Category: Boats and equipment
Subcategory: Steering

Elevate your vessel´s navigation and steering capabilities with the FURUNO PG-700, a sophisticated rate-compensated heading sensor engineered for the rigorous demands of modern marine environments. Unlike traditional compasses that can be affected by the vessel´s motion, the PG-700 utilizes a solid-state rate gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer to deliver exceptionally stable and smooth heading information. This advanced technology is critical for the optimal performance of your Autopilot, Radar, ARPA, Sonar, and other essential onboard navigation instruments, ensuring they receive the precise data needed to function effectively.

Experience unparalleled accuracy for crucial functions like radar overlay and target tracking (MARPA), providing a clear and reliable picture of your surroundings for enhanced situational awareness. The sensor´s ability to output not just heading but also Rate of Turn (ROT), roll, pitch, and even heave data offers a comprehensive understanding of your vessel´s dynamics. This leads to safer navigation and more effective steering control, especially in challenging sea conditions where stability and precision are paramount. The PG-700 is a "black box" component that integrates seamlessly, providing the foundational data for a truly connected and intelligent helm system. Its maintenance-free design means you can install it and trust it to perform reliably for years to come.

The FURUNO PG-700 Compass Sensor Black is a high-performance compass sensor designed for use on boats and other marine vehicles.
