Furuno F150 Wind Instrument Package

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.
