It is the sensor and processing hub that tracks the boat heading and rate of turn so the autopilot can steer based on real-time motion data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CCU ties into a NMEA 2000 network to exchange data with a compatible helm control and other NMEA 2000 devices on board. This part is commonly used when building a Reactor 40 system around a Volvo-Penta setup, or when replacing a failed course computer in an existing installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCourse Computer Unit (CCU) for Reactor 40 systems intended for Volvo-Penta steering integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures heading and rate of turn for autopilot steering calculations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 network connection for control and data sharing with compatible displays and onboard sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on the same NMEA 2000 backbone as a GHC 20 control unit and other NMEA 2000-compatible devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts on a rigid surface and should be kept clear of strong magnetic fields and high-current cabling to avoid sensor interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CCU is intended for Reactor 40 autopilot configurations built around Volvo-Penta installations. It is not a complete autopilot by itself, and it relies on the rest of the Reactor 40 components, the correct steering interface hardware for the boat, and a properly built NMEA 2000 network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor systems with more than one network on board, the CCU needs to be on the same NMEA 2000 network as the device used to configure and control the autopilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the mounting location before drilling. A spot near the center of the boat, away from speakers, large DC motors, and heavy battery cable runs, helps the CCU sense clean heading and turn-rate data. A handheld compass is a quick way to check for magnetic interference in the area you are considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter mounting, connect the CCU into the Reactor 40 harness and the NMEA 2000 network, then complete dockside setup and sea-trial calibration from the helm control or compatible Garmin display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CCU is a good match for Volvo-Penta boats that run longer stretches under power and want consistent course keeping for cruising, fishing, and trolling. It is also the right replacement part when a Reactor 40 system loses heading or turn-rate information and the rest of the steering hardware checks out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269486080181,"sku":"QBP784013","price":3399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300129_qbp784013.jpg?v=1771544237","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp784013","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
