Furuno NAVpilot 700 Series Processor Unit

The Furuno NAVpilot 700 Series Processor Unit (FAP7002) is the core control module for one of the marine industry's most respected autopilot systems. This processor handles navigation data integration, course calculations, and steering command execution—making it essential for any vessel running the NAVpilot 700 autopilot platform. Whether you're navigating coastal waters or offshore passages, this processor unit delivers the computational backbone that transforms raw GPS and heading data into precise, hands-free steering.

Built by Furuno—a Japanese manufacturer with over 70 years of marine electronics expertise—the FAP7002 processor is engineered for reliability in salt-air environments and rough offshore conditions. The unit weighs 6.05 lbs and measures 11 x 7 x 12 inches, allowing compact installation in most pilothouse configurations. It interfaces seamlessly with Furuno NAVpilot 700 Series display units and integrates with standard NMEA 0183 marine data networks, accepting inputs from GPS, gyrocompass, wind sensors, and other vessel systems to maintain accurate autopilot performance across varying sea states and wind conditions.

Owners of mid-sized commercial fishing vessels, tugboats, and cruising sailboats rely on NAVpilot 700 systems to reduce helmsman fatigue during long transits and maintain course stability in autopilot mode. The processor unit is the component responsible for those functions—if you're upgrading, repairing, or replacing a failed NAVpilot 700 installation, the FAP7002 is the processor you need. This is a genuine Furuno OEM part (UPC 611679331854, MPN FAP7002), not an aftermarket equivalent, ensuring full compatibility and warranty support through Furuno's service network.
