Furuno InfoLINK BBWX4 Satellite Weather Receiver Product Description
Imagine heading out on the water with confidence, knowing exactly what's brewing in the skies ahead. The Furuno BBWX4 SiriusXM satellite weather receiver transforms your NavNet TZtouch series multifunction display into a powerful ally against unpredictable marine conditions. Drawing from the latest SiriusXM Marine Weather services, it streams high-resolution radar, forecasts, and specialized fishing data directly to your charts, helping you navigate safely and fish smarter.
Whether you're chasing billfish offshore or cruising coastal waters, this compact receiver overlays animated weather layers on raster or vector cartography, giving you an edge that goes beyond basic forecasts. It's designed for real-world boating demands, with rugged construction that stands up to spray, salt, and rough seas.
Why Boaters and Anglers Rely on the BBWX4 for Superior Situational Awareness
Safe passage starts with reliable intel. Traditional marine radios and apps fall short when coverage drops or updates lag. The BBWX4 pulls live data from industry-leading sources, updating frequently to show storm cells forming miles away. Overlay sea surface temperatures to pinpoint bait balls, track lightning strikes to avoid hazards, or monitor wave heights for smoother planning.
- Fishing Hotspots at a Glance: High-res SST images reveal temperature breaks where gamefish congregate, while plankton plots guide you to productive zones.
- Storm Evasion: Animated NOWRad radar lets you see rain, squalls, and fronts moving in real-time, overlaid right on your chartplotter.
- Extended Coverage: Works across the U.S. continental coverage area and parts of Canada, perfect for Great Lakes voyages or Gulf Stream runs.
- Entertainment Bonus: On TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 models, tune into SiriusXM radio channels for music or news during downtime.
For tournament pros, this means arriving first at the bite. For weekend cruisers, it means dodging pop-up thunderstorms. The result? More time enjoying the water, less time reacting to surprises.
Standout Features That Set the BBWX4 Apart
Building on Furuno's legacy of marine innovation, the BBWX4 packs advanced capabilities into a sleek, user-friendly package. Here's what makes it a must-have upgrade:
- Seamless chart overlays for both raster and vector maps, ensuring precise positioning of weather elements relative to your route.
- Instant access to buoy reports, wind speeds, tropical tracks, and altimetry data—critical for optimizing your day on the water.
- LED status indicators on the front panel for quick checks of power, network, and satellite lock.
- Low power draw under 3W, compatible with 12-24V systems, so it won't strain your batteries during long trips.
- Half the size of its predecessor (BBWX3), with dimensions of just 7 inches wide, 1.7 inches deep, and 3.1 inches high for easy mounting.
Waterproof to IPX6 and IPX7 standards, it thrives in exposed helm stations or below-deck installs, operating reliably from -4°F to 158°F.
Perfect Fit for NavNet TZtouch Systems and Simple Setup
Engineered exclusively for Furuno's NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 MFDs with compatible software, the BBWX4 integrates via Ethernet for plug-and-play operation. First-gen TZtouch handles weather overlays flawlessly, while newer models add audio playback.
Installation is straightforward: Connect the included network, power, and audio cables to your MFD. Mount the Shakespeare SRA-50 antenna high and clear of obstructions—its 25-foot cable reaches most setups. An SMA-to-SMB adapter ensures versatility. Everything you need arrives in the box, ready to go.
Pro tip: Position the antenna with a clear sky view for optimal signal strength, and calibrate overlays in your TZtouch menu for customized views like radar-only or full forecast stacks.
