Description
The Garmin Compact Reactor 40 Hydraulic autopilot with GHC 50 and Shadow Drive brings precise, GPS-stabilised steering to boats with hydraulic helms. 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 with minimal wandering. This pack includes a compact electro-hydraulic pump that drives the steering cylinder, an electronic control unit and an audible alarm. A Shadow Drive sensor in the hydraulic line lets you take the wheel at any time and the autopilot steps aside automatically, re-engaging when you settle back on course. Control is through the supplied GHC 50, a 5 in colour touchscreen instrument with NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and ANT+ connectivity. NMEA 2000 connectivity links the system to compatible Garmin chartplotters, and Dockside and Sea Trial wizards tune performance to your boat.

What power supply is required?
The ECU and pump connect 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.
What does the Shadow Drive sensor do?
Fitted in the hydraulic steering line, it detects when you turn the helm manually and suspends autopilot control, then resumes once you hold a steady heading again.
