Furuno NavPilot 711C Control Unit

Experience effortless navigation with the NavPilot 711C Control Unit. Designed for a wide range of vessels, this advanced autopilot system ensures precise course-keeping while allowing you to relax and enjoy your journey.

Advanced Autopilot Technology

FURUNO's NavPilot 711C is a state-of-the-art autopilot system featuring a sunlight-readable color day/night display. Its self-learning and adaptive software continuously optimizes navigation parameters such as vessel speed, trim, draught, tide, wind effects, dead band, and weather conditions. These adjustments enhance the autopilot’s versatility and reliability, ensuring your vessel stays on course under varying conditions.

Key Features

Self-Learning and Adaptive Software

From initial setup to every voyage you undertake, the NavPilot 711C learns your vessel's unique steering characteristics. This enables real-time, dynamic adjustments for more accurate and responsive steering, enhancing overall navigation performance.

SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST

The optional SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features integrate seamlessly with your vessel's hydraulic hand steering system, providing unmatched comfort and control from any manual helm. These modes significantly reduce steering effort and increase the safety of your autopilot system.

• SAFE HELM: Enhances manual steering safety by reducing effort and improving control.
• POWER ASSIST: Offers speed-based, power-assisted steering, ideal for maneuvering in tight situations. This feature can replace traditional electric and engine-driven power steering systems, simplifying your steering setup and reducing costs.

Both modes require the optional FPS8 Power Steering Module and a compatible HRP Pumpset. It is highly recommended to purchase and install the FPS8 Power Steering Module alongside the NavPilot 700 Series Autopilot to avoid future plumbing and cabling modifications.

FishHunter Mode

Enhance your marine adventures with FishHunter mode, exclusive to FURUNO's NavPilot series. By integrating with FURUNO sonar/sounder or radar, FishHunter allows you to define targets such as fish or birds. The NavPilot then executes square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral, or figure-eight maneuvers around the target at your chosen distance. This feature is also effective for Man Overboard (MOB) scenarios, ensuring quick and precise responses.

Seamless Integration

The NavPilot 711C is designed to work harmoniously with FURUNO’s NavNet 3D, FI-50 Instrument series, and other navigation equipment. Its Plug and Play CAN bus interface facilitates easy installation and exceptional compatibility with your existing marine electronics setup.
