FAQ

What autopilot system is this actuator compatible with?

The Garmin Steering Actuator is designed specifically for use with the Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker Autopilot system. It is not a universal actuator and is intended to be used as part of that complete autopilot setup.

How does the steering actuator mount to my kicker motor?

The actuator mounts through the tilt tube of your kicker motor. This provides a secure, integrated connection that allows the autopilot system to control steering direction without interfering with normal motor operation.

Is the actuator waterproof?

Yes. The Garmin Steering Actuator carries an IPX7 water rating, meaning it is protected against temporary immersion in water. This makes it well-suited for demanding marine environments where spray, rain, and splashing are common.

Can this actuator be used in cold weather?

Absolutely. The actuator is rated to operate in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for cold early-season fishing trips. It also handles high temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius for warm-weather use.

Does the actuator come with installation instructions?

Garmin typically includes installation documentation with their components, and additional resources are available through Garmin's support site. If you have specific installation questions, feel free to contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com and we'll be happy to help.
