Furuno NavPilot 300 engine packs are complete autopilot solutions that include the NavPilot 300 system plus the specific cables, gateways, and interface components needed to integrate with SeaStar Optimus 360, Yanmar VC10/8LV, or Yamaha Helm Master (systems not included). All packs use Fantum Feedback, eliminating a physical rudder feedback unit on outboard/sterndrive installations for simpler installs and improved steering control from slow trolling to speeds over 60 knots. Adaptive learning software, SABIKI astern-drift mode, and FishHunter target-tracking maneuvers make these packs ideal for advanced fishing and cruising setups.
