Furuno NavPilot 711C-S w/Octopus Pump 7ci to 12ci
Furuno NavPilot 711C-S w/Octopus Pump 7ci to 12ci — Product description
Experience Effortless Navigation with Adaptive Precision
Imagine setting your course and truly kicking back while your boat holds steady against shifting winds, tides, and waves. The Furuno NavPilot 711C-S delivers this reality through its innovative self-learning algorithm that fine-tunes performance on the fly. It monitors real-time factors like your vessel's speed, trim, water depth variations, and environmental influences, storing these insights to refine steering over every trip. Paired with the robust Octopus pump tailored for rams from 7 to 12 cubic inches, this setup ensures smooth, reliable hydraulic response across a range of mid-sized boats.
Boat owners rave about how this autopilot transforms long passages or casual outings into stress-free adventures, minimizing fuel waste from constant corrections and letting you focus on the horizon—or the next catch.
Unlock Game-Changing Fishing Modes
For anglers, the NavPilot 711C-S shines with specialized modes that turn your electronics into a fishing powerhouse. Dive into FishHunter, where sonar-detected fish schools or radar-spotted bird flocks become the center of precision maneuvers. Circle, spiral, zigzag, or orbit at your chosen radius, keeping the action right in your strike zone. It's a lifesaver for man-overboard scenarios too, circling back automatically.
Then there's Sabiki Mode, a drift-master for outboard-powered vessels. Perfect for sabiki rigs, jigging, or bottom bouncing, it maintains a gentle astern drift so you can concentrate on hooking baitfish or trophies without wrestling the helm. No extra gear needed—just activate via software for seamless integration with your existing setup.
"Switching to Sabiki Mode felt like having an extra deckhand; my lines stayed perfectly positioned every drop."
Crystal-Clear Visibility in Any Light
The vibrant color LCD isn't just pretty—it's engineered for real-world boating. Sunlight pours in without washing out details during peak fishing hours, while night-friendly graphics preserve your dark-adapted vision for safe nighttime runs. Combined with intuitive controls, it keeps operations simple even in rough conditions.
Seamless Integration with Power Assist and Safe Helm
Why choose between manual feel and autopilot smarts? Link it to your hydraulic steering for Safe Helm and Power Assist modes. Safe Helm maintains autopilot precision from your existing wheel, while Power Assist dials in effort-saving boost based on speed—ideal for tight docking or heavy seas. This setup slashes complexity, cuts power draw, and boosts overall efficiency without bulky add-ons.

Why Boaters Trust This Autopilot for Everyday Wins
Beyond specs, it's about dependability. Furuno's heritage in marine tech means components withstand salt spray, vibrations, and years of use. Adaptive learning means it gets "smarter" with your boat's quirks, reducing wear on rams and steering gear. Whether chasing pelagics offshore or drifting reefs, it elevates safety, catches, and comfort—proving why seasoned captains swear by it.

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-S package includes PUMPOCT06-12
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.
