KICKER ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
The Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot is currently compatible with the following
engines.
NOTE: The outboard motors listed below are compatible only
if:
- The outboard has a tiller handle. Outboards without a
tiller handle may work with custom installation not supported by Garmin
- The outboard has a tilt tube. Outboards without a
standard tilt tube are not compatible. Aftermarket “bolt on” tilt tubes are
not supported (incorrectly positions steering actuator)

1 Garmin requires replacement of the mild steel tilt tubes
supplied by Yamaha and Honda with our stainless steel tilt tube. This can be
ordered as a kit or as an accessory of R40 Kicker (see accessories on
Garmin.com). Mild steel tubes from Yamaha and Honda are more susceptible to
corrosion which leads to damage of the R40 Kicker steering actuator.
2 For the purposes of Reactor 40 Kicker installation, consider
Mercury and Tohatsu outboards to be the same.
