Furuno NavPilot 300 Yanmar VC10/BLV Package
Furuno NavPilot 300 Yanmar VC10/BLV Package — Product description
Revolutionize Your Boating with Seamless Steer-by-Wire Control
Imagine effortlessly maintaining course on your outboard-powered vessel, from slow trolling for trophy fish to cruising at high speeds over 60 knots. The Furuno NavPilot 300 tailored for Yanmar VC10 and 8LV systems delivers exactly that, blending cutting-edge adaptive learning with innovative feedback technology. This package eliminates the hassle of traditional rudder sensors, offering a cleaner install and superior precision for planing and semi-displacement boats between 24 and 50 feet with up to four engines.
Fantum Feedback: Precision Without the Complexity
At the heart of this autopilot lies Furuno's proprietary Fantum Feedback system. Unlike conventional setups that demand a bulky physical rudder reference unit, Fantum Feedback uses smart algorithms to virtually sense and adjust steering. This means fewer wires, no feedback arm cluttering your engine bay, and rock-solid course holding tailored to outboard dynamics. Boat owners report smoother turns, reduced wear on hydraulic components, and confidence-inspiring stability even in choppy conditions or strong crosswinds.
Adaptive Learning for Every Condition
The NavPilot 300 doesn't just steer—it learns. Over time, it fine-tunes its responses based on your boat's unique handling characteristics, sea state, and load. Whether you're battling currents during offshore runs or fine-tuning position over a reef, this autopilot adapts faster than any manual helm work, freeing you to enjoy the journey.
Gesture Controller: Steer from Anywhere Onboard
Wireless freedom meets intuitive control with the included Gesture Controller. Pair it via Bluetooth and command your autopilot from up to 10 meters away—perfect for casting lines from the bow or monitoring gear astern. Simply press and hold the button, point toward your target heading, and release. The system takes over instantly, ideal for solo anglers or family outings where you want eyes on the horizon, not the wheel.
Pro tip: Integrate it with a compatible heading sensor like the PG700 for pinpoint accuracy, ensuring your boat tracks true even when you're multitasking.
Versatile Modes for Fishing and Cruising Pros
The vibrant 4.1-inch color LCD display brings advanced modes to life, each designed for real-world boating demands:
- SABIKI™ Mode: Drift astern with automatic heading hold, countering wind and tide so you can jig or bottom fish without constant adjustments.
- Fish Hunter Mode: Lock onto sonar or radar targets and execute pro maneuvers—zig-zag, orbit, figure-eight, or spiral—at customizable distances. Doubles as a lifesaver for man-overboard scenarios.
- Highway, Auto, and Advanced Auto: Visual cues like a virtual road ahead simplify long hauls, with fish-finding patterns adding tactical edges for sportfishing tournaments.
Seamless Helm Integration
Pair Fish Hunter with your existing Furuno sonar for bird or bait ball chases, or radar for structure fishing. It's not just an autopilot; it's a fishing command center that turns prime spots into productive ones.
Streamlined Package for Quick Setup
This complete kit arrives ready for Yanmar VC10/8LV integration, including the FAP-3011 control unit, FAP3012 processor, GC-001 gesture controller, PG700 heading sensor, essential NMEA2000 connectors, terminators, and a dedicated Yanmar cable assembly. Skip the guesswork—everything syncs via plug-and-play NMEA2000, minimizing downtime and getting you back on the water faster.
Boat builders and retrofitters love how it interfaces directly with steer-by-wire systems, cutting installation time by up to 50% compared to legacy autopilots.

NavPilot 300 is not your ordinary Autopilot
The NavPilot 300 is a revolutionary autopilot. With Fantum Feedback, NavPilot outboard installations no longer require use of a physical rudder feedback unit. This results in a streamlined, simplified installation. Combined with Furuno's unique adaptive learning technology, NavPilot 300 provides unmatched outboard Autopilot performance. Fantum Feedback is designed for planing and semi-displacement outboard vessels from 24 to 50 feet, with one to four outboard engines, where it achieves precise course control from slow trolling to speeds of well over 60 knots.
Gesture Control - just push, point and shoot!
The Gesture Controller is a revolutionary and unique way to steer your boat remotely. By using Bluetooth signals, it is possible to control the Autopilot from anywhere on the boat within 10 meters. Just push, hold the button, point to the desired heading and release to let the Autopilot redirect the boat!
(Note: A Furuno PG700, SC33 or other compatible NMEA2000 vessel heading source is required.)
Versatile Display Modes on a vivid 4.1" Color LCD Display
The SABIKI™ mode lets the autopilot control while you are drifting astern, so you can focus on fishing instead of steering. Maintaining heading astern while compensating for wind and tide, SABIKI™ mode is uniquely tailored for Sabiki fishing, jigging and bottom fishing.
Other display modes include Furuno's Highway mode, Auto and Advanced Auto modes, and Fish Hunter mode, where one of four pre-programmed maneuvers can be performed around a specified target at a user selected distance. These include Zig-Zag, Orbit, Figure 8, or a Spiral maneuver. The Fish Hunter feature can also be used for Man Overboard (MOB).
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).
Furuno Fantum Feedback
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.
