Navpilot 300 with new yamaha autopilot

[Thirio]

good evening everyone I would like your help
I have a boat regulator 32 fs with furuno tz3 19", and autopilot furuno navpilot 300 and I just received the new Yamaha 300 with the complete helm master ex system which include yamaha joystick with yamaha autopilot, can somehow make the navpilot 300 work with the yamaha pilot or does one cancel the other?

The Yamaha Helm Master Ex products are a fully integrated proprietary boat control system by Yamaha, and it appears that you have level 3.

Unfortunately Furuno's Navpilot 300 is not officially compatible with these new proprietary Helm Master Ex products.

Hope this clarifies, :sail

And what is that

[Magnetron]

Ask your Yamaha dealer, but that is for the Yamaha Helm Master Interface, an older and completely different system than Yamaha Helm Master EX.

Hope this clarifies, :sail

Ok
Can I give waypoints from furuno tz3 19" and yamaha auto pilot follow it?

 

[Johnny Electron]

Yes, the TZT3 units will work with the Yamaha pilot well. This has been done many times by others and the TZT16/TZT19 are fully EX compatible certified. Magnetron is correct that pilot wise only the Yamaha pilot will work on EX system unfortunately.

Must order any gateway or something else from yamaha ???

 

[Johnny Electron]

For engine data to show on the TZT3, you would want a Yamaha engine gateway to provide NMEA 2000 data to the NMEA 2000 bus. If you are running the pilot, no gateway is needed for that part of it.

I think I need gateway and hdmi

 

[Johnny Electron]

To have the full blessing; yes but really the HDMI is not going to give you anything that you don't already have on the custom Yamaha screen in the TZT3 already. Until Yamaha starts adding items that go on that HDMI, it really isn't so important.
