Specially designed for boats with small gasoline outboard motors up to 20 horsepower. Helps maintain heading hold and route to keep you on course -- even against wind waves or heavy current.

Throttle valve actuator must work!

The Reactor 40 throttle actuator is unstable. You need to restart and disconnect the ECU. Yamaha 9.9 installed. Installation is not for those not inclined to mechanics. Be sure to watch the video on YouTube.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Available in black only

Similar but different beast than TR1 Gold

I have had TR1 Gold for about 12 years and it has been very reliable. After getting a new boot about a year ago and transplanting my old TR1 to a new boot and T9.9 High Thrust Kicker. After a few months of watching and reading 40 Kicker installation guides, I decided to upgrade. What I like best is the wireless remote control and non-hydraulic steering. Seems to be working fine. The throttle actuator is much better and more accurate than TR1. But my kicker doesn't have a tiller, it has aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some minor things

Not compatible with compatible Honda motor from Garmin website!

Checked for engine compatibility and clearly stated for Honda 8hp (2016) compatibility. Bought just to have a big wreck called Garmin and the rep in a nice calm well trained voice 'advised' me to just return it - not compatible (no pressure pipe to fit a steering gear). Since then he has been silent.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
