Furuno NavPilot 711C-M w/Octopus Pump 12ci to 23ci
Furuno NavPilot 711C-M w/Octopus Pump 12ci to 23ci — Product description
Imagine cruising across open waters without constantly gripping the wheel, your boat holding a steady course while you scan the horizon for the next big catch or simply soak in the scenery. The Furuno NavPilot 711C-M, paired with the robust Octopus Pump for rams from 12 to 23 cubic inches, turns that vision into reality. This hydraulic autopilot system stands out by learning your boat's unique behaviors over time, adapting to everything from shifting winds to changing loads for smoother, more precise steering than traditional setups.
Adaptive Learning for Superior Course Keeping
What sets this NavPilot apart is its self-tuning software that evolves with every outing. It monitors factors like your vessel's speed, trim, water depth variations, tidal currents, and even crosswinds, storing these insights to refine its performance. Boaters often report fewer corrections needed compared to older autopilots, reducing helm fatigue on long passages. Whether you're dodging choppy conditions or threading through tight channels, it maintains heading with minimal rudder movement, saving wear on your hydraulic system.
FishHunter Mode: Revolutionize Your Fishing Game
Spot a school of baitfish on your Furuno sounder or a flock of birds on radar? Activate FishHunter mode to circle the target automatically in patterns like squares, zigzags, orbits, spirals, or figure-eights at your chosen radius. It's a game-changer for trolling or live baiting, and doubles as a precise Man Overboard response. Note that a Rudder Reference Unit (included) is essential for full FishHunter functionality on this model, ensuring pinpoint accuracy even in rough seas.
Sabiki Mode: Effortless Drifting for Serious Anglers
For outboard-powered boats, Sabiki mode takes bottom fishing, jigging, and sabiki rigs to the next level. It holds your vessel stern-to-wind or current at a controlled slow drift, freeing your hands for rods and reels. No extra sensors required—just a simple software update unlocks this feature. Anglers love how it maintains position without constant throttle tweaks, letting you focus on hooking that limit of baitfish for the day's big game pursuit.
Crystal-Clear Display for Day or Night
The vibrant color LCD shines under direct sunlight, with customizable day and night palettes that preserve your night vision. Larger icons and intuitive menus make adjustments a breeze, even with gloves on or in bumpy conditions. Pair it with multifunction displays for seamless integration, keeping all your nav data in one glance.
Powerful Hydraulic Pump for Reliable Response
Matched with the 1.6L Octopus Pump (delivering 1,600cc/min at 12V), this package suits boats with multi-cylinder rams in the 12-23ci range. It provides quick, authoritative steering without lag, ideal for heavier displacement hulls or those with larger rudders. The pump's efficient design minimizes power draw, preserving battery life during extended trips.
Seamless Integration and Easy Setup
Designed for straightforward retrofits, it connects with NMEA 2000 networks, Furuno sensors, and popular chartplotters. The included Fluxgate sensor with built-in gyro offers rock-solid heading data, while the processor unit handles the brains. Boaters transitioning from manual hydraulic steering appreciate the plug-and-play nature, often up and running in a weekend with basic tools.
Complete Package for Peace of Mind
- Control unit with responsive keypad and jog dial
- Processor unit optimized for the 700 series
- Rudder Reference Unit for precise feedback
- PG700 fluxgate compass with 6m cable for stable headings
- 1.6L Octopus Pump tailored for your ram size
This all-in-one kit minimizes guesswork, delivering pro-level autopilot performance right out of the box.
Frequently Asked Questions

Kick back, relax and let NavPilot steer you to your destination
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.
The NavPilot 711C-M package includes 1.6L pumpset for boats with multiple-cylinder steering systems.
Integrate your helm with NavPilot's FishHunter mode
FishHunter mode is a unique feature of FURUNO’s NavPilot series. Find a fish target with your FURUNO sonar/sounder or 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 Fish Hunter mode on NavPiot 711C/OB models
Beautiful & bright color LCD display
The new NavPilot 711C features a color day/night graphic display, offering much better sunlight viewability during the day while not affecting your night vision when the sun goes down.
Sabiki Mode for NavPilot 711C
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.
