The Furuno NavPilot 711C Control Unit is an autopilot system designed for a wide range of vessels, delivering precise steering through a self-learning engine and a bright, versatile display.
-
Color Day/Night Graphic Display: Sunlight-viewable color display that remains readable in daylight while preserving night vision after dark.
-
Self-Learning and Adaptive Software: From dock-side setup to every voyage, NavPilot learns your vessel's steering characteristics and makes real-time adjustments for more accurate steering.
-
Dynamic Navigation Parameter Optimization: Automatically adjusts essential factors such as vessel speed, trim, draft, tide, wind effects, dead band, and weather; these parameters are stored and continuously optimized.
-
SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST: Provides a dedicated interface to the vessel's hydraulic hand steering, reducing steering effort and enhancing autopilot safety and control from any manual helm. POWER ASSIST adds speed-based steering and can augment or replace other power steering systems; these features require the FPS8 Power Steering Module and an appropriate HRP Pumpset. If you plan to use SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST, install the FPS8 during NavPilot 700 Series installation to avoid re-plumbing later.
-
FishHunter Mode: Uses sonar/sounder or radar data to locate a target and activates square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral, or figure-eight maneuvers around it at a user-selected distance; can also be used for Man Overboard (MOB).
-
Plug-and-Play CAN Bus Interface: Easy installation and seamless interfacing for communication with other navigation gear.
-
NavPilot Series Compatibility: Designed to match NavNet 3D, FI-50 Instrument series, and other Furuno navigation equipment for cohesive system integration.
NavPilot 711C helps you maintain precise course with less manual input by automatically adjusting to speed, wind, tides, trim, and weather changes. The FishHunter feature adds targeted maneuvering options for fishing or MOB scenarios, while the CAN bus interface and overall Furuno integration deliver a streamlined, future-ready autopilot upgrade for a wide range of vessels.
