Garmin Reactor 40 Compact Hyd AP, w/Pump, System Pack ShaDr GHC 50

The Reactor 40 Compact Hydraulic is Garmin's space-saving hydraulic autopilot corepack, aimed at smaller powerboats where a full-size Reactor 40 hydraulic pump and corepack combination would be oversized. This bundle ("System Pack") includes the hydraulic pump itself along with the autopilot corepack, Garmin's Shadow Drive mechanical-steering-override hardware ("ShaDr"), and a GHC 50 autopilot display — effectively a complete, ready-to-install hydraulic autopilot kit rather than a corepack that needs several separate purchases to become a working system.
Shadow Drive is the mechanism that lets the person at the wheel simply turn it to instantly disengage the autopilot and take manual control, without hunting for a standby button — a safety-relevant feature on any powerboat autopilot. The bundled GHC 50 is Garmin's 5-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen autopilot instrument, sharing its glass design language with Garmin's larger GPSMAP chartplotter displays so it looks and feels consistent at the helm. Because this is the "Compact" hydraulic variant, it's built around a smaller-displacement pump suited to smaller helm pumps and steering systems than Garmin's full-size Reactor 40 hydraulic pump, making it the right choice for boats where physical space around the steering system is limited. Garmin positions the Compact Hydraulic corepack specifically for helm pumps under roughly 1.4 cubic inches of displacement, a size bracket typical of smaller centre consoles and cruisers where a full-size Reactor 40 pump would be unnecessarily large.
