The Axiom 2 Pro 16 RVM is a Raymarine HybridTouch chartplotter with a 16 inch display, supplied display only with no charts. The screen runs at 1920 x 1080 FHD, and it takes touch or keypad control. Sonar is built in, with a 600 watt RealVision MAX CHIRP channel and a separate 1kW dual channel CHIRP port for deep water. It has NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi, and can add a Quantum 2 or Cyclone radar.

Our take

HybridTouch gives you a touchscreen for planning and a keypad for when seas are rough, on a 1920 x 1080 screen. The 1kW deep water CHIRP port sits beside the 600 watt RealVision MAX channel. It is display only, with no charts included.

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.
