The Furuno NAVpilot-711C autopilot professional is a revolutionary autopilot suitable for a wide variety of ships from small open boats to large yachts. Suitable as standalone autopilot or as part of a complete NAVnet navigation system. The compact control unit is perfectly readable even in bright sunlight. Unique self-learning and adaptive software keeps the ship perfectly on track because essential parameters are constantly being monitored. As a result, the NAVpilot-700 learns the ship's behavior on the basis of sailing speeds, trim, waves, tides and wind. The PHANTOM function eliminates the need for a physical rudder position indicator for outboard motors and stern drives. This simplifies installation considerably.

- SAFE HELM, the NAVpilot switches to manual control (for a certain time interval), thus removing it from the automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.). After the time interval has elapsed, SAFE HELM is deactivated and the previous automatic steering mode is restored.
POWER ASSIST provides an interface for a ship's hydraulic steering system for optimum steering comfort and control over steering directly from a manual rudder on the ship. These functions offer speed-dependent, power-assisted steering, reducing the manual work on board.
