The Furuno NavPilot 300 is a revolutionary adaptive autopilot system designed for outboard and sterndrive vessels from 24 to 50 feet with one to four engines. This complete system includes the PG700 fluxgate compass with rate gyroscope stabilization and a 1.6-liter Octopus hydraulic pump for multi-cylinder steering systems (12-23 cubic inch ram capacity).
Fantum Feedback Technology:
NavPilot 300 features Furuno's innovative Fantum Feedback system, which eliminates the need for a physical rudder feedback unit on outboard installations. Combined with adaptive learning technology, this delivers precise course control from slow trolling speeds up to over 60 knots on planing and semi-displacement hulls.
Gesture Controller:
The included Bluetooth gesture controller allows wireless autopilot control from anywhere on deck within 10 meters. Simply push and hold the button, point toward your desired heading, and release—the autopilot redirects the boat automatically.
Advanced Operating Modes on 4.1" Color LCD:
- SABIKI Mode: Maintains heading while drifting astern, compensating for wind and tide—ideal for jigging, Sabiki fishing, and bottom fishing
- FishHunter Mode: Performs automated search patterns (zigzag, orbit, figure-8, or spiral) around targets from compatible Furuno sonar or radar; also functions for man overboard recovery
- Highway Mode: Intuitive graphical course display
- Auto and Advanced Auto Modes: Standard autopilot operation with adaptive steering response
Complete System Includes:
- FAP-3011 4.1" color LCD control unit
- GC-001 Bluetooth gesture controller
- FAP-3012 processor unit
- PG700 fluxgate compass with solid-state rate gyroscope and 6-meter cable
- 1,600cc/min Octopus hydraulic pump, 12V (for 12-23 cubic inch ram systems)
- NMEA 2000 network components: male and female micro terminators, three T-connectors
The PG700 compass sensor features magnetic field distortion correction for highly accurate and stable heading data. NMEA 2000 connectivity enables integration with compatible chart plotters, radar, and fishfinders for enhanced functionality including waypoint navigation and FishHunter target marking.
