Picture this: you're out on the water chasing trophy walleye, battling choppy conditions and a stiff crosswind, but your boat holds a steady course without you touching the tiller. That's the freedom the Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot delivers for boats powered by compact gasoline outboards up to 20 horsepower. Tailored specifically for kicker motors—the reliable auxiliary kickers anglers and small-boat owners swear by—this system steps in where manual steering falls short, countering wind, waves, and currents to keep you locked on target.
Unlike bulkier setups for larger hulls, this compact autopilot thrives in tight spaces, blending seamlessly into your tiller-steered setup. It doesn't just hold heading; it follows routes with precision, giving you hands-free control to focus on what matters—whether that's casting lines for salmon, drifting for trout, or simply enjoying a smooth sail from the marina.
The included remote is no gimmick—it's your command center. Its transflective MIP display pops under direct sun, showing clear heading, throttle status, and engagement modes. Powered by simple AA batteries, it floats if dropped overboard and pairs wirelessly for instant control. Need to shadow a school of fish? Engage step steering mode for subtle adjustments, or go full autopilot for straight-line cruising.
