Navigate with absolute confidence and maintain ultimate control over your vessel with the Garmin Shadow Drive™ Instrument. This essential accessory is a breakthrough in marine autopilot technology, designed for the discerning boater who demands both the convenience of automated navigation and the immediate reassurance of manual command. It seamlessly integrates with your compatible Garmin autopilot system, providing a fluid and intuitive link between you and your boat´s hydraulic steering.

The GHP 10’s patented Shadow Drive technology gives boaters the security of knowing they maintain control even when relying upon the autopilot. Use this Shadow Drive attachment to automatically disengage the autopilot if the helm is turned, allowing the helmsman to maneuver the boat. When you hold a steady course again, the autopilot smoothly re-engages, allowing you to relax without ever compromising on safety or responsiveness.
