Our most responsive autopilot system on the water
- 9-axis solid-state AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System)
- Minimizes directional errors, course deviations, rudder movements and power consumption and at the same time provides a pleasant sailing experience
- Minimal commissioning and calibration
Add our Reactor 40 cable-controlled technology to vessels with Volvo Penta Inboard High Performance Systems (IPS) and stern drive joystick systems. With a complete package designed 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.
Reactor 40 autopilots are very versatile. Features for powerboats and sailboats are available in all corepacks, including course hold, wind hold, turn/boom, step turns and more. Simply select the autopilot that is compatible with your existing steering system.
9-axis solid-state AHRS
With the advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS, you can mount the Reactor 40 virtually anywhere and in any direction. 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.
Responds to sea 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 startup adjustment and calibration
All autopilots require start-up adjustment and calibration – without exception. We know you want to just get out on the water, so we made this process as quick and easy as possible. The Power of Simple.
Full integration with Garmin plotters
When combined with a compatible Garmin network plotter, the Reactor 40 gives you full control over everything 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 BlueChart g3 Vision chart (sold separately as an option), you get the industry's best coverage, overview and detail with up-to-date maps of coastal areas that include integrated Garmin and Navionics ® content.
