Garmin Reactor™ 40 Hydraulic Autopilot with SmartPump

Our autopilot system with greater responsiveness in the water

9-axis solid-state attitude and course reference system (AHRS) with mounting option in any orientation

It reduces course errors, deviation of the route, the movement of the rudder and energy consumption, while offering a more comfortable trip

Simple commissioning and calibration

A compact and brushless SmartPump v2 pump adapts to most navigation applications with hydraulic steering systems

The patented Shadow Drive™ technology allows you to stay in control even when the autopilot is activated

Requires a compatible Garmin plotter

Garmin provides advanced nautical technology for users in the field of navigation previously available only for commercial boats in a complete package designed for sailing and motor boats. The Reactor 40 series of autopilots provides the most responsive autopilot system we have offered so far. Enjoy the ultimate performance in hydraulic autopilots by pairing it with the universal-sized, high-reliability SmartPump v21 brushless pump.

9-axis solid-state AHRS technology

The advanced 9-axis solid-state AHRS system allows you to install the Reactor 40 unit in virtually anywhere and orientation. In addition, this new system significantly reduces course errors, route deviation, rudder movement and energy consumption, while offering a comfortable trip for all passengers.

Ability to react to the state of the sea

In fact, this excellent autopilot responds to the state of the sea to stay the course. Even when pitching and swinging movements occur, the Reactor 40 autopilot guarantees that you maintain the desired course.

Simple commissioning and calibration

All autopilots, without exception, require a commissioning and calibration process. We know that what you want is to get into the water, that’s why we have streamlined and simplified this process as much as possible.

Full integration with Garmin plotters

You will have full control of the Reactor 40 unit from the plotter screen. By combining it with a compatible Garmin plotter connected to the network and the BlueChart® g2 Vision® cards, you will be able to enjoy additional functions such as Auto ruta2, which controls the rudder automatically following the GPS routes.

SmartPump v2 is the simplest solution

With the Reactor 40 autopilot with SmartPump v2 it is no longer necessary to find out the appropriate pump size for your boat. SmartPump v2 works for most boats; you will know that you have the right pump for your boat, so that you enjoy optimal control and total confidence. In addition, it offers complete control in a smaller size with better thermal performance, greater reliability and lower energy consumption. It also includes color-coded connectors to make it as easy as possible to install. Very intelligent.

Limit the maximum flow rate

Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 automatically adjusts the maximum flow rate for a particular boat from 0 to 2.4 liters per minute. It also uses a brushless motor, which provides greater reliability, a longer life of the pump, lower energy consumption, quieter operation, a smaller format, better thermal performance and greater efficiency.

Eliminates the risk of the rudder turning completely

The Reactor 40 autopilot with SmartPump v2 is a complete autopilot package. SmartPump v2 is an integrated unit composed of a motor drive circuit with a single support for the pump. Equipped with intelligent rudder speed (IRRT) technology, it reduces the speed of the rudder when the boat sails at high speed and accelerates it when the boat navigates at low speed to provide optimal performance and safety in all conditions. The brushless motor unit eliminates the risk of the rudder turning completely due to hardware or software failures.

Enjoy a more durable system

Navigation environments are harsh, especially in salt water. That’s why the SmartPump v2 pump is protected against the elements. The SmartPump v2 pump has been manufactured with corrosion-resistant components, such as anodized aluminum parts and nickel-plated steel.

Experience the advanced autopilot technology

With Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 on your boat, you will have control from anywhere on it. In addition to maintaining the course in practically all types of weather and wind conditions, the system can also smoothly carry out a series of pre-programmed fishing and search procedures. In addition, with a compatible Garmin plotter connected to the network and the BlueChart g2 Vision charts (sold separately), you will be able to access additional functions such as Auto route2, which controls the rudder automatically following the GPS routes.

Stay in control with Shadow Drive technology

Reactor 40 with SmartPump v2 incorporates the patented Shadow Drive technology. This gives you the security of knowing that you will maintain control even with the autopilot activated. The Shadow Drive system automatically deactivates the autopilot if the rudder is turned, giving you the freedom to maneuver the ship. The autopilot is automatically reactivated when a fixed course is maintained.

Even more tranquility

Add an optional GRF™ 10 rudder response sensor and you can improve the performance of the Reactor 40 autopilot with SmartPump v2.
