Furuno Fantum Feedback – allows for no physical rudder feedback unit for a streamlined installation and precise course control
Furuno’s all-new “Fantum Feedback” NAVpilot software clears the path to a simplied installation, while also delivering enhanced steering control. With Fantum Feedback, NAVpilot outboard installations no longer require use of a physical rudder feedback unit.
Fantum Feedback is a menu-selectable feature available in the latest NAVpilot-700 series software. This new software was developed and extensively tested on a wide variety of outboard vessels with hydraulic steering and reversing pump control. Fantum Feedback achieves precise course control, from slow trolling speeds to high-speed cruising, utilizing a newly developed gain process, rather than traditional rudder angle based control.

Simplified activation set-up by on-screen wizard

Utilizes a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm
From the rst dock-side setup through the last voyage you made, NAVpilot continues to learn your vessel’s steering characteristics. This allows dynamic adjustments to the boat’s steering for vessel speed, trim, draft, tide and wind effects, weather, etc. These characteristics are stored in the processor’s memory where they are continuously optimized to make the NAVpilot more versatile. -
Optional revolutionary SAFE HELM and POWER ASSIST brings unrivaled steering control and comfort at the helm*
<SAFE HELM>
The SAFE HELM temporarily switches the NAVpilot to manual steering for a specied time interval, taking it out of an automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.) After the time interval has elapsed, SAFE HELM is deactivated and the previous automatic steering mode is restored.
<POWER ASSIST>
The POWER ASSIST is a unique helm-activated assisted steering feature that can augment and possibly replace separate electric and power-robbing, engine-driven power steering systems on many vessels. POWER ASSIST reduces steering system complexity and costs while increasing economy.* Required Options – HRP11 or HRP17 Pump and FPS8 Power Steering -
Selectable “Economy” and “Precision” Navigation Modes combine adaptive technology providing fuel and power savings of up to 2.5% or more.**
