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. NAVpilot dynamically adjusts essential parameters during navigation, such as vessel speed, trim, draught, tide and wind effects, dead band, weather and more. These parameters are stored in system memory and continuously optimized to make the NAVpilot more versatile.

With Fantum Feedback™, NAVpilot outboard/sterndrive installations no longer require use of a physical rudder feedback unit. NAVpilot software clears the path to a simplified installation, while also delivering enhanced steering control.

FishHunter™ mode is a unique feature of Furuno’s NAVpilot series. Find a fish target with your Furuno sonar/sounder or a bird target with your Furuno radar and feed it to the NAVpilot. The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter™ mode to perform square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral or figure-eight maneuvers around the specified target at a user selected distance. This feature can also be used for man overboard (MOB).

*RRU (Rudder Reference Unit) required to enable FishHunter™ mode on NAVpilot-711C/OB models.
*FishHunter™ mode and NAVpilot-300's FishHunter™ Drive for Suzuki outboards are different features with their own requirements.

With the brand new SABIKI™ mode, your NAVpilot-711C has just become even more capable than before. SABIKI™ mode lets the autopilot 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™ fishing requires a bit of technique, and no matter if you just started or have considerable experience, the SABIKI™ mode will help you catch the bait fish needed for the big catch. And the best thing, there is no need to install additional hardware or sensors. Just perform the automated software upgrade, and the SABIKI™ mode will be added to your NAVpilot-711C. SABIKI™ mode is only available on vessels with outboard engines.
