Furuno FAP3011 Control Head f/NavPilot 300

The Furuno FAP3011 Control Head for NavPilot 300 is a dedicated remote command station for mariners running Furuno's industry-leading NavPilot 300 autopilot system. Built for serious boaters who demand redundant control options and distributed helm station access, this control head allows you to operate your autopilot from multiple locations aboard your vessel. Whether commanding from the flying bridge, upper helm, or backup station, the FAP3011 delivers the same responsive interface and tactical precision you expect from professional-grade marine electronics.

This control head integrates seamlessly into your NavPilot 300 system via NMEA 2000 network architecture, enabling up to three independent control heads on a single autopilot installation. The compact form factor—measuring 8 by 3 by 16 inches and weighing just 2.8 pounds—fits flush into tight console spaces without sacrificing functionality. The hardwired N2K connection ensures reliable, low-latency command transmission across your vessel's marine network, eliminating communication delays that matter when executing precise course corrections in heavy seas or tight maneuvering situations.

Experienced skippers installing NavPilot 300 systems on larger sportfishing vessels, trawlers, and offshore cruisers benefit most from multi-station control architecture. The FAP3011 is ideal for boats running watch rotations, enabling each helmsman to command the autopilot from his preferred station without reconfiguring the main pilot unit. Installation requires NMEA 2000 backbone connectivity and familiarity with marine network wiring; contact Furuno directly for configuration support or technical concerns, as this product requires manufacturer authorization for warranty service.
