Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Engine Compatibility

• Throttle control is designed for tiller configured outboards only. Compatibility for remote throttle control configurations may require customized installation.

Manuals

REACTOR 40 KICKER ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot is currently compatible with the following engines.

NOTE: The outboard motors listed below are compatible only if:

• The outboard has a tiller handle. Outboards without a tiller handle may work with custom installation not supported by Garmin
• The outboard has a tilt tube. Outboards without a standard tilt tube are not compatible.  Aftermarket “bolt on” tilt tubes are not supported (incorrectly positions steering actuator)

¹  Garmin requires replacement of the mild steel tilt tubes supplied by Yamaha and Honda with our stainless steel tilt tube.  This can be ordered as a kit or as an accessory of R40 Kicker (see accessories on Garmin.com). Mild steel tubes from Yamaha and Honda are more susceptible to corrosion which leads to damage of the R40 Kicker steering actuator. 

² For the purposes of Reactor 40 Kicker installation, consider Mercury and Tohatsu outboards to be the same.
