This is the 7 inch Raymarine Axiom+ RealVision 3D chartplotter and sonar display. This version comes with no charts and no RV-100 transducer. The screen is a high density IPS panel at 1024 x 600. Sonar is built in: a 600W digital unit running at 50 kHz and 200 kHz. It connects to a boat network over Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000, and the built-in Wi-Fi lets a phone or tablet stream and control it. Power draw is listed as 7.34 Watts, or 9.84 Watts for the RV sonar version.

Our take

A 600W built-in sonar at 50 kHz and 200 kHz gives this 7 inch display its own fish-finding source, but this version has no RV-100 transducer and no charts, so both are extra items you would have to add.

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.
