even when the autopilot is activated. The Shadow Drive system automatically deactivates the autopilot if the rudder is turned, giving you the freedom to maneuver the boat. The autopilot automatically switches on again when you maintain a fixed course.
Get even more peace of mind
Add an optional GRF ™ 10 rudder feedback sensor and get even better performance out of your Reactor 40 autopilot with SmartPump v2.
