Raymarine RS150 GPS Sensor

Upgrade your vessel's navigation with the Raymarine RS150 GPS Sensor, a compact powerhouse that delivers pinpoint accuracy even in the toughest marine conditions. This remotely mounted unit integrates seamlessly into Raymarine ecosystems, providing reliable position data for multifunction displays, autopilots, and chartplotters. Whether you're cruising coastal waters or venturing offshore, the RS150 ensures you stay on course with its advanced satellite tracking and rapid refresh rates.

Why Choose the RS150 for Superior Marine Positioning?

Boat owners know that precise GPS data isn't just a luxury—it's essential for safe and efficient voyages. The RS150 stands out by combining a high-sensitivity 72-channel receiver with GLONASS support, pulling from a broader constellation of satellites than standard GPS alone. This means faster signal acquisition and better performance under tree cover, in urban harbors, or during heavy weather when signals can fade.

Imagine threading through a narrow channel at dusk: the 10Hz update rate refreshes your position 10 times per second, smoothing out tracks on your display and enabling responsive autopilot adjustments. It's not just about getting there—it's about arriving confidently.

Key Features That Set It Apart

• 72-Channel All-View Reception: Tracks multiple satellites simultaneously for unmatched reliability.
• Ultra-Fast 10Hz Updates: Delivers smooth, real-time position and speed data, ideal for dynamic environments like racing or fishing.
• GLONASS and Multi-SBAS Support: Compatible with WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN for differential corrections, shrinking accuracy to under 5 meters in optimal conditions.
• Energy Efficient: Draws just 30mA, minimizing drain on your boat's batteries during long trips.
• Rugged Build: IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing withstands heavy spray, rain, and submersion, with a wide operating range from -25°F to 131°F.

Effortless Integration and Mounting Options

Designed with installers in mind, the RS150 connects via SeaTalkng—Raymarine's user-friendly NMEA 2000 backbone—or adapts easily to standard NMEA 2000 networks. Its low-profile surface mount keeps decks clean, while the optional pole mount elevates it above obstructions for optimal sky view. Everything you need comes included: mounting gasket, threaded studs, finger nuts, and a 3-meter SeaTalkng spur cable for quick setup.

Dimensions are compact at 4.27 inches in diameter and just 1.05 inches high, blending into any vessel from center consoles to yachts. Pro tip: Position it with a clear 360-degree view of the sky, away from radars or HF antennas, to maximize performance.

Detailed Technical Specifications

• Power: 8-32V DC (powered via N2K bus), 30mA max load.
• GPS Sensitivity: -163dBm for quick fixes—even from cold starts in under 2 minutes.
• Accuracy: <15m standard, <5m with SBAS; speed <0.3 knots.
• Environment: 93% max humidity; geodetic datum WGS84.
• Connections: SeaTalkng native; NMEA 2000 certified via adapter.

These specs translate to real-world reliability: hot starts in seconds thanks to the hold-up battery, keeping your nav data fresh even after shutdowns.

Real-World Benefits for Boaters

From weekend warriors to professional charters, users rave about how the RS150 enhances situational awareness. Pair it with Raymarine Axiom series displays for overlaid charts, AIS targets, and radar returns—all fed by rock-solid GPS. Fishermen appreciate the precise speed-over-ground for trolling, while sailors rely on it for true wind calculations and route optimization.

Its GLONASS edge shines in northern latitudes or equatorial zones where GPS coverage thins out, reducing "position jumps" that plague lesser sensors.

Equip your boat with the RS150 and navigate with confidence—precision engineering meets marine toughness for every adventure on the water.
