Furuno NavPilot 300PG Autopilot Package with Fluxgate Heading Sensor – NAVPILOT 300/PG

Furuno NavPilot 300PG Autopilot Package with Fluxgate Heading Sensor – NAVPILOT 300/PG

The NavPilot 300PG includes all the components of the NAVPILOT 300 and a PG700 Fluxgate Compass Heading Sensor with magnetic field distortion correction, providing highly accurate and stable heading information.

Features:

The Furuno PG700 Fluxgate Magnetic Heading Sensor with the enhanced stability of a solid-state rate gyroscope provides a stable and accurate heading for your CAN bus devices. Automatic magnetic field distortion correction provides highly accurate and stable readouts of your ship’s heading. The sensor detects terrestrial magnetism and produces compass data in NMEA2000 format to Furuno CAN bus devices.

Typical applications include true radar echo trail and true motion, autopilots, video plotters, scanning sonars and more. These sophisticated components are contained within a rugged, compact case. The supplied L-bracket allows for flexible installation. Unique design elements make the PG700 virtually maintenance-free and easy to install.

The Furuno NavPilot 300 is a revolutionary autopilot that offers Versatile Display Modes on a vivid, 4.1″ color LCD display.

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, and provides precise course control from slow trolling to speeds of well over 60 knots.

Gesture Control Unit: 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 32 feet (10 meters). Just push, hold the button, point to the desired heading and release to let the Autopilot redirect the boat!

The SABIKI™ mode lets the autopilot control while you are drift fishing 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 style fishing, jigging and bottom fishing. Other display modes include Furuno’s Highway mode, Auto and Advanced Auto modes, and Fish Hunter mode, which allows one of four pre-programmed maneuvers to 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).

Safe Helm function temporarily switches the NavPilot to manual steering for a specified time interval.

Power Assist reduces steering system complexity and costs while increasing fuel efficiency. Power Assist is a unique, helm-activated assisted steering feature that can augment and possibly replace separate electric and power-robbing, engine-driven power steering systems on many vessels.

Put more fish in the boat with high-precision FishHunter™ Drive

A Furuno and Suzuki partnership delivers new FishHunter™ Drive features leveraging Suzuki’s Precision Control, which automatically adjusts tilt and trim at designated engine RPM. FishHunter™ Drive features are available on the NavPilot 300 with a range of Suzuki outboards outfitted with both hydraulic steering and Dometic Optimus Electronics steering systems, including the DF140BG, DF115BG, DF150AP, DF175AP, DF200AP, DF250AP, DF300AP, DF300B, DF325A, and DF350A.

With Speed Control, the boat will run at a preset speed, adjusting engine RPM as needed to account for changes in wind and tide to maintain a constant speed.

Route Smoothing™ decreases the speed of turns as the boat approaches waypoints while navigating an active route. If the boat speed is too fast when approaching a turn, the boat can overshoot the waypoint, resulting in an undesirable deviation.

Point Lock™ maintains a fixed boat position by controlling the rudder and throttle, countering the effects of wind and current which are constantly working to move the boat. Point Lock™ is an invaluable tool for fishing a wreck or reef, and is also for boaters who occasionally have to wait for a bridge to open so they can pass.*

SABIKI™ Lock is designed for fishermen and takes advantage of the SABIKI™ fishing mode available with the NavPilot 300 Autopilot. With Furuno’s SABIKI™ mode, the helm is steered automatically by the NavPilot to maintain vessel position while the angler needs only to adjust the throttle to maintain a fixed position. FishHunter™ Drive’s new SABIKI™ Lock expands upon this functionality by controlling both the rudder and throttle to maintain vessel heading, freeing the angler to focus 100% on jigging and other vertical fishing.

 * Point Lock feature requires a Rudder Reference Unit (RRU) or Dometic Steering with built-in RRU

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
*FishHunter mode and NavPilot 300’s FishHunter Drive for Suzuki Outboards are different features with their own requirements

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.
