Description
The Garmin Reactor 40 Steer-by-Wire autopilot with GHC 50 adds GPS-stabilised steering to boats fitted with Volvo Penta electronic steering. Instead of a hydraulic pump or mechanical drive, the Reactor 40 CCU connects to the steering controller through its CAN bus and commands the existing Volvo Penta steering directly, keeping installation simple and clean. The CCU is a solid-state course computer that senses heading, attitude and rate of turn to hold a course or follow a route accurately. Control is through the supplied GHC 50, a 5 in colour touchscreen instrument with NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and ANT+ connectivity. NMEA 2000 connectivity ties the system into compatible Garmin chartplotters for waypoint and route navigation, and Dockside and Sea Trial wizards tune performance to your boat.
