Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot is a handheld marine autopilot system designed for operators who want full steering control away from a fixed helm keypad. It combines portable control with Furuno adaptive steering features and NMEA 2000 networking for flexible installation on working and recreational boats.
Overview Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot
Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot stands out because the control unit is designed for mobile use rather than fixed-mount-only operation. That makes it useful when the skipper wants to manage autopilot functions from different positions on the vessel while still benefiting from Furuno course-keeping logic and SAFE HELM compatibility.
The handheld control concept allows autopilot operation from different positions on board instead of one fixed console.
Key Features
- Adaptive steering logic is intended to keep the system responsive to changing sea conditions and vessel behavior.
- SAFE HELM compatibility is part of the product positioning for integration with Furuno steering features.
- Dual NMEA 2000 integration supports use within a broader networked electronics package.
- The system suits operators who need mobility around the cockpit, deck, or enclosed helm while retaining autopilot command.
Applications
- Managing autopilot functions from multiple onboard positions on cruising boats, fishing boats, and workboats.
- Upgrading a vessel that benefits from Furuno adaptive steering and network integration but does not want a fixed-only controller.
- Supporting skippers who need course adjustments while moving between helm and working areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot
What role does Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot play in a marine steering setup?
Furuno NavPilot 720 Autopilot is designed for skippers who want autopilot control away from one fixed keypad position. Its handheld concept lets the operator manage heading changes and steering functions from different locations on board while still using Furuno adaptive autopilot features.
How does the handheld design help on board?
The portable control approach allows autopilot commands to be handled from more than one working position, which is useful on recreational and working boats. It suits skippers who do not want every course change tied to a fixed helm station.
What networking or integration support is available?
The product information lists dual nmea 2000 integration together with SAFE HELM compatible, which helps this handheld autopilot fit into a wider electronics package. That makes the system better suited to flexible onboard control rather than isolated operation from a single station.
Where does this handheld autopilot make the most sense on board?
This handheld design is useful when the skipper needs autopilot access from different parts of the boat, such as the cockpit, deck, or enclosed helm. It is especially relevant on working and recreational boats where fixed-position control can be limiting.
