Furuno NavPilot 711 Autopilot Control Unit

Overview Furuno NavPilot 711 Autopilot Control Unit

Furuno NavPilot 711 Autopilot Control Unit is a dedicated helm control head for Furuno autopilot systems. It gives the operator a direct interface for heading control, steering modes, and system status through High-Contrast Silver Bright LCD and Precision Rotary Dial and Push Buttons.

This type of unit is used at the main helm or secondary station where reliable manual access to autopilot functions is important. It is designed to work with NavPilot 700 / 711 Series Processors and networked navigation inputs.

Key Features

• Silver Bright LCD: The Furuno NavPilot 711 Control Unit is engineered for maximum readability, ensuring that your navigation data is clear from any angle, whether in the bright glare of the flybridge or the dim light of a cabin.
• Rotary Control Dial: The precision rotary knob allows for course adjustments and effortless menu navigation, providing a tactile experience that touchscreens cannot match in rough offshore environments.
• Adaptive Steering Integration: 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.
• One-Touch Operation: The intuitive button layout allows for “One-Touch” selection of STBY, AUTO, and NAV modes, ensuring you can quickly take control or hand over steering duties as the situation demands.
• NavNet Network Connectivity: The Furuno NavPilot 711 Control Unit is fully compatible with Furuno’s NMEA 2000 and CAN bus networks, allowing for effortless integration with GPS navigators, chartplotters, and high-speed heading sensors.

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.
