Garmin Reactor 40

I have a 23' Crestliner Eagle with stern drive and a Merc 9.9 pro kicker motor. I have Lowrance hds gen 2 electronics. Looking to install the Garmin reactor 40 on the kicker for autopilot. Can I link the 2 systems together ? Or can I run the garmin independently ?  Thanks for any advice.

I would email Garmin support and ask them to be certain... their CS is usually very helpful.

You can link them together via NMEA2000, but it doesn't work as seamlessly as using the Reactor 40 with a Garmin MFD. There's not much functionality you're going to gain linking them. We install a lot of Reactor 40's with hydraulic and mechanical steering.
