No. The NavPilot 300 uses Furuno’s Fantum Feedback technology, which allows the autopilot to steer accurately without the need for a physical rudder feedback sensor.
This system is specifically engineered for outboard-powered vessels ranging from 24 to 50 feet in length.
The included GC-001 Gesture Controller connects via Bluetooth, allowing you to make steering adjustments by simply tilting or moving the remote. It provides a convenient, hands-free way to control your heading from anywhere on the boat.
Sabiki Mode is a specialized setting that maintains the boat's heading while drifting. It is designed to keep the vessel in a steady position, allowing you to focus on your fishing lines rather than constantly correcting the helm.
The system features NMEA 2000 network compatibility, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of marine electronics and select Furuno displays.
