Furuno NavPilot 300 Yamaha HelmMaster Package — Product description

Unlock Precision Steering Without the Hassle

Imagine heading out on the water with full confidence that your boat stays on course, whether you're trolling for baitfish or cruising at high speeds. The NavPilot 300-HM transforms how outboard boaters handle steering, especially when paired with Yamaha's Helm Master system. Its standout Fantum Feedback technology eliminates the need for a traditional rudder feedback unit, making setup quicker and cleaner. This adaptive system learns your boat's behavior over time, delivering pinpoint accuracy across a wide speed range—from gentle trolling to over 60 knots on planing hulls between 24 and 50 feet long with up to four engines.

For weekend anglers and serious offshore adventurers alike, this autopilot means less fatigue and more focus on what matters: the fish, the horizon, or simply enjoying the ride. It compensates for waves, wind, and currents smarter than ever, thanks to Furuno's proven engineering in marine navigation.

Gesture Controller: Steer with a Point and Click

Freedom on the deck starts with the innovative Gesture Controller. Connected via Bluetooth, it lets you command the autopilot from up to 10 meters away—no wires tethering you to the helm. The process is intuitive: press and hold the button, aim toward your target heading, and release. The system takes over seamlessly, ideal for repositioning during fishing or quick course corrections while scanning with binoculars.

Pair it with a reliable heading sensor like the included PG700 fluxgate compass, which features a built-in solid-state gyroscope for rock-steady performance even in rough seas. This setup shines for solo operators or anyone wanting hands-free control without compromising safety.

Tailored Modes for Every Boating Scenario

The vibrant 4.1-inch color LCD display packs versatile modes to match your adventure:

SABIKI Mode: Drift astern perfectly while sabiki rigging, jigging, or bottom fishing. It holds your stern-to-wind heading, battling currents and gusts so you can drop lines without constant adjustments.
Highway Mode: Visualizes your path like a car's GPS, with a clear deviation bar for easy monitoring.
Auto and Advanced Auto: Basic course-keeping evolves into proactive steering that anticipates turns and sea state changes.
Fish Hunter Mode: Circle hot spots effortlessly. Select a sonar mark or radar bird return, choose your radius, and pick from zigzag, orbit, figure-eight, or spiral patterns. It's a game-changer for staying over structure and doubles as a Man Overboard response.

These aren't just gimmicks—they're battle-tested tools that integrate smoothly with other Furuno gear, feeding real-time data from sounders or radars for automated maneuvers around promising targets.

Simplified Installation for Yamaha Helm Master Owners

Connecting to your Yamaha Helm Master steer-by-wire setup is straightforward with the included gateway and custom cables. No more drilling for feedback sensors or wrestling with complex wiring. The processor unit and multilink split cable handle the heavy lifting, ensuring compatibility with your digital helm. This plug-and-play approach saves hours during install, letting you hit the water sooner. Boaters report rock-solid reliability post-setup, with minimal calibration needed thanks to the self-learning algorithms.

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.
