C-Dory 22 Autopilot Upgrade | Garmin Reactor 40 Install

I just finished installing a Garmin Compact Reactor 40 autopilot system on my C-Dory 22 Cruiser, Calypso. The Reactor 40 is one of the most popular autopilot systems for small cruisers and fishing boats, and it makes long runs and trolling so much easier. If you’re considering adding an autopilot to your boat, this video will give you a solid overview of what’s involved in the install. 💡 Sponsored by Defender Marine – Huge thanks to Defender for supporting this project and helping make this video possible!
