It runs on 10V to 20V power and outputs on NMEA 2000 for control and heading data sharing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is intended for hydraulic steering systems with a steering cylinder up to 10 cubic inches, and it can be controlled from a compatible Garmin chartplotter or from a dedicated GHC helm control, depending on the configuration. The CCU measures 4.3 in x 4.4 in x 1.9 in, and the pump measures 6.6 in x 3.9 in x 3.3 in, which helps when you are planning space under the helm or in a console.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup makes sense when you want steady course keeping at moderate to high cruising speeds on a small outboard boat, and you want the autopilot tied into the same network as your Garmin navigation electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic autopilot corepack with a 1.0 L pump for steering cylinders up to 10 cubic inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid-state 9-axis AHRS for flexible CCU mounting when space is limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10V to 20V power input and NMEA 2000 output for networked integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl from a compatible Garmin chartplotter and support for up to three GHC helm control units on the same system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadow Drive option on select configurations to disengage the autopilot when the helm is turned and re-engage on a steady course\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGHC 50 option adds a 5 in WVGA touchscreen autopilot display at the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGHC 20 option adds a 4 in color display with a wide 170° viewing angle and a glass-bonded lens that helps prevent fogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis autopilot pack is offered in multiple configurations based on the included helm control and whether Shadow Drive is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Compact Reactor 40 hydraulic core components stay consistent across the range; what changes is the included autopilot instrument (GHC 50, GHC 20, or none) and the presence of Shadow Drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e010-02794-07: Includes the GHC 50 autopilot instrument.

For best results, mount the pump within 6 ft of the steering cylinder, and bleed the steering circuit thoroughly after plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommissioning and calibration set up the heading sensor and steering response so the autopilot can make smooth corrections as conditions change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eNetwork and helm control\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompact Reactor 40 communicates over NMEA 2000, so it can share heading information with other devices on the network and take control commands from the helm. You can run it from your compatible Garmin chartplotter screen, from the included GHC control head when selected, or from optional remote control accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with compatible Garmin radar and a chartplotter, shared autopilot heading data can support features such as MARPA and chart overlay on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis package is intended for hydraulically steered boats with a steering cylinder up to 10 cubic inches. It is not recommended for power assist steering installs, engines above 150 horsepower, or boats with more than 12 degrees of deadrise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also not recommended for fishing applications that require holding heading while trolling at low speeds or operating in rough waters, where more steering authority is typically needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup is a good match for small center consoles, bay boats, and runabouts with hydraulic steering where you spend time cruising and want the boat to hold a steady heading while you manage lines, watch traffic, or make chartplotter changes. On a long run, it also helps cut down on fatigue when the wheel needs constant small corrections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"GHC 50","offer_id":52271102918837,"sku":"QBP463735-V1","price":1799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GHC 50 \u0026 Shadow Drive","offer_id":52271102951605,"sku":"QBP463735-V2","price":2199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GHC 20","offer_id":52271102984373,"sku":"QBP463735-V3","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GHC 20 \u0026 Shadow Drive","offer_id":52271103017141,"sku":"QBP463735-V4","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Non Included","offer_id":52271103049909,"sku":"QBP463735-V5","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1307336_qbp463735.webp?v=1771552940","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp463735","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
