Garmin Reactor 40 Steer-By-Wire Corepack f/Volvo-Penta w/o GHC 20

Description

Configure a compatible Volvo Penta electronic steering system with the Garmin Reactor 40 Steer-By-Wire Corepack for Volvo Penta. This 10V to 30V DC corepack connects with specified Volvo Penta IPS and sterndrive systems through an NMEA 2000 and EVC gateway arrangement. The package includes a Reactor 40 control unit, CCU, GHC display cable, and NMEA 2000 kit, while the 109 mm by 112 mm CCU chassis should be considered during bulkhead or concealed mounting planning.

The corepack weighs 0.27 kg, or 0.6 lb, and draws less than 200 mA for its digital-control functions. An IPX7-rated gasketed polycarbonate enclosure operates from minus 15°C to 55°C. This product does not include a GHC 20 display, so a compatible display or multifunction display is required for system operation. Confirm Volvo Penta EVC compatibility, network connection, display requirement, and installation space before purchase.

Key Specifications of the Garmin Reactor 40 Volvo Penta Steer-By-Wire Corepack

• The digital steer-by-wire corepack supports compatible Volvo Penta IPS and sterndrive systems through an NMEA 2000 and EVC gateway connection.
• Operating voltage ranges from 10V to 30V DC, while digital-control draw remains below 200 mA for power-planning purposes.
• The 109 mm by 112 mm CCU chassis supports bulkhead or concealed internal mounting, requiring suitable location and cable clearance.
• An IPX7-rated gasketed polycarbonate enclosure operates from minus 15°C to 55°C under the stated environmental specification.
• The package includes a CCU, GHC display cable, and NMEA 2000 kit for the documented steer-by-wire system connection.
• Volvo Penta EVC integration uses a CAN-bus gateway interface, requiring confirmation of the installed IPS or sterndrive electronic steering system.
• A compatible GHC display or multifunction display is required because this corepack does not include a GHC 20 controller.

System Integration and Controls

This Garmin Reactor 40 corepack is for compatible Volvo Penta digital steer-by-wire systems. It is not intended for mechanical cable steering or conventional hydraulic autopilot drives. The CCU, compatible display, NMEA 2000 network, Volvo Penta EVC connection, and existing electronic steering system must be configured as one complete autopilot installation.

Plan the concealed or bulkhead-mounted CCU location around the 109 mm by 112 mm chassis, network cable routing, power supply, display connection, and EVC gateway interface. Confirm that the vessel has compatible Volvo Penta IPS or sterndrive steering and an available GHC or multifunction display before selecting this display-free corepack.

Why Choose the Garmin Reactor 40 Volvo Penta Steer-By-Wire Corepack

The Garmin Reactor 40 Volvo Penta Steer-By-Wire Corepack provides a digital autopilot interface for compatible IPS and sterndrive systems without including a GHC 20 display. Its 10V to 30V operating range, below-200 mA draw, NMEA 2000 and EVC gateway integration, IPX7 enclosure, 109 mm by 112 mm CCU chassis, and supplied display cable and network kit provide defined checks for an existing Volvo Penta electronic steering installation.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm the installed Volvo Penta IPS or sterndrive system and available EVC gateway connection before ordering this corepack. Plan the 109 mm by 112 mm CCU mounting position, NMEA 2000 backbone, 10V to 30V DC supply, network cable routes, compatible display connection, and hidden installation space. Follow Garmin and Volvo Penta documentation for gateway integration, configuration, calibration, and commissioning.
