Description
The Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker autopilot with GHC 50 brings GPS-stabilised steering to boats powered by a small kicker or trolling outboard. The Reactor 40 CCU is a solid-state course computer that senses heading, attitude and rate of turn to hold a course or follow a route accurately. Instead of a hydraulic pump, this system uses a steering actuator that fits into the motor tilt tube to steer the outboard, plus a throttle actuator that controls the motor speed, so the autopilot can hold a heading hands-free. The steering actuator must be installed in a stainless steel tilt tube for reliable long-term operation. Control is through the supplied GHC 50, a 5 in colour touchscreen instrument with NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and ANT+ connectivity. Dockside and Sea Trial wizards tune the system to your boat.

What type of motor is this autopilot for?
It is designed to steer a small kicker or trolling outboard. A steering actuator fits in the motor tilt tube and a throttle actuator controls the motor speed.
What is the GHC 50?
The GHC 50 is Garmin marine autopilot instrument, with a 5 in sunlight-readable colour touchscreen and NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and ANT+ connectivity for wired and wireless control.
What power supply is required?
The ECU connects to a 12 to 24 Vdc supply through the supplied 40 A fuse, and the NMEA 2000 network is powered from a 9 to 16 Vdc source.
Do I need a stainless steel tilt tube?
Yes. The steering actuator must run in a stainless steel tilt tube. Many motors, including some Honda and Yamaha models, use non-stainless tubes that must be replaced first; the tube is not included in this pack.
