Furuno NAVPILOT300 Autopilot With PG700 and PUMPOCT16-12

The Furuno NAVPILOT300 Autopilot is a game - changer. With Fantum Feedback, it simplifies the installation for outboard and sterndrive boats as there's no need for a physical rudder feedback unit. This autopilot combines with Furuno's adaptive learning technology to offer top - notch performance. It's suitable for planing and semi - displacement outboard vessels from 24 to 50 feet with 1 - 4 outboard engines, ensuring precise course control from slow trolling to over 60 knots. The NAVPILOT 300/PG - M comes with a 1.6L pumpset for multi - cylinder steering systems and a PG700 Fluxgate Compass Heading Sensor that corrects magnetic field distortion, giving highly accurate and stable heading info. The Gesture Controller allows you to steer your boat remotely within 10 meters via Bluetooth. The SABIKI™ mode is perfect for fishing, letting the autopilot take over when drifting astern. Other display modes like Highway, Auto, Advanced Auto, and Fish Hunter offer various functions. The Fish Hunter mode can perform different maneuvers around a target and is useful for MOB situations. Optional SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features interface with the hydraulic hand - steering system, reducing steering effort and enhancing safety. POWER ASSIST also cuts down on system complexity and costs.

Using the Furuno NAVPILOT300 Autopilot is easy. First, install all the components in the box as per the instructions. When using the Gesture Controller, make sure your boat is within 10 meters. Just press and hold the button, point to the desired heading, and then release to let the autopilot take over. For fishing, activate the SABIKI™ mode when drifting astern so you can focus on your catch. The Fish Hunter mode can be used when you find a target with your FURUNO sonar or radar. Select the desired maneuver and distance, and the autopilot will do the rest. As for maintenance, keep the components clean and dry. Check the connections regularly to ensure they are secure. If you use the optional SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features, monitor the hydraulic system for any leaks. If you encounter any issues, refer to the user manual or contact Furuno's customer support.
