Replacing FI 50

I am considering replacing my old FI 50’s with FI 70’s. I have all Furuno equipment and sensors. Is there any additional equipment I need other then the FI 70s. I have AIS, Depth Sounder, Autopilot, tztouch….All Furuno but earlier models.
 
About the only item that might be needed would be if you have a FI-5001 wind unit. That unit would need the IF-NMEAFI converter to drop the wind sensor to the 2000 bus; if you have one. If you don't have that wind sensor then everything should be pretty much plug and play.
 
That is what I was wondering. My 5001 sensor is not working correctly. Seems to be a mechanical issue. I will need to climb mast to see if replacement is necessary.
