Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot w/Stainless Steel Tilt Tube
Saltwater corrosion will not bind the Garmin Reactor 40 kicker autopilot, which threads a 316 stainless steel tilt-tube actuator directly onto 5HP-to-20HP auxiliary engines, delivering precision throttle and dual-direction steering across 10V-to-20V circuits.
- 316 stainless steel mount resists saltwater corrosion
- Steers 5HP-to-20HP auxiliary kicker engines
- GHC 50 touchscreen provides responsive navigation
- IPX7 submersible actuator survives heavy transom spray
- Floating throttle control maintains steady trolling speed
Control a compatible small kicker outboard with the Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot with Stainless Steel Tilt Tube. This autopilot package is designed for small gasoline outboards up to 25 horsepower that use a tilt tube, providing automatic steering and, on supported tiller-throttle engines, throttle control. The stainless steel tilt tube is particularly useful for Yamaha and Honda applications because it offers improved corrosion resistance compared with the mild-steel tilt tubes supplied on some engines. [161][287]
The system includes the Reactor 40 CCU and ECU, steering actuator, throttle actuator, stainless steel tilt tube, wireless remote, NMEA 2000 components, and associated installation hardware. A compatible Garmin chartplotter or separate GHC autopilot display is required if the selected package does not include a display. Engine-specific installation hardware or adapter kits may be required depending on the kicker make, horsepower, year, tilt-tube design, and throttle arrangement. [279][284]
Before Ordering
Confirm a compatible kicker outboard up to 25 horsepower, an existing tilt tube or required stainless-steel replacement, engine make and model, engine year, tiller-throttle compatibility, required adapter kit, available steering-actuator clearance, NMEA 2000 network, 10V to 20V supply, 10A circuit capacity, compatible Garmin display or chartplotter, and all required installation hardware before purchase.
