Key Features

• Fantum Feedback: This proprietary technology eliminates the need for a physical rudder feedback unit on many installations, utilizing advanced software logic to maintain precise course control.
• Self-Learning Adaptive Autopilot: The Furuno NavPilot 700 continuously learns your vessel’s unique steering characteristics and adjusts for tide, wind, and weather to provide the most efficient rudder movements.
• Exclusive Sabiki Mode for Anglers: Sabiki mode allows for hands-free trolling by automatically controlling the helm to maintain the vessel’s position and heading, which is essential for precise bait presentation and staying on the fish.
• Power Assist Steering: This feature provides smooth, boosted manual steering when you take the helm, significantly reducing operator fatigue during long passages or high-stress docking maneuvers.
• Day/Night Display Modes: The high-contrast display features specialized modes to maintain visibility under the midday sun and preserve the captain’s night vision during late-night voyages.

Applications

Suitable for vessels that benefit from automated steering during passages, route following, and fishing operations. It helps reduce helm fatigue while maintaining heading and track with less manual correction in wind, current, and changing sea states.

Common use cases include cruisers, sportfishing boats, and workboats that want predictable course keeping and faster access to specialized steering modes.
