Ideal Entry-level Autopilot System

Includes Compact Reactor 40 CCU, ECU, pump and other autopilot components needed to add to your compatible chartplotter

Recommended only for single-engine outboard boats less than 30’ long¹

Solid-state 9-axis Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS)

Minimizes heading error, course deviation, rudder movement and power consumption while providing a comfortable ride

Minimal commissioning and calibration

Designed for boats less than 30’ long, the Compact Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot provides relief from manually holding the wheel to maintain course, especially when cruising at moderate to high speeds¹. Sit back at the helm, and enjoy your time on the water as the solid-state 9-axis AHRS technology delivers a comfortable ride.

Offered in 3 different corepacks, this autopilot lets you configure your autopilot setup, depending on the features you need and how much you want to spend. Buy the starter pack (compatible chartplotter required²), add a GHC 20 marine autopilot control unit, or add both GHC 20 and the Shadow Drive attachment.

The autopilot is easy to install with flexible mounting options and quick, easy commissioning. Choose a corepack with our patented Shadow Drive technology, and simply turn the wheel to take control of the helm; hold a constant course to re-engage. It integrates with compatible Garmin electronics to control the autopilot from the chartplotter display. And it can be engaged to follow an Auto Guidance path³ (requires LakeVü HD Ultra maps or BlueChart g2 Vision HD charts).
