The fully gasketed housing is rated IPX7 for incidental water exposure, and the enclosure measures 168 x 117 x 51 mm (6.6 x 4.6 x 2 in.) with a listed weight of 680 g (24 oz.).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECU 10 controller for Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot systems, managing the hydraulic pump from CCU steering commands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11.5 to 30 Vdc input range for 12 V and 24 V DC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40 A blade-type fuse specification for the ECU main power feed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain power usage listed at 1 A (not including the hydraulic pump load)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully gasketed, high-impact aluminum alloy housing with IPX7 water resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size: 168 x 117 x 51 mm (6.6 x 4.6 x 2 in.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 ft (2.7 m) ECU power cable length and -15°C to 60°C (5°F to 140°F) operating temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ECU is part of a Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot setup and is not a stand-alone steering controller. It is used alongside the CCU and a compatible hydraulic pump, with autopilot control handled through a dedicated helm control or a compatible chartplotter on the NMEA 2000 network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm your system calls for an ECU 10 and that you have a mounting location that keeps the unit accessible for service while staying out of continuously wet or submerged areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the ECU mounting so wiring can be routed cleanly to the pump and to the CCU without sharp bends, chafe points, or unsupported spans. A typical Reactor 40 installation uses a 5 m (16 ft.) CCU-to-ECU cable that is not meant to be cut, so the ECU location is usually chosen with that run in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse proper strain relief at the unit and at bulkhead pass-throughs, and keep the ECU where it will not be exposed to direct spray, standing water, or constant engine-room heat soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ECU supply feed should be protected with the specified 40 A fuse and wired with conductor sizing appropriate for the pump current and cable length. On 24 V boats, the ECU can be supplied from 24 V DC within its 11.5 to 30 Vdc input range, but the NMEA 2000 network power for the autopilot side of the system is typically in the 9 to 16 Vdc range, so plan the network power source accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood grounding, sealed terminations, and tidy cable routing make a noticeable difference on boats that see washdowns, vibration, and long runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good fit for boats with hydraulic steering that rely on a Reactor 40 autopilot for long coastal runs, offshore transits, and hands-on fishing where consistent course control matters. It also makes sense as a replacement ECU when the rest of the Reactor 40 components remain in place and the system wiring already supports an ECU 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeriodically check the power connections for corrosion, verify the fuse condition, and confirm the unit remains securely mounted with no cable chafe. If the ECU is installed in a damp machinery space, routine inspection after washdowns and seasonal layup helps prevent intermittent power or pump-control issues later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269300154549,"sku":"QBP175814","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299146_qbp175814.jpg?v=1771543134","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp175814","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
