The Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 16 S is a 16 inch chartplotter with touchscreen plus keypad control and a built-in single channel CHIRP sonar. The display is 1920 x 1080 FHD, and this version has no charts. It includes more than 500 sailboat polar profiles for racing and cruising, and it has two RayNet Ethernet ports and NMEA 2000. Sonar depth reaches from 0.6 m (2 ft) to 274 m (900 ft), depending on water conditions.

Our take

The 16 inch, 1920 x 1080 screen on this Axiom 2 Pro S gives the 500-plus polar profiles a big canvas, while the sonar is a single CHIRP channel reaching 274 m (900 ft). It comes without charts, so those are a separate need.

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.
