Garmin Shadow Drive

 Use this Shadow Drive attachment to automatically disengage the autopilot if the helm is turned, allowing the helmsman to maneuver the boat.

Patented Shadow Drive Technology gives boaters the security of knowing they maintain control even when relying upon the autopilot. Shadow Drive Technology will automatically disengage the autopilot if the helm is turned, allowing the helmsman to manoeuvre the boat. The autopilot automatically re-engages when you hold a steady course. The Garmin Reactor autopilot will automatically sense you are making a turn, so should you want to avoid something quickly or simply go onto a new heading, Shadowdrive has it taken care of.
