Furuno Rudder Reference f/NAVpilot Series Autopilots

The Furuno Rudder Reference Unit for NAVpilot Series Autopilots is designed for serious boaters who require reliable autopilot performance. This unit integrates seamlessly with Furuno's NAVpilot systems to provide precise rudder feedback and enhance course-keeping control. Whether navigating long offshore passages or maintaining position in challenging conditions, accurate rudder feedback is essential for stable and fuel-efficient autopilot operation.

This rudder reference sensor eliminates guesswork from automated steering by delivering real-time rudder angle data to the autopilot computer. It communicates directly with NAVpilot autopilot processors, allowing for continuous rudder position feedback. This enables the system to make micro-adjustments to steering commands, minimizing hunt and overshoot while ensuring that your preset course is maintained without lag or oscillation.

Cruising sailors, commercial operators, and yacht crews will find significant benefits from integrating this rudder reference unit, especially when upgrading older NAVpilot systems. Its compact design allows for flexible installation in engine rooms or steering compartments, making it suitable for both cruising sailboats and offshore power vessels.
