Furuno NavPilot 300/PG – Autopilot System with PG700 Sensor
Coastal powerboats navigate choppy inshore waters with this Furuno NavPilot 300 marine autopilot, utilizing a PG700 fluxgate sensor and Fantum Feedback algorithms to deliver 10A continuous drive output across NMEA 2000 networks at 12V/24V.
- PG700 fluxgate sensor ensures 0.5-degree heading accuracy
- Fantum Feedback eliminates physical rudder transducers
- Bluetooth controller enables wireless gesture steering
- IP56 housing protects against harsh sea spray
- NMEA 2000 backbone connects marine MFDs

Description
The Furuno NavPilot 300/PG is an autopilot package for compatible hydraulic-steered powerboats, including suitably configured outboard and inboard installations. It combines the NavPilot 300 control unit and processor with the PG700 rate-compensated heading sensor and wireless gesture controller. A compatible reversible hydraulic pump, steering hardware, and vessel-specific hydraulic installation components must be selected separately.
The system operates from 12V or 24V DC and provides 10A continuous motor-drive output with up to 20A for five seconds. It supports NMEA 2000 and CAN-bus connections, uses Bluetooth LE for the gesture controller, and offers Furuno Fantum Feedback on suitable installations. Fantum Feedback may reduce the need for a physical rudder-feedback unit, but feedback requirements must be verified for the actual steering system.
Key Specifications
- Furuno NavPilot 300 autopilot package with PG700 rate-compensated heading sensor.
- Includes NavPilot 300 control unit, processor, PG700 sensor, gesture controller, and system cables.
- Requires a separately selected compatible reversible hydraulic pump and hydraulic installation hardware.
- Supports 12V or 24V DC systems.
- Provides 10A continuous motor-drive output and up to 20A output for five seconds.
- Uses a 4.1-inch 320 by 240 QVGA color TFT control display.
- Supports NMEA 2000, CAN-bus, Bluetooth LE gesture control, Safe Helm input, and standby-switch connections.
- The control head is IP56-rated, the processor is IP55-rated, and the gesture controller is rated IP65/IP67.
System Integration
This is not a complete hydraulic steering system. Select a reversible pump based on the vessel’s hydraulic-cylinder volume, steering-system pressure, hose and fitting standards, desired hardover time, and the processor’s 10A continuous output limit. The PG700 provides heading information, but it does not directly measure rudder angle.
The system supports Auto, Dodge, Non-Follow-Up, Turn, Navigation, and FishHunter functions when the required external data is available. Navigation functions require compatible GPS or chartplotter data on the network. The wireless gesture controller has a nominal communication range of up to 10 m in open conditions and uses two AAA batteries.
Installation Considerations
Mount the control display at the helm, install the processor in a dry protected location, and locate the PG700 away from magnetic interference, high-current wiring, engines, speakers, batteries, and vibration. Use marine-grade wiring and suitable circuit protection for the selected pump. Confirm steering direction, hydraulic integrity, feedback method, heading alignment, and manual-helm operation before completing Furuno dockside setup and sea-trial calibration.
Before Ordering
Confirm compatible hydraulic steering, selected reversible pump with drive demand within 10A continuous and 20A peak capacity, cylinder volume, system pressure, required hoses and fittings, 12V or 24V supply, PG700 sensor location, NMEA 2000 network, CAN-bus requirement where applicable, Fantum Feedback or physical-feedback requirement, display mounting space, and complete installation components before purchase.
