Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package
$585.00
Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package combines an FI501 display and FI5001 masthead sensor to show wind angle and wind speed over NMEA2000 networks.
Overview Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package
Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package is a wind monitoring package built around the FI501 digital/analog display and the FI5001 masthead wind sensor. It is designed to provide clear wind angle and wind speed information for sailboats and powerboats using NMEA2000 networking.
The package uses a single-network approach for simple installation, while the display combines analog-style readability with digital data. Automatic backlight control and an exposed-mount-ready design make it practical for helm and cockpit installations.
Key Features
- FI501 display and FI5001 sensor: Combines a dedicated display with a masthead sensor for direct wind monitoring.
- NMEA2000 networking: Supports straightforward integration with compatible multifunction displays and other instruments.
- Useful wind accuracy: The source data lists better than ±10° wind angle accuracy and better than ±5% wind speed accuracy at 20 knots.
- Automatic backlight control: Built-in light sensing helps protect night vision and keeps the display readable in changing light.
- IP56 display housing: Designed for exposed marine mounting positions where spray and humidity are part of normal use.
Applications
A good fit for sail trim monitoring, apparent wind reference, and general weather awareness on sailboats, cruising yachts, and powerboats that want a dedicated wind display in the cockpit or at the helm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package
How is Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package intended to be used on board?
Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package is designed to provide dedicated instrument data for wind, depth, speed, or a stated combination of those functions. The package format is useful for owners who want coordinated sensors, displays, and network components rather than choosing each part separately.
What visibility or presentation features stand out?
The stated specification includes High-contrast digital / analog backlit LCD. That gives buyers a clearer view of what the package can monitor and how it is meant to be used. The stated display format of High-contrast digital / analog backlit LCD also helps define how information is viewed during normal operation.
Can this display or package expand within a larger system?
This instrument package is described for use on an NMEA 2000 based instrument network. That matters when owners want instrument data to move across multiple displays instead of staying on one isolated screen.
What practical benefit does it bring at the helm?
Clear instrument data is especially useful on sailing and cruising boats where wind, depth, speed, or repeated navigation values need to be checked quickly. That practical readability supports routine decision-making without adding unnecessary screen complexity.
