Furuno FI50 Depth Speed Wind Instrument Package
$1,080.00
Furuno FI50 Depth Speed Wind Instrument Package is a complete NMEA2000 package for wind, depth, and speed data on sailboats and powerboats. The kit combines dedicated displays, a wind sensor, and a smart thru-hull sensor to provide readable helm data with ±10° (angle) / ±5% (speed at 20 kt) and 1 to 60 mph (airmar signal processing).
Overview Furuno FI50 Depth Speed Wind Instrument Package
Furuno FI50 Depth Speed Wind Instrument Package is a networked instrument package for wind, depth, speed, and water temperature data on sailboats and powerboats. It combines dedicated displays, sensors, and a junction box so the core instrument system can be installed as one matched set.
The package is useful for helm refits that need readable sailing or cruising data without building the whole network from individual parts. Source data highlights NMEA2000 (CAN bus) Fully Certified; ±10° (Angle) / ±5% (Speed at 20 kt); 1 to 60 MPH (Airmar Signal Processing).
Key Features
- Complete instrument package: The package combines two displays, a wind sensor, a DST-800 depth/speed/temperature sensor, and an FI5002 junction box in one system.
- NMEA2000 backbone integration: NMEA2000 (CAN bus) Fully Certified supports easier connection with compatible instrument networks.
- Wind information for sail trim and routing: ±10° (Angle) / ±5% (Speed at 20 kt) helps present usable apparent wind data at the helm.
- Dedicated depth sensing: 235 kHz (Prevents interference with fishfinders) is intended for instrument depth data rather than fishfinder-style sonar imaging.
- Boat speed monitoring: 1 to 60 MPH (Airmar Signal Processing) covers typical sailing and coastal powerboat operation.
- Room to expand: 8 Total Ports (2 Backbone, 6 Drop) via FI5002 gives the package a practical starting point for a larger instrument network.
Applications
- Sailing yachts that need wind, depth, and speed data visible from the helm or mast area.
- Cruising and club-racing boats that want a packaged NMEA2000 instrument upgrade instead of assembling parts individually.
- Powerboats that need compact networked instrument data for depth, water temperature, and boat speed.
