AUTOPILOT Model NAVpilot-711C

Features

• Perfect for inboard or outboard power boats and sail boats

• Yamaha Helm Master™, Yanmar, and Seaster VCS compatible

  The NAVpilot series have the capability to work with Yamaha Helm Master^TM, Yanmar 8LV engine systems and Seastar Optimus360 Joystick system.
  
  
  Yamaha Helm Master^TM system*
  
  
  Seastar Optimus360 Joystick system**
  
  
  Yanmar VC10 System**
  (compatible with Yanmar 8VL and JC10)
  
  *Requires the optional IF-700IPS for the NAVpilot-300/711C
  ** Requires the optional IF-NMEA2000 for the NAVpilot-300/711C

• Introducing “SABIKI mode” for the NAVpilot-711C

  With the brand new SABIKI mode your NAVpilot-711C has just become even more capable than before. SABIKI mode lets the autopilot take control while you are drifting astern, so you can focus on fishing instead of steering. Moving astern at a slow pace the SABIKI mode is uniquely tailored for sabiki fishing, jigging and bottom fishing.
  
  SABIKI mode is only available on vessels with outboard engines.
  
  

• Furuno Fantum Feedback - allows for no physical rudder feedback unit for a streamlined installation and precise course control

  Furuno's "Fantum Feedback" NAVpilot software clears the path to a simplified installation, while also delivering enhanced steering  control. With Fantum Feedback, NAVpilot outboard installations no longer require use of physical rudder feedback unit.
  
  Fantum Feedback is a menu-selectable feature available in the NAVpilot-711C software. This software was developed and extensively tested on a wide variety of outboard vessels with hydraulic steering and reversing pump control. Fantum Feedback achieves precise course control, from slow trolling speeds to high-speed cruising, utilizing a newly developed gain process, rather than traditional rudder angle based control.

• Simplified activation set-up by on-screen wizard

• Optional revolutionary SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST brings unrivaled steering control and comfort at the helm*

  <SAFE HELM>
  The SAFE HELM temporarily switches the NAVpilot to manual steering for a specied time interval, taking it out of an automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.) After the time interval has elapsed, SAFE HELM is deactivated and the previous automatic steering mode is restored.
  <POWER ASSIST>
  The 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. POWER ASSIST reduces steering system complexity and costs while increasing economy.
  
  * Required Options - HRP11 or HRP17 Pump and FPS8 Power Steering

• Utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm

  From the first dock-side setup through the last voyage you made, NAVpilot continues to learn your vessel's steering characteristics. This allows dynamic adjustments to the boat's steering for vessel speed, trim, draft, tide and wind effects, weather, etc. These characteristics are stored in the processor's memory where they are continuously optimized to make the NAVpilot more versatile.

• Selectable "Economy" and "Precision" Navigation Modes combine adaptive technology providing fuel and power savings of up to 2.5% or more.**

  ** Based on Furuno testing and "Scenarios for a Clean Energy Future 2000” - U.S. Department of Energy (www.ornl.gov/sci/eere/cef)

• "Precision" provides tighter course keeping, within 0.01 NM of the set course

• Bright & Clear Display

  Various display modes are available, allowing you to customize the data to suit your own preferences with either digital or analog graphics.
  
  The NAVpilot-711C features a color day/night graphic display, giving you much better sunlight viewability during the day, while not affecting your night vision when the sun goes down.

• Simple one-touch mode selection enables flexible steering and course control

  Furuno's NAVpilot-711C is designed to match the NavNet TZtouch3, NavNet TZtouch2, FI-70 Instrument and other navigation equipment.
  
  Autopilot control available from NavNet TZtouch3/TZtouch2/GP-1871F/GP-1971F.
  
  
  
  The “Plug and Play” CAN bus interface allows for easy installation and exceptional interface ability. The diagrams below show typical installations for power and sail boats.

• Defferent mode variations

  

• FishHunter

  The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter 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).
