The Raymarine Axiom+ 7 RV is a 7 inch chartplotter and sonar display with a high density IPS screen at 1024 x 600. This version comes with the RV-100 transducer and North American LightHouse charts. The sonar side includes a built-in 600W unit at 50 kHz and 200 kHz alongside RealVision 3D. It also has a 10 Hz GPS/GNSS receiver, Wi-Fi, Raynet Ethernet and NMEA 2000, and comes with surface and trunnion mounting kits.

Our take

This package includes the RV-100 transducer alongside the built-in 600W sonar, so the sonar side is covered from the start. With Raynet Ethernet and NMEA 2000 you can network more gear into it as the boat's electronics grow.

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.
