REACTOR 40 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 Consider replacing the mild steel tilt tubes supplied by Yamaha and Honda with our stainless steel tilt tube (see accessories on Garmin.com). Yamaha and Honda tilt tubes will be more susceptible to corrosion and require more frequent cleaning and lube, especially when used in saltwater. Reactor 40 Kicker is designed for freshwater and saltwater use.

² For the purposes of Reactor 40 Kicker installation, consider Mercury and Tohatsu outboards to be the same.
