This system is specifically suited for single-engine vessels typically under 7.6 meters (some sources indicate under 9.1 meters), providing reliable heading control for navigation. It serves as an alternative to more complex systems intended for larger vessels or configurations with steering assistance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGHC 50 Control Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The system includes the GHC 50 control display, featuring a 5-inch (12.7 cm) WVGA color LCD touchscreen with 800 x 480 pixel resolution. Its edge-to-edge glass design and high brightness ensure clear readability. The GHC 50 offers extended connectivity via NMEA 2000®, Garmin Marine Network, ANT+®, and Wi-Fi® for software updates. Its robust construction, with a fully waterproof polycarbonate housing and anti-reflective glass lens, provides IPX7 water resistance, supporting accidental immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Steering Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    At the core of this system is the Reactor 40, integrating a 9-axis AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System). This semiconductor-based technology minimizes heading error, route deviation, rudder movements, and power consumption, contributing to smoother and more efficient navigation. The patented Shadow Drive™ technology automatically disengages the autopilot when the wheel is manually turned and re-engages once a stable heading is maintained. This feature provides a seamless transition between manual and automatic steering. The system is designed for simplified installation and calibration, with flexible mounting options.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The Reactor 40 Compact Kit integrates with NMEA 2000® and Garmin Marine Network, allowing direct control from a compatible Garmin chartplotter or up to three GHC control units. It responds to marine conditions, helping maintain the desired heading even in rough seas. Features such as heading hold and pre-programmed turns are available, and with an optional wind sensor, it supports wind hold and tacking. The system offers remote control capabilities via compatible Garmin devices, including the Reactor remote and certain quatix® smartwatches. It can also follow Auto Guidance+™ routes when paired with compatible Garmin charts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Compact + Shadow Drive","offer_id":55863257039188,"sku":"010-02794-08","price":1436.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/01_183748c6-8963-4b8e-9fd7-048bc4113b09.jpg?v=1779219253","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-reactor-40-compact-hydraulic-autopilot-kit-ghc50-shadow-drive","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
