Seamless Weatherfax and Navtex Reception
The Furuno FAX30 transforms any NavNet display or PC into a fully functional Weatherfax and Navtex receiver, providing mariners with crucial weather updates and navigational information in real time. Designed as a waterproof black box unit, it integrates effortlessly with NavNet displays or an Ethernet hub via a single Ethernet cable. When connected to an Ethernet hub with multiple NavNet displays, each display gains access to the FAX30’s functionalities. Additionally, a standard PC with an Ethernet card can be used to display and manage incoming weather and navigational data.
This paperless solution enhances maritime safety by delivering up-to-date weather images directly to a 10.4" NavNet display or a connected PC. With user-friendly softkey menu navigation on NavNet and intuitive web browser access on PCs, the FAX30 simplifies data retrieval without requiring proprietary software. Mariners can even print images and messages from a connected PC for reference and documentation.
For optimal weather tracking, the FAX30 integrates seamlessly with NavNet’s true-color radar, providing a comprehensive solution for navigating through uncertain conditions.

Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.
Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose.

A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.
Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.
