The Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 12 S is a 12-inch chartplotter with a HybridTouch touchscreen and a built-in single channel CHIRP sonar. The screen runs at 1280 x 800 and shows 1200 nits, and 64 GB of internal storage is on board. The sonar reads depths from 0.6 m to 274 m, depending on water conditions. This version is display only: no charts and no transducer are included.

Our take

The sonar is a single CHIRP channel reading from 0.6 m to 274 m, and this unit ships without a transducer or charts. Both the sonar and the navigation need extras added before it works at the helm, though the HybridTouch screen takes touch or keypad input.

From our buying guide

What's in the box depends on the part number: Raymarine sells one screen display only, with charts, with a transducer, or with both. Not every chart card fits every plotter, either.

Check before you buy:

  • The part number includes the charts and transducer you expect.
  • It reads the charts you want, and you know how long their updates last, since many come with a one-year subscription.
  • A touchscreen suits your helm, since Raymarine warns that prolonged rain or water wash can cause false touches.
