Garmin Compact Reactor ECU - Asking $650 + Shipping from Virginia
Garmin 1.0L Pump - Asking $150 + Shipping from Virginia

For a full price offer for both I'll pay shipping to lower 48.

Both items were installed in a new build and tested. I determined they were too small for the boat and replaced them with appropriate sized units and am trying to get some of my cost back. I don't have the original packaging.

Per Garmin - these are designed for boats less than 30 feet.

I'm looking for autopilot for my rig the ram is 9 cubic inch,how much smaller is that one from the one you needed,and what happened on the boat when you tried running a to small pump

You're in luck, I'm out at the house right now when your message hit my inbox so I can look up my specs.

My ram is a Seastar BA175-7TM. It has a 13.7 cu.in. volume.

When we sea trialed and ran the setup protocol, it set up OK and ran OK. That involved letting the autopilot direct a series of partial turns. It all checked out OK. But there wasn't any real stress on the steering or the pump because we were on the Intercoastal in mild winds. The pump really wasn't pumping much volume - so any pump would have worked in those conditions. I suspect it would have had problems in more extreme conditions. I don't know whether that would have resulted in catastrophic failure, simply slow response in holding course, or early pump failure. I replaced the pump after seatrial and before accepting delivery.
