Revolutionize Your Boating with Fantum Feedback Technology
Imagine effortless steering on your outboard boat without the hassle of traditional rudder feedback hardware. The Furuno NavPilot 300/PG autopilot system makes this a reality through its innovative Fantum Feedback system. This cutting-edge approach uses advanced GPS data and self-learning algorithms to virtually sense rudder position, delivering pinpoint accuracy across a wide speed range—from gentle trolling to high-speed cruises exceeding 60 knots.
Perfect for planing and semi-displacement vessels between 24 and 50 feet powered by one to four outboard engines, this autopilot simplifies installation while maximizing performance. Paired with the precise PG700 fluxgate compass sensor, it corrects for magnetic distortions, ensuring rock-solid heading data even in challenging conditions.
Intuitive Gesture Control for Hands-Free Freedom
Take command from anywhere on deck with the included Bluetooth Gesture Controller. Operating within a 10-meter range, it’s as simple as push, point, and release. Hold the button, aim toward your desired course, and let the autopilot handle the rest. This wireless freedom is a game-changer for solo sailors, anglers, or anyone multitasking on the water.
Whether you’re adjusting course mid-fish or navigating tight spots, the Gesture Controller integrates seamlessly, enhancing safety and convenience without cluttering your helm.
Versatile Navigation Modes Tailored to Your Adventure
The vibrant 4.1-inch color LCD display offers flexible 1-DIN mounting and supports up to three control heads for multi-station setups. Dive into specialized modes like:
SABIKI Mode: Drift astern confidently while the autopilot counters wind and current—ideal for sabiki rigs, jigging, or bottom fishing, letting you focus on the catch.
Fish Hunter: Circle your target with pre-set patterns: zigzag, orbit, figure-8, or spiral. Great for schooling fish or even man-overboard scenarios.
Highway, Auto, and Advanced Auto: Smooth route following with adaptive steering that learns your boat’s quirks.
Nav/Route Tracking: Follow waypoints effortlessly from integrated chartplotters.
Built-in simulator and slideshow help you master it all before hitting the water.
