The Furuno NavPilot 711C Second Control Unit brings full autopilot command to a second helm station, pairing a color day/night graphic display with self-learning adaptive software that continuously refines steering parameters — speed, trim, draught, tide, wind, dead band, and more — storing and optimizing them throughout every voyage. FishHunter mode lets you lock onto a sonar fish target or radar bird target and execute square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral, or figure-eight patterns at a user-selected distance, and the same mode doubles as a Man Overboard (MOB) function. The unit installs into a single-DIN opening and connects via dual NMEA 2000 and Furuno CAN bus interfaces for plug-and-play integration with NavNet 3D, FI-50 instruments, and compatible navigation equipment.

Specifications:

• Second control unit for NavPilot 711C, single-DIN form factor
• Color day/night graphic display with sunlight-viewable performance and low-impact night mode
• Self-learning and adaptive software algorithm: dynamically adjusts vessel speed, trim, draught, tide, wind effects, dead band, and weather parameters; stores and continuously optimizes settings in system memory
• Selectable Economy and Precision navigation modes — adaptive technology delivers fuel and power savings of up to 2.5% or more in Economy mode
• Precision XTE accuracy: within 18 feet
• FishHunter mode: square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral, and figure-eight maneuvers around a sonar fish or radar bird target at user-selected distance; also functions as MOB
• Optional SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST features (available via upcoming software update) provide speed-based, helm-activated assisted steering through the vessel's hydraulic hand steering system — requires optional FPS8 Power Steering Module and compatible HRP Pumpset
• Dual NMEA 2000 network interface plus Furuno CAN bus interface for system isolation and redundancy
• On-screen setup wizard for simplified activation
• Compatible with inboard and outboard powerboats and sailboats
• Plug-and-play CAN bus interface; integrates with NavNet 3D and FI-50 Instrument series
