The Element HV is a 12 inch keypad-operated chartplotter and fishfinder from Raymarine. It has built-in CHIRP sonar along with DownVision and SideVision in standard and Hyper versions, and the HyperVision sonar runs at 1.2 megahertz for resolution up to 100 ft. It includes Navionics+ charts covering coastal USA and Canada, and has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built in. The unit comes without a transducer, so the sonar needs one supplied separately.
Our take
The 1.2 megahertz HyperVision sonar is rated for resolution up to 100 ft, so that is the depth to plan around for its sharpest imaging. The display also comes without a transducer, so the sonar side stays idle until one is fitted.
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.
