Furuno InfoLINK BBWX4 Satellite Weather Receiver
The BBWX4 offers real - time, up - to - date weather info and forecasts. Whether your customers are out on their boats within the SXM satellite coverage area, they can feel at ease. This receiver gets weather data from top industry experts and delivers it via SiriusXM's Marine Weather services (Marine Coastal and Marine Offshore packages). When connected to a TZtouch2 MFD, boaters can also tune in to their favorite SiriusXM Radio channels.
Get high - quality, comprehensive weather data that can be overlaid on both raster and vector charts. Boaters gain access to premium weather content like current weather reports, NOWRad® high - res weather radar images, and sea surface temperature images to help fishermen find good fishing spots.

Using the Furuno InfoLINK BBWX4 is straightforward. First, connect it to your TZtouch2 MFD using the provided power, audio, and network cables. Attach the Shakespeare SiriusXM SR50 antenna with the 25 - foot antenna cable. Once connected, it'll start receiving weather and radio data within the SXM satellite footprint. When using, remember that it's only compatible with NavNet TZtouch v6.01 (available late February) and TZtouch2 v6.21 (available mid - February), and older NavNet versions won't work. The TZtouch (1st gen.) only gives you SXM Weather, no radio services. Keep it in mind for proper usage. In terms of maintenance, because it has a compact waterproof design (IPX6/7), it can withstand some water exposure. But avoid long - term submersion. The dual - voltage feature (12/24VDC) with low power consumption means it won't drain your boat's battery quickly. Check the front LED indicator lights regularly to monitor the network and power port status. If you have any problems, don't return it to the place of purchase. Instead, contact the manufacturer directly.
