- Self-Learning Adaptive Software: The control unit interfaces with the NavPilot processor to continuously learn your vessel’s unique steering characteristics, automatically adjusting for speed, trim, and weather effects.
- SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST Modes: Safe Helm allows for immediate manual override by simply turning the wheel, while Power Assist provides a boosted, effortless steering feel that significantly reduces operator fatigue during long passages.
- NavNet Network Integration: The unit is fully compatible with Furuno NavNet 3D, TZtouch, and TZtouch2 systems, allowing for high-speed data sharing and waypoint synchronization across your entire marine electronics suite.

Applications
Intended for helm stations where operators need direct access to standby, auto, and navigation steering modes. It is useful as a primary control head, replacement unit, or added station on vessels already equipped with a compatible NavPilot processor.
Typical installations include cruisers, fishing boats, and workboats where quick manual input, clear status display, and reliable control in rough conditions matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furuno NavPilot 700 Autopilot Control Unit
What is Furuno NavPilot 700 Autopilot Control Unit designed to do?
Furuno NavPilot 700 Autopilot Control Unit is a dedicated helm control head with a high-resolution color graphics lcd that gives direct access to heading, steering modes, and system status. It is meant for compatible Furuno NavPilot installations where operators want a clear, purpose-built autopilot interface at the main helm or an added station.
How does this unit help with helm operation?
This control unit is built for direct, tactile use at the helm, using tactile rotary dial and push buttons instead of menu-heavy multifunction screens. That makes heading changes, mode selection, and status checks easier to manage when the boat is moving or sea conditions are less settled.
What kind of display and visibility does this control head offer?
This unit uses High-Resolution Color Graphics LCD, giving operators a clear view of heading, mode status, and other key autopilot information. The dedicated screen format is practical for everyday helm use because it keeps core steering data visible without relying on a multifunction display page.
Can this control head be used as a main or additional station?
Yes. The product description specifically positions this unit for a main helm or an added station in compatible NavPilot installations, which is helpful when owners want dedicated autopilot access at more than one control position on board.
