The Raymarine Axiom+ 9 is a multifunction display and chartplotter with a 9 inch IPS screen, supplied with North American LightHouse charts. A quad-core processor drives it, and it has a 10 Hz GPS/GNSS receiver and built-in Wi-Fi for streaming and control from a phone or tablet. It networks over Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000 and is ready for Quantum CHIRP radar. Surface and trunnion mounting kits, hardware and a power/data cable are included.

Our take

The quad-core processor is what drives chart redraws on this 9 inch Axiom+, which handles Raymarine LightHouse, Navionics+ and C-MAP charts. Raynet Ethernet and NMEA2000 let it join other equipment on the boat's network.

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.
