  1. I just purchased the Garmin reactor 40 Kicker auto pilot. I did read some reviews and did research before pulling the trigger on this expensive upgrade. Some other things that I came across is the concern with the actuator arm becoming unthreaded. This seems like it’s mitigated by red loctite. Also, when mounting the CCU and ECU (should you choose to tackle this job on your own) it’s a good idea to install vibration dampeners. They are simply rubber grommets that will go between the ECU / CCU and the area of the boat you plan on mounting it to. The NMEA 2000 network that you will build when installing also has a few things you should be aware of. If you are buying just the reactor 40 unit and will be using your Garmin unit to interface you will need to purchase a NMEA T connector as well as a drop cable (I purchased off of amazon). If you purchase the package that comes with either the GHC 20 or the GHC 50 display Garmin will include the necessary cable and T connector to interface. 

     

    With all the above being said, I have not even received the unit yet. It will be here today at some point. I will be installing it on a 2022 Mercury 9.9 pro kicker. I hope that it wont be to tall of a task lol. I usually do all of my own work unless it’s out of my wheelhouse mechanically, technically and of course with respect to the tools I have on hand.

  2. Selling my 2003 Johnson 2 stroke that runs great and has approximately 1300 hours on it. Its oil injected and will come with side mount controls. I repowered with a 4 stroke. Asking 2000 or best offer. The motor is on a crate and ready to be delivered or picked up. Its currently located at Snake Creek Marine in Montrose PA. Below is pictures of it on the boat.

  3. Was going to keep this however I upgraded to a new mercury 9.9 pro kicker. This was used last year as a kicker and has about 25 hours on it including break in. It will come with a 3 gallon fuel tank and fuel line. Its a 20 inch long shaft, has electric start and charging. I purchased it from outboard direct last year in July. Will let it go for 1500.00

  4. For sale is a Cannon optimum with the optional transducer and the cannon ball retrieve attached. Original box, manuals and everything that came with it will be included. Will also throw in a 10lb ball, and a few releases. Reason for selling is that my fishing boat was sold and now I am rocking a Cruiser that is more for relaxing on. Local pickup is preferred. 1200.00 takes it.
