Garmin Reactor 40 Steer-By-Wire Corepack f/Yamaha Helm Master w/GHC 50 Autopilot Instrument

Description

Match a compatible Yamaha Helm Master system with the Garmin Reactor 40 Steer-By-Wire Corepack for Yamaha Helm Master with GHC 50. This corepack includes a Reactor 40 autopilot, Autopilot Gateway, and GHC 50 control display for the specified Yamaha Helm Master system. A 9-axis solid-state AHRS forms the autopilot sensor architecture, while the GHC 50 uses a 5-inch touchscreen for onboard configuration and control. [158]

The system operates from 10V to 30V DC and connects through NMEA 2000 with the Yamaha gateway. Flush and bracket mounting are specified for the GHC 50, which measures 5.5 x 4.1 x 2.0 inches. The display carries an IPX7 rating and an operating temperature range of minus 15°C to 55°C. Compatibility should be checked against the installed Yamaha Helm Master system because Garmin specifies that this corepack is not compatible with Helm Master EX. [158]

System Integration and Controls

This Garmin Reactor 40 package is intended for compatible Yamaha Helm Master systems and requires the existing Yamaha steering installation. Garmin identifies Yamaha Helm Master as compatible but identifies Helm Master EX as not compatible with this specific corepack. The system uses the Reactor 40, Autopilot Gateway, GHC 50 display, NMEA 2000 network, and Yamaha gateway connection. [158]

Virtual rudder feedback is listed as an integrated function. The autopilot system must be configured according to Garmin and Yamaha documentation. Do not rely on the autopilot as a substitute for a proper lookout, navigation planning, charts, or safe vessel operation.
