Installing a Garmin Rudder Feedback Sensor
If you installed a drive unit provided by Garmin, rudder feedback data is provided by the drive unit, and a
separate rudder feedback sensor is not required. If you are connecting the autopilot to a drive unit not sold by
Garmin, you must also install a rudder feedback sensor, such as the GRF 10 (sold separately).
Follow the installation instructions provided with your GRF rudder feedback sensor to connect it to your
rudder control and autopilot system.

Drive Unit Installation

The drive unit (sold separately) must be connected to your rudder control so the Reactor 40 Mechanical
autopilot can steer your boat. When you purchase a drive unit sold by Garmin, it will include the correct cables,
connectors, and instructions.
If a drive unit is installed on your boat already, you can use a drive unit power cable (sold separately) to adapt
your drive unit for use with the autopilot system.
If you connect the autopilot system to a drive unit not sold by Garmin, you must also provide rudder-feedback
information by installing and connecting a Garmin rudder-feedback sensor (recommended) or by connecting to
an existing rudder-feedback sensor on your boat using a rudder feedback cable (sold separately).
Installing a Garmin Drive Unit
Follow the installation instructions provided with your Garmin drive unit to mount it and connect it to your
rudder control and autopilot system.
