Reactor 40 for steer-by-wire provides robust autopilot capabilities for
SeaStar Optimus systems, Yanmar Marine ZT 370 stern drive electronic power
steering systems and ZF 2800 Pod drives.
With a complete package designed for powerboats and sailboats, Garmin brings
an advanced marine technology to the boating public that was once only
available for commercial boats. The Reactor 40 autopilot series is simply the
most responsive autopilot system we have ever offered.
Reactor 40 autopilots are very versatile. Both powerboat and sailing features
are available in all corepacks, including heading hold, wind hold, tack/jibe,
step turns and more; simply pick the autopilot that’s compatible with your
existing steering system.
Solid-state 9-axis AHRS
With its advanced solid-state 9-axis AHRS, you can mount Reactor 40 nearly
anywhere, in any orientation. In addition, this new system greatly minimizes
heading error, course deviation, rudder movement and power consumption while
providing a comfortable ride for all on board.
Reacts to Sea Conditions
This amazing autopilot actually reacts to the sea to hold your course. Even
when the boat is pitching and rolling, you can remain confident that the
Reactor 40 autopilot will keep you on your desired course.
Minimal Commissioning and Calibration
All autopilots require commissioning and calibration — all of them. We know
you just want to get on the water, so we made this process as fast and easy as
possible. That’s the power of simple.
Full Integration with Garmin Chartplotters
Combined with our compatible networked chartplotter, you can have full control
of Reactor 40 from wherever you are on the boat. In addition to holding its
course in virtually all weather and wind conditions, the system can smoothly
perform a variety of preprogrammed trolling and search procedures. Plus, with
a compatible Garmin networked chartplotter and BlueChart® g2 Vision® charts
(sold separately), you gain optional features such as Auto Guidance¹, which
automatically steers GPS paths.
Connect to Networked Devices
The Reactor 40 autopilot is operated using up to 3 GHC™ helm control units.
GHC communicates with the autopilot system via your NMEA 2000® network, so
autopilot heading data can be shared easily with other devices. This enables
MARPA and chart overlay when connected to a Garmin chartplotter. An optional
handheld wireless remote control is also available; however, for the highest
level of convenience, control GHC using a compatible quatix® 3 or
quatix
5 marine multisport smartwatch.
¹Auto Guidance is for planning purposes only and does not replace safe
navigation operations.
