It utilizes a self-learning and easy adaptive software algorithm, and plays the definitive role in course-keeping capability. NavPilot dynamically adjusts crucial parameters during navigation, such as vessel trim, speed, draught, tide and wind effects, dead band, weather. These factors are stored in system memory and constantly optimized to make the NavPilot more flexible.

SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features provide Efficient and Effective Helm Steering Control  SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features provide a exceptional interface to the boat’s hydraulic hand steering system, providing unrivalled comfort and control of steering directly from any manual helm on the vessel.

Self-learning and adaptive software

From the first dock-side setup through the last voyage you made, NavPilot continues to absorb your vessel's steering features, allowing for real-time, active adjustments to make the boat's steering effectively accurate. These modes significantly lessen steering effort and improve the safety of your autopilot.

The POWER ASSIST mode includes the SAFE HELM conception and offers speed-based, power assisted steering, signifigantly reducing manual helm exertion in manoeuvring situations. POWER ASSIST is a sole helm-activated assisted steering feature that can replace distinct electric and power-robbing, engine-driven power steering systems on many types of boats. POWER ASSIST reduces steering system difficulty and costs therefore increasing economy.

SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST modes will  need to have the optional FPS8 Power Steering Module and a compatible HRP Pumpset, and the required system software.

If you are interested in utilizing the SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST mode, we recommend that, when installing the NavPilot 700 Series Autopilot, the FPS8 Power Steering Module ( which is another option) is also purchased and installed in addition simultaneously, thus removing the need to re-plumb the hydraulic system and run additional connection cables in the future.

FishHunter mode

Findfish with your FURUNO sonar/sounder or find a bird target with your FURUNO radar and feed it to the NavPilot.  Fishhunter mode is an exclusive feature of FURUNO's NavPilot series. The NavPilot will activate the FishHunter mode to do square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral or figure-eight manoeuvres round the specified target at a user designated distance. This feature can also be used for Man Overboard Safety (MOB).
