·       Compact design: Mount either horizontally or vertically with a low-profile design in new or existing helms.
·       Seamless installation: Connect to a boat’s NMEA® 2000 network with a single port and cable for integration and power.
 
Available now, the APK 10 Autopilot Keypad has a suggested retail price of $399.99. USD. It is compatible with all Garmin Reactor 40 Autopilots, including the award-winning Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot with SmartPump v2.
