Steering your boat straight the first time
and every time.

Here’s the scenario. You’re setting out for
your favorite destination, the sun is shining
and the sky is as blue as the sea. This is
the perfect time to let the NAVpilot steer you
straight to your waypoint and let you enjoy
the sun and the scenery. No matter if it is
a stormy day or a beautiful day, the NAVpilot
series is what you need to help you arrive at
your destination safely.

Self-learning and adaptive software.

Here is the key to how FURUNO has
revolutionized the autopilot marketplace with
the NAVpilot series. From the first dock-side
setup through the last voyage you made,
the NAVpilot continues to learn your vessel’s

steering
characteristics.
This allows for
dynamically
adjusting the boat's

steering for vessel

speed, trim, draft, tide

and wind effects, weather,

etc. These characteristics are

stored on the processor’s

memory where they are

continuously optimized to make the

NAVpilot more versatile.

Perfect for power, sail or work boats.

With a standard set of features unrivaled by
any other autopilot on the market,

the NAVpilot series is perfect for any vessel
from sailboats through powerboats and
everything in between. Features include
Auto Mode - one press of a button turns
the steering over to the NAVpilot to free you
to monitor your radar, chart plotter, etc.;
Advanced Auto Mode - utilizing automatic
ground tracking control to steer the vessel;
Nav Mode - track control system referenced
on a precision cross track error when
integrated with GPS navigator; and Wind
Mode - allows you to control your sailboat
while compensating for the effects of wind
and tide.

Fishing just got easier with the exclusive
FishHunter™

(For power boat only).

FishHunter 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 orbit, spiral
or figure eight maneuvers around the
specified target. This feature can also be
used for Man Overboard (MOB).

Safety notice:

Autopilot should not be used in congested
areas or around obstacles. Switch the
autopilot to manual mode whenever potential
danger is present. An autopilot is an aid to,
not a replacement for, an experienced
helmsman.
