Garmin GHP™ Reactor 40 for mechanical / hydraulic / solenoid steering systems
With new GHC50 display
Our most responsive autopilot 9-axis solid-state AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) compass.
Reduction of deviation and course errors, rudder movement and lower power consumption, for precise and comfortable navigation.
Designed to be installed without orientation constraints.
Significantly reduced calibration and initial setup times.
Heading and wind angle hold (gWind™ transducer required) with tack and gybe functions.
Garmin offers advanced technology for both sailboats and powerboats with its innovative GHP Reactor autopilot series. GHP Reactor is one of the most sensitive and responsive systems on the market.
GHP Reactor autopilots include features such as heading hold, wind angle hold with tack and gybe functions and much more.
The GHP Reactor is an extremely versatile system. Compatible with hydraulic, mechanical, and solenoid steering systems, it's ideal for both sailing and motorboats. It's an indispensable aid during navigation when you need to leave the helm to perform other tasks or control other onboard devices.
AHRS System - 9-axis solid-state compass The GHP Reactor delivers unprecedented performance through the use of a 9-axis solid-state compass and AHRS that minimizes course and heading errors, thus limiting rudder movement and vessel power consumption, ensuring precise and comfortable course keeping.
Responsive in every situation This extraordinary autopilot adapts to any sea conditions to help you stay on course. The GHP Reactor can perfectly maintain your set course even when pitching and rolling in rough seas.
Significantly reduced calibration and initial setup times All autopilots require commissioning and calibration. The new Reactor autopilots have simpler processes than previous versions, and setup and calibration times have been significantly reduced, from 20 to 5 minutes.
Full integration with Garmin chartplotters With a compatible Garmin network chartplotter, you can have complete control of the GHP Reactor directly from the display. Using BlueChart® g2 Vision cartography (sold separately), you can take advantage of the innovative Autoguidance feature, automatically following the best route to a point on the GPS. The GHP Reactor, in addition to holding course in any sea conditions, can easily perform numerous preprogrammed procedures, such as search and trolling.
Installation The GHP Reactor autopilot can be installed on sailing and powerboats using CR hydraulic, mechanical, solenoid, and reversible pump actuators from other manufacturers. It can also be used for refitting boats with existing systems.
Linear actuators Mechanical linear actuator for sailboats - Type A: These durable, compact, and lightweight linear actuators are designed for extended use. Extremely efficient, they minimize the vessel's energy consumption. The Type A actuator can be used on vessels up to 13 tons in displacement and equipped with mechanical steering. Mounted below deck, they directly move the rudder shaft by acting on the dedicated arm or a dedicated section.
Hydraulic Linear Actuator for Sailboats - Type A: Type A hydraulic linear actuators are designed for vessels up to 22 tons in displacement and consist of a hydraulic cylinder with a clutch. The Type A actuator connects to the rudder stock via an independent arm.
Hydraulic linear actuator for sailboats - Type B: Type B hydraulic linear actuators are designed for vessels with a displacement of up to 35 tons and consist of a hydraulic cylinder with clutch, a reversible pump, and a reservoir. The Type B actuator connects to the rudder stock via an independent arm.
Connecting to network devices The GHP Reactor autopilot connects to the Garmin Marine Network via NMEA 2000®, allowing data to be shared with compatible chartplotters. It supports up to three GHC™ 50 control heads for data viewing, which can also be controlled via an optional wireless remote or with quatix®, the world's first GPS watch for marine navigation.
GRF™ 10 Sensor The GHP Reactor for mechanical/hydraulic/solenoid steering systems requires, when not included in the actuator, a Garmin GRF 10 sensor to obtain rudder position data and increase course stability while navigating.
