This system, centered on the Reactor™ 40 Control and Command Unit (CCU), is designed to provide precise course-keeping and seamless integration via the NMEA 2000 network. The CCU serves as the primary sensor, requiring careful installation away from magnetic interference and rigorous calibration.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSteering Configuration and Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Installation and configuration of the \u003cstrong\u003eReactor™ 40 steer-by-wire\u003c\/strong\u003e system are performed using the \"Dockside Wizard\" and \"Sea Trial Wizard\" assistants. These procedures are critical for adapting the autopilot to your boat’s specific dynamics, including steering tests, speed source selection (NMEA 2000 tachometer or external GPS recommended), and tachometer verification. The \"Sea Trial\" assistant enables advanced compass calibration and the \"Autotune\" procedure, which adjusts the autopilot gains for optimal rudder response across varying speeds and sea conditions. A \"Set North\" function is available with a connected GPS to align the compass heading with COG.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGHC™ 50 Integration and Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    This kit includes the \u003cstrong\u003eGarmin GHC™ 50\u003c\/strong\u003e autopilot instrument, providing a dedicated interface for system control and monitoring. The GHC™ 50 connects to the NMEA 2000 network, which powers the device and ensures communication with the CCU and other compatible devices such as wind or speed sensors. If no existing NMEA 2000 network is present, the kit provides the necessary cables and connectors to build one. The GHC™ 50 is installed using a flush-mount template for a clean integration into the dashboard. Connectivity to the boat’s steering system is achieved via a powered CAN bus, ensuring reliable communication with the steering controller.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Electronic steering","offer_id":55860415430996,"sku":"010-02794-03","price":1753.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_0430b8ab-afed-41ae-9085-01b9df2ed52c.jpg?v=1779193013","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-reactor-40-steer-by-wire-autopilot-ghc-50","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
