Sit back and relax. With this autopilot, you can maintain heading hold and stay on course.
You’re not just getting an autopilot; you’re getting a convenient floating handheld remote, too.
Easily fine-tune autopilot throttle settings with the touch of a button.

STAY ON COURSE
Whether you’re fishing for your favorite species or just taking your sailboat out of the marina, this autopilot helps maintain heading hold and route to keep you on the course — even against the wind, waves, or heavy current.
EASY-TO-USE REMOTE CONTROL
The Reactor 40 kicker autopilot includes a convenient floating handheld remote control with a bright, sunlight-readable display. This allows you to quickly and easily control throttle settings as well as drop to idle speeds when netting a fish or coming up to a mooring.

Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!

Great design but fail fast in the caribbean sun...
We bought these boots in 2022, and are buying new ones 3 years later. We love the design and the fact that they are easy to remove for inspection of the rig.
