Furuno NavPilot 711c Colour Autopilot System (Excludes Compass)

Furuno NavPilot 711c Colour Autopilot System (Excludes Compass)

Kick back, relax and let NAVpilot steer you to the destination!

FURUNO's NAVpilot is a revolutionary autopilot with a sunlight viewable display designed for a variety of vessels. It utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm, and plays the ultimate role in course keeping capability, dynamically adjusting essential parameters for navigation i.e., vessel speed, trim, draught, tide and wind effects, dead band, weather, etc. These parameters are stored in the system memory and continuously optimized.

Perfect for inboard or outboard power boats and sail boats

Introducing “SABIKI mode” for the NAVpilot-711C

With the brand new SABIKI mode your NAVpilot-711C has just become even more capable than before. SABIKI mode lets the autopilot take control while you are drifting astern, so you can focus on fishing instead of steering. Moving astern at a slow pace the SABIKI mode is uniquely tailored for sabiki fishing, jigging and bottom fishing.

SABIKI mode is only available on vessels with outboard engines. 

Furuno Fantum Feedback - allows for no physical rudder feedback unit for a streamlined installation and precise course control

Furuno's all-new "Fantum Feedback" NAVpilot software clears the path to a simplied installation, while also delivering enhanced steering control. With Fantum Feedback, NAVpilot outboard installations no longer require use of a physical rudder feedback unit.

Fantum Feedback is a menu-selectable feature available in the latest NAVpilot-700 series software. This new software was developed and extensively tested on a wide variety of outboard vessels with hydraulic steering and reversing pump control. Fantum Feedback achieves precise course control, from slow trolling speeds to high-speed cruising, utilizing a newly developed gain process, rather than traditional rudder angle based control.

Simplified activation set-up by on-screen wizard

Optional revolutionary SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST brings unrivaled steering control and comfort at the helm*

The SAFE HELM temporarily switches the NAVpilot to manual steering for a specied time interval, taking it out of an automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.) After the time interval has elapsed, SAFE HELM is deactivated and the previous automatic steering mode is restored.

The POWER ASSIST is a unique helm-activated assisted steering feature that can augment and possibly replace separate electric and power-robbing, engine-driven power steering systems on many vessels. POWER ASSIST reduces steering system complexity and costs while increasing economy.

* Required Options - HRP11 or HRP17 Pump and FPS8 Power Steering 

Utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm

From the rst dock-side setup through the last voyage you made, NAVpilot continues to learn your vessel's steering characteristics. This allows dynamic adjustments to the boat's steering for vessel speed, trim, draft, tide and wind effects, weather, etc. These characteristics are stored in the processor's memory where they are continuously optimized to make the NAVpilot more versatile. 

Selectable "Economy" and "Precision" Navigation Modes combine adaptive technology providing fuel and power savings of up to 2.5% or more.**

"Precision" XTE accuracy: within 0.003 nm

Bright & Clear Display

Various display modes are available, allowing you to customize the data to suit your own preferences with either digital or analog graphics.

The new NAVpilot-711C features a color day/night graphic display, giving you much better sunlight viewability during the day, while not affecting your night vision when the sun goes down.

Simple one-touch mode selection enables flexible steering and course control

Furuno's new NAVpilot series is designed to match the NavNet TZtouch, NavNet 3D, FI-50 Instrument series and other navigation equipment. The “Plug and Play” CAN bus interface allows for easy installation and exceptional interface ability. The diagrams below show typical installations for power and sail boats. 

Different mode variations

FishHunter

The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter to perform square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral or gure eight maneuvers around the specied target at a user selected distance. This feature can also be used for Man Overboard (MOB).
