Furuno FAP3011 Control Head f/NavPilot 300

Enhance your boating experience with the Furuno FAP3011 control head, a reliable extension for the NavPilot 300 autopilot system. Designed for boaters who demand precision and convenience, this second-station controller lets you manage autopilot functions from multiple helm positions, whether you're switching between flybridge and lower helm or outfitting a larger vessel for family cruises or serious offshore fishing.

Furuno's engineering shines through in components built to withstand saltwater spray, relentless UV exposure, and the constant vibration of open-water passages. Unlike basic remotes, the FAP3011 delivers full control over steering modes, heading adjustments, and system status—keeping you in command without compromising the core system's performance.

Why Add a Second Control Head to Your NavPilot 300?

Multi-station setups transform how you navigate. Picture this: docking in tight marinas from the cockpit while maintaining autopilot oversight from the salon, or monitoring course holds during night watches from an alternate station. The FAP3011 integrates seamlessly via NMEA 2000 (N2K), supporting up to three heads on a single system. This flexibility is ideal for center consoles, sportfishers, or yachts where accessibility matters most.

Standout Performance in Real-World Conditions

• Seamless Integration: Connects effortlessly to your existing NavPilot 300 via N2K backbone, mirroring all primary functions without lag or complexity.
• Rugged Durability: Constructed with marine-grade materials that resist corrosion and hold up in extreme weather, from pounding waves to scorching sun.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive buttons and clear display for quick adjustments—dial in dodges, engage auto modes, or review GPS waypoints on the fly.
• Space-Saving Design: Compact footprint suits flush-mount or surface installs, blending into any console without clutter.

Streamlined Setup for Confident Boaters

Installation mirrors Furuno's commitment to simplicity: drop it into your N2K network, power it up, and calibrate alongside your primary unit. No need for custom wiring harnesses or proprietary tools—just standard marine connectors and straightforward configuration through the NavPilot menu. Boaters report setups taking under an hour, minimizing downtime and getting you back on the water faster.

Boost Safety and Enjoyment Onboard

With duplicate controls, skip risky helm dashes during maneuvers. Families appreciate the added oversight from indoor stations, while pros value redundancy on long hauls. Paired with NavPilot 300's adaptive steering algorithms, the FAP3011 helps maintain steady courses through chop, reducing fatigue and enhancing overall vessel control.

Long-Term Reliability Backed by Furuno

Every FAP3011 undergoes rigorous testing in simulated harsh environments, ensuring it performs when it counts. Regular firmware updates via N2K keep it current with NavPilot enhancements, while simple cleaning routines preserve its responsive touchscreen and keys.
