The Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 9 S is a 9 inch HybridTouch chartplotter with a built-in single channel CHIRP sonar. This is the display-only version, with no charts, and the transducer is not included. The screen is 1280 x 720 HD. It has two RayNet Ethernet ports and 64 GB of internal storage. The sonar reads depth from 0.6 m (2 ft) to 274 m (900 ft) depending on water conditions, using a CPT-S transducer with an adapter cable.

Our take

The sonar here is a single CHIRP channel reaching 274 m, but no transducer comes with the unit, and it wants a CPT-S transducer on an adapter cable before the sonar does anything. Charts are absent too, so a chart card is 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.
