Furuno NavPilot 300/PG Autopilot System w/PG700 Sensor
Furuno NavPilot 300/PG Autopilot System w/PG700 Sensor — Product description
Revolutionize Your Boating with Fantum Feedback Technology
Imagine effortless steering on your outboard boat without the hassle of traditional rudder feedback hardware. The Furuno NavPilot 300/PG autopilot system makes this a reality through its innovative Fantum Feedback system. This cutting-edge approach uses advanced GPS data and self-learning algorithms to virtually sense rudder position, delivering pinpoint accuracy across a wide speed range—from gentle trolling to high-speed cruises exceeding 60 knots.
Perfect for planing and semi-displacement vessels between 24 and 50 feet powered by one to four outboard engines, this autopilot simplifies installation while maximizing performance. Paired with the precise PG700 fluxgate compass sensor, it corrects for magnetic distortions, ensuring rock-solid heading data even in challenging conditions.
Intuitive Gesture Control for Hands-Free Freedom
Take command from anywhere on deck with the included Bluetooth Gesture Controller. Operating within a 10-meter range, it's as simple as push, point, and release. Hold the button, aim toward your desired course, and let the autopilot handle the rest. This wireless freedom is a game-changer for solo sailors, anglers, or anyone multitasking on the water.
Whether you're adjusting course mid-fish or navigating tight spots, the Gesture Controller integrates seamlessly, enhancing safety and convenience without cluttering your helm.
Versatile Navigation Modes Tailored to Your Adventure
The vibrant 4.1-inch color LCD display offers flexible 1-DIN mounting and supports up to three control heads for multi-station setups. Dive into specialized modes like:
- SABIKI Mode: Drift astern confidently while the autopilot counters wind and current—ideal for sabiki rigs, jigging, or bottom fishing, letting you focus on the catch.
- Fish Hunter: Circle your target with pre-set patterns: zigzag, orbit, figure-8, or spiral. Great for schooling fish or even man-overboard scenarios.
- Highway, Auto, and Advanced Auto: Smooth route following with adaptive steering that learns your boat's quirks.
- Nav/Route Tracking: Follow waypoints effortlessly from integrated chartplotters.
Built-in simulator and slideshow help you master it all before hitting the water.

The coolest way to sail! Use NAVpilot 300? With the unique gesture controller, Fantum feedback steering and self-learning software, you will easily enjoy a brand new navigation level! SABIKI mode allows you to control the autopilot when moving backwards, so you can focus on fishing instead of steering. SABIKI mode is specially tailored for Sabiki fishing, boat jumping and sea fishing, and can move the heel slowly. SABIKI mode is only available on ships with outboard engines. After turning on the SABIKI mode, you only need to adjust the throttle to keep the direction unchanged. In order to maintain the same direction, it is not enough to simply reverse the engine and move it backward. The steering must be constantly adjusted to maintain direction. Compatible with EVC system NAVpilot series can be used with Volvo Penta IPS, Yamaha Helmet MasterTM, Yanmar 8LV engine system and Seastar Optimus360 joystick system. Volvo Penta IPS system (compatible with C, D or E Volvo Penta IPS drives) Yamaha Helm Master TM system Seastar Optimus360 joystick system Yanmar VC10 system (compatible with Yanmar 8VL and JC10) each time the ship goes on board, it learns and self-learns. When the adaptation software is sailing at sea, the software will understand the sea conditions and automatically calculate the best adjustments to achieve a smooth turn. FANTUM Feedback Furuno's "Fantum Feedback" NAVpilot software clears the way for simplified installation, while also providing enhanced steering control. With Fantum feedback, NAVpilot's outboard installation no longer requires the use of a physical servo feedback unit. Fantum Feedback is a menu selectable function available in the latest NAVpilot-300 and NAVpilot-700 series software. The software has been developed and extensively tested on various outboard ships with hydraulic steering and reversing pump control functions. Fantum Feedback uses a newly developed gain process to replace the traditional rudder angle control to achieve precise heading control from slow towing speed to high-speed cruise. Easy to install and system configuration based on intelligent network ・ NMEA2000 certified waterproof processing unit (IP55) and control unit (IP56) safety rudder and power-assisted safety rudder The safety rudder temporarily switches NAVpilot to manual operation within a specified time interval. POWER ASSIST reduces the complexity and cost of the steering system while improving fuel economy. POWER ASSIST is a unique steering gear activated auxiliary steering function, which can enhance and possibly replace many independent power steering systems driven by electricity, robbery and engines on many ships. POWER ASSIST reduces the complexity and cost of the steering system while improving economy. *Multiple display modes that require FPS8 power steering module NAVpilot-300 provides multiple display modes, with user-friendly menus and graphics (digital or analog), you can get all the necessary data you need. NAVpilot-300 also has a day/night graphic display function, which can provide perfect visibility at any time. Navigation mode NavNet TZtouch2 full control (V6.1 coming soon) NavNet TZtouch2 v6.1 or later software allows full control of NAVpilot-300. Users can not only change the mode or adjust the course, but also change the installation settings, function parameters and use the Fish Hunter mode. Using NavNet TZtouch 2 MDF (TZTL12F/15F and TZT2BB) as the main control unit, the user can fully control the autopilot. According to your preference, you can display NAVpilot-300 controls in two ways on NavNet TZtouch2 MFD. There can be a side data panel on the left side of the screen, which you can quickly slide in and out by swiping with your finger. This is ideal when you want to use full screen or bidirectional split screen for other functions. Another option is to display NAVpilot-300 controls in the "Instrument" window on a quarter of the screen. Both methods can easily and intuitively control the autopilot.
