Furuno FAP3011 Control Head f/NavPilot 300

Description

Control a compatible NavPilot 300 system through the Furuno FAP3011 Control Head, a 4.1-inch high-brightness color LCD with dedicated autopilot buttons. The flush-mount unit connects to the NavPilot 300 processor through its CAN-bus network and supports 12V to 24V DC operating power. Its 115 mm by 115 mm face size, IP56 front-panel rating, and minus 15°C to 55°C operating range should be considered when selecting a helm mounting position.

Furuno NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 integration is specified, while Bluetooth supports the compatible GC-001 gesture controller. The control head uses heading, drive, and rudder-reference information from the complete NavPilot 300 system rather than providing those components independently. The package includes the FAP3011 unit, sun cover, and installation kit.

Key Specifications of the Furuno FAP3011 Control Head

• The 4.1-inch high-brightness color LCD provides the documented NavPilot 300 autopilot display and dedicated-button control interface.
• CAN-bus networking connects the control head to a compatible NavPilot 300 processor, supporting 12V to 24V DC system operation.
• Flush mounting accommodates a 115 mm by 115 mm control face, requiring suitable panel space and cable clearance behind it.
• An IP56 front-panel rating and minus 15°C to 55°C operating range define the stated environmental parameters for the display.
• NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 integration supports the documented Furuno multifunction-display connection within a compatible vessel network.
• Bluetooth supports the compatible GC-001 gesture controller, requiring a properly configured NavPilot 300 processor and system installation.
• The package includes the FAP3011 control unit, sun cover, and installation kit for the documented control-head components.

System Integration and Control

This Furuno control head is part of a NavPilot 300 autopilot system, not a standalone autopilot or heading sensor. The processor supplies heading, steering-drive, and rudder-reference functions as part of the full installation. The FAP3011 connects through the CAN bus and should be mounted where the 115 mm square face, rear clearance, cable route, and helm access are appropriate.

Furuno identifies a self-learning and calibration wizard as the stated commissioning method, and the control head supports Sabiki Mode where the compatible NavPilot 300 system is configured for that function. Verify processor compatibility, NavNet integration needs, GC-001 remote requirements, NMEA 2000 network arrangement, and complete autopilot hardware before installation.

Why Choose the Furuno FAP3011 Control Head

The Furuno FAP3011 Control Head adds a 4.1-inch high-brightness color control interface to a compatible NavPilot 300 system. Buyers can compare its CAN-bus connection, 12V to 24V DC support, flush-mount 115 mm square format, IP56 front-panel rating, dedicated buttons, NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 integration, Bluetooth support for GC-001, and included sun cover with other autopilot control-head options.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm that the vessel has a compatible Furuno NavPilot 300 processor before selecting this control head. Plan the 115 mm square flush-mount opening, rear clearance, CAN-bus connection, 12V to 24V DC supply, network arrangement, and cable routing before installation. Use the installation kit as documented and follow Furuno instructions for processor integration, display configuration, calibration, and optional GC-001 controller pairing.

Warranty and Support

Furuno warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for the FAP3011. Mulmarine.com can help you review NavPilot 300 compatibility, CAN-bus wiring, flush-mount space, NavNet integration, GC-001 support, operating-voltage requirements, and the documented package contents before purchase. Review the applicable Furuno warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.

Before Ordering the Furuno FAP3011 Control Head

Confirm that your vessel has a compatible Furuno NavPilot 300 processor and that you need a dedicated flush-mount control head rather than a complete autopilot system. You should verify the 115 mm by 115 mm mounting space, rear clearance, CAN-bus route, 12V to 24V supply, processor capacity, NavNet TZtouch2 or TZtouch3 integration needs, GC-001 compatibility, and supplied installation-kit components before purchase.
