Jonathan le ur raymarine norcal regional pro ambassador team member has been extra helpful 😉 He has spent hours and hours with me going over all my electronics. I really owe Jonathan something special for all of this.
I'm in the process of adding a second transducer to my Axiom. The section on the Y-Cable with a Airmar 50/200 was on point and very much appreciated! Good stuff, thanks for these webinars!
Thank you! You made me aware that I have TWO network ports on my Axiom Pro. I just ordered the RMK-10 and the HS5 and two Raynet cables. I am just in time to cancel the order of the switch and one of the two cables!
If we are using the Axiom 7RV plus as chartplotter only would it draw more power than the Axiom 7 plus MFD only, i.e. do additional onboard electronics on RV model draw more power if no transducers are plugged in?
Without transducers disconnected, the power draw for the RV vs. Chartplotter versions is nearly the same. The internal sonar will switch to "no ping" mode so it won't try to transmit anything. For reference, the Axiom+ 9 Chartplotter version draws 8.95 Watts, where the RealVision model draws 11.98 Watts. That is with the display at full brightness, sonar transmitting (RV), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled.
Very interesting. Really enjoyed this presentation and previous presentation on networking. We have just purchased a new boat with Axion display...have not had time to figure out all the features so these two presentations havebeen very useful. We would like to see presentation on Raymarine RADARs and latest issue of Lighthouse 3.
Thanks for watching, Borys. Congratulations on the new boat purchase. For radar information you might find this webinar from our 2020 season helpful: th-cam.com/video/LnkucGlDfvg/w-d-xo.html We'll try to do a new show this season on radar too, along with some coverage of new LightHouse 3 features.
Thanks for the info. Nice equipment. I have an aciom 9 rv and cant seem to get it going. I have used it twice and then it sat for months. I supply power, green power illuminates, backlight illuminates black screen with tiny color lines, doesnt respond to touch, never starts up. Im lost. Please advise. Very frustrating.
Hi Joe. I would double-check that Axiom is getting the proper voltage at the end of its power cable. Unplug and check across the 2 largest sockets on the power cable to make sure you are getting 12-volts to the end of the cable. Normally that LED is red when the unit is turned off, and white when it is on. If the power looks good and it still won't turn on, there is a system reboot you could also try: 1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display. 2. Power on your MFD, and within approximately 10 seconds, swipe your finger from right to left (opposite direction to powering on) across the Power button swipe area 5 times. Recovery options are displayed. 3. Swipe your finger from right to left twice to highlight Wipe data/factory reset. 4. Swipe your finger from left to right once to accept. 5. Swipe your finger from right to left once to highlight Yes. 6. Swipe your finger from left to right once to restore your MFD to factory default settings. 7. When Data wipe complete is displayed, swipe your finger from left to right to restart your MFD. If you need help with this, or if it is unsuccessful, please get it touch with our support team at raymarine.custhelp.com or give us a call at 1-800-539-5539.
Thanks for the video. We are thinking about upgrading to Axiom+12 from C90W. Which products below we have can not be used with the Axiom? C90W (as a second screen?) RD418HD - 18” 4 kW Digital Radome Antenna. ST60+Wind ST60+Tridata Smart Pilot X5 wheel with ST6002 AIS650
Hello Shungo. Thank you for watching! You are in luck in that everything on your list will work with Axiom. The RD418HD radar is still compatible and will connect to Axiom through the Raynet high speed Ethernet network. Your ST60+ instruments and wheel pilot can communicate with Axiom too. You will need to add our E22158 SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter kit to your network. This small devices bridges the older-generation SeaTalk 1 information to the newer SeaTalk Next Generation (NG) network used by Axiom. Your AIS650 AIS receiver will also plug directly into the SeaTalk NG network, into one of the white spur connections.
Hello Richie. You can use a non-CHIRP transducer on it if you'd like. You will need a transducer adapter pigtail to make the connection as the pin-out of the non-CHIRP transducers is different. The non-CHIRP transducers have an 8-pin connector. Axiom Pro RVX has an 11-pin CHIRP connector. The adapter part number is A80496.
@@Raymarine okay so i got that adapter cable, and used it to mount the airmar tm258 transducer but the axiom doesnt seem to detect it. Maybe they are not compatible?
Axiom XL screens do not have built-in sonar, so there is no transducer connection on them. Instead, they will be networked to an external sonar module (RVX-1000, CP470, CP570, etc.) or networked to another Axiom display that has built-in sonar (Axiom+RV, Axiom Pro RVX, etc.) Axiom XL screens have lots of other multimedia connections on them in place of the transducer connection. These include HDMI input and output and touchscreen input and output. They allow you to remote control other touch-capabile devices, or, remote control Axiom XL somewhere else on the boat with an HDMI touch monitor.
Another great video, thanks! I bought the axiom9+ RV version, but have a sail boat, so the rv100 is of no use. Is there an adapter cable so that I can install a 600w inhull reservoir transducer? And if I have a wifi q2 radar and want to add a video connection, do I still need the HS5? Many thanks
Hello Ralph. You can use adapter part number A80489, which is an Axiom RV 25-pin to CP370/Airmar 7-pin transducer adapter cable. Use that with transducer E66008, which is an Airmar P79 adjustable in-hull transducer. Its a 600-watt, dual frequency (50/200kHz) reservoir style transducer. That adapter cable shuts off the Downvision, Sidevision, 3D and CHIRP and activates the Axiom RV's secondary 600-watt digital sonar. The Quantum 2 radar could be connected using Wi-Fi to your Axiom+ screen, leaving the RayNet ethernet port on the back of Axiom open for a camera connection. If you wanted to plug in the radar and the camera you would need the HS5.
I wonder that too. Garmin has a plug and play product that let you expose your boats nmea2k and Garmin network to the internet for remote access to all kinds of data. I've seen nothing similar for Raymarine. That leaves us with homebrewed solutions eg signalk and nmea2ethernet bridges.
Hi Deric. I can't speak about unreleased products here on TH-cam, but know that we are always innovating and working on many new things to make the boating experience even better. What kinds of data would you like to be able to see from home? What kinds of things would you want to control remotely?
Hi David. The white spur cable is always used to connect a device to the backbone. The backbone cables (blue) only connect to other blue backbone connections. Axiom's power cable has a NMEA2000 DeviceNet connector on the cable. If you are running to a STNG network you will need to adapt it using part number A06045 (400mm long) or A06075 (1 meter long) to make that connection.
I have a Raytheon 650 autopilot that uses the NMEA0183 to my MFD E120. The Axiom Pro has the NMEA0183 connection on the back, but the Axiom Plus does not. Does that mean that the Autopilot would better with the Pro? I would prefer the Plus. However, will any of the Axiom units take all the data like sonar from my SeaTalk and NMEA0183? I like to keep the E120 and make it work with the Axiom, would this work? What else do you recommend to make it all work with my system?
Hello Louie. Only the Axiom Pro has support for NMEA0183. That format is quickly disappearing from modern electronics, and being replaced with NMEA2000. There are 2 ways you could do this: 1. Connect the NMEA0183 input and output of the RayPilot 650 to the NMEA0183 input and output of the Axiom Pro. This would give you basic connectivity so Axiom can send data to the pilot for steering. Axiom would get back heading information from the autopilot. 2. Add a SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter (E2158) to your RayPilot network, and connect the converter into a SeaTalk NG network with both of your Axiom displays and any other new accessories you have. This would be the preferred way of doing it. This device does the necessary translation between the older Seatalk 1 format the RayPilot speaks and the newer SeaTalk NG/NMEA2000 format used by Axiom. Your old E120 display also has a SeaTalk 1 connection. It would also be able to communicate through the interface. Any SeaTalk data available on that network would be available to Axiom, and vice-versa. I will offer some realistic caution here though. The Raypilot650 and the E120 are both very, very old now. When you combine together very old and very new systems like this, even using converters and such, there are often trade-offs when it comes to functionality. Not knowing exactly what you have now, and how it is wired, it is very difficult to predict exactly what level of smooth, seamless integration you will achieve. There may be advantages to just connecting the Raypilot system to Axiom through the converter, but leaving the E120 isolated on its own, or even not integrating any of it and keeping the older gear as-is, with Axiom running separately. I strongly suggest chatting with a local electronics installer, or giving our support team a call to talk it through in detail.
@@Raymarine thanks for the info. If I wanted to upgrade my Raytheon autopilot 650 to the newer versions to interact with Axiom, what must be changed to make it work; Navigation Computer, Compass, etc? Also, I have a Carver 444 with twin Cummins 370 engines. Which of your autopilots is the best unit for it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jim, I have been using multiple axioms in my setup for many years and have had a major irritation for a long time - when I navigate a route, while tracking (which we do for many hours), to advance a waypoint will need three pushes of a button. Restarting XTE will also take three clicks from the main map view. Would it not be possible to either define one or more hot keys, similar to selectable data or move these two functions at least to the first screen after pressing the three stripes, or even to the main (map) screen? This problem is worsened because the axioms do not find their position within a route (as competitors do), but after selecting a new route, it always starts at the beginning, necessitating one or more “advance waypoint” presses. Is there an address where I can discuss these issues? Kind regards, David Zimmerman
Hello David. When you pull up a route onto Axiom's chart display, but before engaging it in navigation, you can long-press on either the waypoint you want to begin navigation from, or the leg you want to start at, and then select FOLLOW ROUTE from the menu that pops up. It will then ask if you want to start from the beginning, or from that leg/waypoint specifically. That will bypass any of the prior waypoints in the sequence, and prevent you from needing to make multiple presses of the "Advance Waypoint" function. I will put in a product suggestion to our MFD software team asking them to look at making the Advance Waypoint and Restart XTE buttons more accessible. I do understand its a commonly used function, and minimizing the number of presses or touches to get to them would be highly desirable. For example, on Axiom Pro, Axiom 2 Pro and RMK-10 systems there are user-programmable buttons. Currently "Advance Waypoint" is not one of the selections that can be assigned to it. Restart XTE is an option for that button. Feel free to drop me an email if you wish to discuss this in more detail. james.mcgowan@raymarine.com comes directly to me.
My boat has a 2011 Airmar thur hull transducer. I installed all Axiom system with the RV100 and I'd like to be able to use the old Airmar transducer as well. What cable should I use with my RV100 and Airmar B60-20 (PN 31-556-2-01)? Thanks
Hi Ed. If you have an Axiom RV or Axiom+ RV model you can use part number A80491 to attach both your RV100 and the B60 to your display. That part is a Y-Cable. It plugs into the 25-pin transducer port on Axiom RV or Axiom+ RV and gives you dual transducer connections. There is a 25-pin socket for the RV100, plus a 7-pin socket that fits your B60 transducer. With this connector in-place, the high CHIRP Sonar channel on your Axiom RV is disabled, and replaced by the 50 kHz and 200 kHz digital channels from the B60 transducer. You didn't mention specifically which Axiom-series product you have, so let me warn you (and anyone else reading this) that this particular Y-Cable and split-transducer setup only works with Axiom RV and Axiom + RV models. It does not work with Axiom Pro RVX or the RVX-1000 sounder module.
Hi I have a 2023 beneteau oceanis 46.1 and two screen raymarine ais 700 I had a problem of wind data receive and also some times dissapearing depth data so I called service of Raymarine. As a result it is said that we have two screen with two antenna and the one of the antenna should be closed for not to cause confusuion of the machine. Is it really true?? Or is there any other problem with my electronic??
I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. You have some odd things happening there. Its not clear to me why there are 2 antennas in play, or what difference it would make to wind or depth. I'd like to get one of our support technicians in touch to talk through this with you. Would you be able to send me an email with your contact details and location? You can reach me at james.mcgowan@raymarine.com.
I'm looking to upgrade from E90-W. My current Raydar VCM100, Smart Pilot X-Can, and DSM 300 seem to all use SEATALK HS. So do you agree I would be able to use the existing components on a new Axiom product?
Hello Bill. Everything you mention here is compatible with Axiom aside from your DSM300 sonar module. That sonar unfortunately doesn't work with Axiom. Its transducers however, can be connected to an Axiom Pro RVX, or a CP370 sonar module. VCM-100 is part of your open-array radar, which is Axiom compatible. The Autopilot system can communicate with Axiom using SeaTalk NG networking. SeaTalk HS is equivalent to what we now call RayNet. Both are high-speed Ethernet. We improved the waterproofness of the cable connectors between product generations, but the underlying network technology is the same. We offer adapters that will allow you to use the existing SeaTalk HS cables run through your boat and connect them to the RayNet sockets on new generation products.
Hello Klass. I'm not allowed to speak about unreleased products on here. Do know that Element units in general are not expandable. They do not have RayNet networking on in them like their Axiom counterparts have. They support radar (via Wi-Fi with a Quantum scanner) and integration with basic NMEA2000 devices like autopilot, instruments and VHF.)
Hello. First off, I love the webinars. Great info. So I’m redoing all the electronics on my 1996 Luhrs 32 convertible. Slowly as budgets allow. I have Axiom pro 16, cam 210 w/AR200, Rockford stereo etc. I am wanting to add a ACU-150. I don’t need a pump, but do I need the EV-1 or does the AR-200 take place like it does with GPS?
Hi Matt. Thanks for watching and for choosing Raymarine for your refit! You will need the EV1 sensor in your autopilot system. Though they look similar on the outside, and offer some similar capabilities, the EV1 and AR200 have different functions. On any Evolution autopilot the EV1 (or EV2 on some models) is not only the compass sensor but also the brain of the entire pilot. It is the device that is actually doing all of the monitoring of boat motion, and sending commands to the drive unit to turn the boats rudders or drives. The AR200 sensor doesn't have the autopilot brains inside, so can't be used in place of the EV1/EV2.
Jim, I'm running Axiom Pro 9 as Master at the SV Helm, I want/need a 2nd Axiom at the Salon's Nav Station. Do you foresee/anticipate any issue using just AxiomO instead of Axiom+ as a 2nd slave in any future implementation or development? Also, can the AxiomO use the Lighthouse and/or Navionics charts residing on the master Axiom Pro 9? Thanks so much for doing outstanding Raymarine product shows.
Thanks for watching, Nat! You can mix and match any combination of Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL models. Just update the software so they are all on the same version. Charts are shared across the network and accessible on all Axioms on the RayNet Ethernet network.
Thank you for the videos....very informative and concise!! I have a question. I purchased a used boat recently and it came with an Axiom 9+ I believe....it is approximately 3 years old. On the chart plotter, the symbol of my boat shows up rotated 180 degrees from what it actually is. This is frustrating as I like the head-up display...so obviously my chart is then upside down; and it basically shows my boat going in reverse. I have searched through all of the settings and can't find a way to change this. Any insight you could give would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Hello Joe. It sounds like you have an autopilot or electronic compass attached to the system that needs calibrating. The boat icon moves across the chart by GPS, but if a compass is present, that is used to orient it to the heading being reported. If you take a look at your autopilot controller, or open the Heading databox and compare it to the boat's Course Over Ground while moving, I think you'll find a big disparity between the values.
I'm having issues. I have a Axiom RXV 12 Pro, less than a year old.. The knob stopped working, it will not zoom in or out.The indexing part works(up, down, left and right). Also i had a Quantum2 radar installed 2 months ago and the Doppler stopped working. Would it be the radar dome or could it be an issue with the Axiom 12 RXV Pro
Hi Steve. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble. I think you have 2 different issues going on. The rotary knob on the Axiom Pro should be looked at by your local dealer or our repair center. I suspect something has gone awry inside of it with the encoder that detects the rotation of the knob. Being so new that should be an in-warranty repair. If you need assistance contacting our repair center please shoot me an email. james.mcgowan@raymarine.com. The Doppler mode not working on your Quantum 2 radar is not an error I have heard of before. Please check these items: 1. Doppler mode won't work unless the Axiom has a GPS position fix as the Doppler processor in the radar must know the boats Course Over Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground (SOG) which come from the GPS. Please confirm that you have a valid GPS fix. 2. Though not required, it is highly recommended to have a source of compass heading feeding the system. This could be from a connected autopilot system, from a heading sensor or electronics compass (our EV1 heading sensor) or from our AR200 Augmented Reality sensor. The heading source is recommended because GPS cannot provide an accurate Course Over Ground signal when the boat is stationary or at very slow speeds. If you don't have a heading sensor of some kind connected, do try enabling Doppler mode once the boat is moving as the GPS COG should kick in to allow it. Doppler Mode is switched on or off in the radar's main menu. WIth the radar app open touch Menu....Doppler and make sure it is switched on. Quantum 2 offers a non-Doppler mode too. You might also want to check which color palette you have selected as there are several different options available, and some of them look a bit different from the standard on. Menu...Settings...Presentation....and on there you'll see your color palette choices. Doppler Grey is the default selection, but there are also Doppler Blue and Doppler Yellow options. The Doppler Yellow, in particular, might make it appear like the radar is not in Doppler mode as the contrast between the colors (yellow for stationary items, red or green for moving) is not quite as great as the other selections.
I’ve just purchased a 9+ with RV for my sailboat, I want to add a forward looking sonar to help when navigating in shore rocky areas to anchor, what’s my best transducer option and would I be able to remove my depth sounder and user the new transducer as I do not want more holes in the hull, (2nd hole in for speed already)
Hello Mark. We don't currently have a forward looking sonar in our lineup. Our Axiom systems offer SideVision, Downvision and 3D sonar, but none of them look ahead of the boat.
Ok, thanks I can just hope that Raymarine release one for the future; would axiom work with a B&G forward looking sonar as those guys have this technology?
Hi Andy. Your Axiom is likely one of the Axiom "chartplotter" models I mentioned in the broadcast. It does not have the built-in sonar so the transducer port is capped off. You can add sonar capability to your system using an external sounder module though and networking it via RayNet fast Ethernet. Our CP100, CP370, CP470, CP570 and RVX-1000 sonars will all work with your Axiom.
Hi Adam. With Axiom XL only, you have an advantage because that screen has both a micro USB accessory port (for the card reader or drone) as well as a full-sized USB Type-A port normally used for the Axiom XL's touchscreen pass-through features. In this case use the microUSB port for the connection to your drone's controller, and use a regular USB SD or microSD card reader plugged into the USB-A port to access your charts.
Hello and thank you for thesr videos, I recently bought a Quantum doppler radar. I have axom + R can I just plug into MFD and power ? (no other devices at this time) will I have all functions from the Quantum. Thank you. Ray
Thanks for watching! The Quantum 2 Doppler Radar is fully compatible with your Axiom. Run the network cable from the scanner to the network port on your Axiom. Connect the radar's power cable to your power source and you're done. No other devices are needed to make it work. Something to consider for the future, but not required, is to add a heading sensor to your system. If you have an autopilot now you have this covered already. Othewise, you could add a pilot, or just the compass sensor itself. Giving the radar a heading signal from the compass will improve the accuracy of its collision avoidance tools (MARPA and ARPA) and will enable a mode called Stabilized PPI that allows the radar scope to rotate freely as the boat changes heading. Adding the heading sensor also allows you to use Doppler mode when the boat is stationary.
I have a 12" element. I mostly troll the great lakes. Do you know if arimar makes a transducer with a wider cone angle than the transducer that comes with the unit?
Hi Michael. Element systems can only be configured with Raymarine HyperVision or CPT-S transducers. Airmar transducers won't work with Element. Have you tried trolling in 3D mode? That combines the Sidevision and Down Vision channels together into a composite 3D image that is nearly 180 degrees wide.
I added two new transducers and in the interim I had to replace my batteries right after the install so my displays were never turned on because of dead batteries. When I replaced the batteries my axiom did not read the new transducers. I also need to do a software upgrade so when I do the upgrade will the system find and read the new transducers? If not what do I need to do to get them to connect to new transducers?
Axiom should read the new transducers, with or without the software upgrade. What transducers did you add, and are they connected directly to Axiom, or are they connected to a sonar module like CP370, 470, 570, etc? Do make sure that module is powered on if that is the case. I would proceed with the update, and see if they are detected afterwards. If they are not, I suggest backing up your waypoints and routes then doing a factory reset on Axiom. Let it boot up and then hopefully detect the new transducers. You can then restore your settings and data.
@@Raymarine I had the b175hw and b175l put in w CP470/570dual transducer y cable. Good point that maybe the CP470 was never turned on since the batteries were dead.
@@Raymarine I did as I uploaded the updated software but I still had tech come out and walk me through the system. I have some more questions but will email you directly!
Can Axiom interface with forwardscan transducers? For that matter does Raymarine have a forwardscan transducer lineup? I would definitely like to see more product information aimed at cruising yachts.
Hi Donovan. Raymarine doesn't currently offer a forward-scanning sonar. There are some products on the market that offer forward-looking sonar with video output that can be connected to Axiom Pro or Axiom XL's analog video input. EchoPilot is one example. We've had feedback from many customers who have gone this route and seem to like it.
Would my Mainship 34T, which has a canvas-enclosed bridge, need a remote GPS antenna? My current double E80's use an antenna outside the canvas envelope.
Hi Ross. I would consider adding the external antenna on your setup just to be certain you are getting the best signal possible. In most cases the internal GPS antennas would be fine on a boat with a canvas top, but it sounds like your scenario takes it a step further, with full enclosure. GPS receivers have become much more sensitive since the E80 units were made, but at the same time the full enclosure is going to make signal acquisition more challenging. If the canvas is wet, that would take it 1 step farther. There are several ways you could add the external sensor that won't add much cost, and could add more capability too. For example our AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor Module has both a GPS and precision compass inside. It would give you both feeds to Axiom, plus you could add Augmented Reality cameras later if you wanted. With an enclosed bridge they would help with blind spots too. Feel free to snap a few photos of your helm and bridge and I would be happy to comment further. james.f.mcgowan@raymarine.com is my email.
So I have a full raymarine setup but am distrustful of anything Wifi honestly. I have a Raymarine C80, and an older raymarine radar but wanted to upgrade to an element or Axiom but was worried that I wouldn't be able to connect my old radar or that I would need to upgrade. Wifi connections for a safety device is kinda scary for me, I would rather hardline connect to my radar. Also in the previous video you said the element systems can't connect to your new radars. Is that correct?
Thanks for watching! If you go with an Element-series display, the only radar option for it is a Wi-Fi connected Quantum radar. Element does not have a wired network option for radar. Technically you can connect either the Quantum or the Quantum 2 Doppler radar to an Element, however, the Element display does not support the Doppler features of the scanner so it makes more budgetary sense to go with the standard Quantum so you are not paying extra for features you can't use. If you choose Axiom as your display, you can connect a Quantum or Quantum 2 radar either using Wi-Fi, or with a traditional cable. Axiom support the full radar feature set, so if you choose a doppler radar, you'll have full access to it.
Hi Ian. Your Axiom displays will share chart data from a single map card if you link them together with a RayNet cable. The network also lets them share radar, sonar, instrument data, camera video and more.
hi i have purchased a axiom 12 pro rvm .been told i need to conect a 1600 rvm 3d with rv420 tranducers 600 watts ( pair ) to make it work its best set up .please can you help with connections and info .thanks Steve
Hello Stephen. If you are looking at the Axiom 12 Pro RVM you do not need an RVM-1600 3D module. The same capabilities provided by the RVM-1600 are already built into Axiom 12 Pro RVM models. The pair of RV420 transducers will first connect to each other with an included Y-Cable, then the pair will connect directly to the 25-pin transducer port on the back of the Axiom 12 Pro RVM display. If you send me an email to james.mcgowan@raymarine.com I can try to locate a diagram for you showing the connections.
Can Emtrak AIS A100 having NMEA0183 output be interfaced with axiom pro so that I can use the ais data as well on the radar for a better surface picture?
Hello Ashish. Yes, sir. Axiom Pro has an NMEA0183 input and it can be configured for AIS reception. The NMEA input and output lines are part of its power cable bundle. In the MFD's settings you'll want to configure the NMEA port to run at 38,400 baud, which is normally the standard for AIS. You'll see it in there.
Hello, I have an Axiom Pro 9 and a GS150 External Antenna. I am having trouble locating it on my display. I only see the Internal GPS. Antenna is mounted on a Radar Arch inside of a "dummy" KVH satellite antenna case. Could this be causing the signal to be non-existent? My previous GPS on my older Ray RL70 system worked fine inside the case. Which is why I mounted it there. Thanks
Hello Eddie. The GS150 is an auxiliary antenna for your Axiom Pro's built-in GPS receiver. Instead of trying to read the GPS signal through the top of the MFD and its front glass, the GPS signals enter the system at the RS150. The GPS source and signal strength is still reported as the "internal GPS." It does sound like for whatever reason, the dummy antenna dome is reducing the signal quality. If you have the option of testing at the dock, call up the satellite status page and make a comparison of the signal strengths with the dome cover on vs. off.
@@Raymarine Hello, So that I understand correctly, Even if I have a GA150 external antenna it will still read as Internal on the network page? Is that correct? I remember reading that you would have to change the settings from internal to external when I was doing research. Thanks
That is correct. The GA150 is an external aerial that pulls signal from the air into the internal GPS receiver. Plugging in the GA150 also bypasses the micro-antenna that is built-in behind the screen glass. Think of the GA150 as being like the antenna on the roof or fender of your car that feeds the AM/FM radio. The GA150 is really a "dumb" device and does not do any processing. The internal GPS is still doing all the processing. An external sensor would be something like the Raystar 150 GPS sensor or the AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor. These units look similar to GA150 but are different inside. They are "smart" devices with a full GPS antenna and receiver subsystems inside the puck. They output a fully formatted NMEA2000 or Seatalk NG stream to the network that contains GPS position, course over ground, speed over ground, time, date, etc.
Hello Richard. Helm Master EX integration with Axiom XL uses a special Multifunction Display Interface kit (MFDI) and NMEA2000 gateway to make its connection to Axiom XL. Both of these are Yamaha parts, available from your local Yamaha dealer. The MFDI kit is part number 6YM-8A201-00 and the gateway is part number 6YG-8A2D0-11. Both of these devices connect to the Yamaha Command Link network, then the gateway connects to the boat's NMEA2000/SeaTalk NG network. The MFDI connect via HDMI to Axiom XL's input. Our support team can give you more detailed setup information over at raymarine.custhelp.com
Our Axiom units work with MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC cards. Across those cards there is a wide range of sizes from 4 GB up to 2 TB in size. Any size in the range will work. 32 GB and 64 GB are readily available, fairly inexpensive and work well for most applications. The largest card you can use in an Axiom is a MicroSDXC card with 2 Terrabytes (TB) of storage, formatted in exFAT format. We recommend that any card you use in Axiom be rated at Class 10 or Ultra High Speed class, or better. We also recommend using name-brand card media rather than some of the mystery alternatives available online.

I’m not sure if you still monitor old webinars, but I’m giving it a go anyway - perhaps a question you can address on tomorrow’s live chat. I have an Axiom display connected to my boat’s WiFi. My iPad is also connected to that same WiFi network, but I am unable to remote control the Axiom from the iPad with this configuration. The RayControl app is unable to find the Axiom. I know I can create a separate WiFi network on the Axiom and connect the iPad to that, but then I have no internet access. What I want to achieve is to enable remote controlling of the Axiom from the iPad and simultaneously have internet access on both units. How can I set that up?
Hello Rune. I do monitor for questions an all of the prior videos. Thanks for posting! The RayControl app only works when connected directly to Axiom's Wi-Fi. It can't connect through an external network, even if Axiom is also joined to that same external network. Axiom can actually maintain dual connections in that manner. One for devices connected to it, like your iPad for remote control and navigation data sync, as well as a connection to an external network for its own internet access.
Excellent! Glad you found the answer. For anyone else reading the comments, Yes...The CPT-S transducers can work with the Axiom 12+ RV. You'll just need to add a transducer adapter cable A80490. That drops the back of the Axiom RV from a 25-pin connector to a 9-pin connection to accept the CPT-S transducer. The CPT-S transducers support the High CHIRP (170-230 kHz) channel only. They are great for depth sounding, basic fish finding, and reading bottom density. We use them alot on cruising powerboats, sailboats, RIBs and dinghies that aren't primarily concerned with fishing.
The first time the Axioms are turned on together, during the startup sequence they'll prompt you to select one to be the data master. If you want to change it afterwards you can do so by going into Axiom's Network menu. Go to Home...Settings....Network. There will be a roll-call list showing all of your Axioms and most of your other network hardware. The Axiom currently set as the master will have the annotation (DM) after its name. To set a different one as the master simply long-press on it and select Assign As Data Master from the list of options. It is very important to understand the function of the data master display. The datamaster is the primary display on the network and should be the display that is also connected to the SeaTalkng ® / NMEA 2000 network and any other sources of data in your system. The datamaster bridges the data over the ethernet network to any compatible networked ‘repeater’ displays. Most importantly, the data master is the screen inside which all of your waypoints, routes, tracks, custom screen layouts, and custom settings are stored. All of your other screens receive this information from the data master at startup. This part is SUPER IMPORTANT if you are changing data masters!!!! Back up your waypoints, routes, tracks and system settings BEFORE you switch data masters. Remember, the original Data Master has all of that stuff in its memory. The other displays do not. If you make a different display the master, it has none of that information stored inside to share back with the other screens. As soon as the new "empty" display becomes the data master, anything previously stored in the old data master will be wiped out. You'll need to restore your backup files to the new data master to ensure you do not lose anything valuable you have saved.
Im in the process of a new boat build(small boat 21ft cc Rock Proof Boats, jetboat).... I'm very interested in learning more about digital switching using Czone and also engine information integration with Rotax Jetmotors. I would love to get rid of all the switches and gauges at the helm.
Hi Boyd. CZone is a great way to control all of the electrical loads onboard your boat. You'd need to start the process with the CZone team who can best advise you which modules you'd need for your setup. Once the CZone system is up and running its fairly easy to control it on Axiom. We support C-Zone plug-and-play which can auto-populate Axiom with basic touch-controlled switches based on the profile built into the C-Zone modules. Getting engine data from BRP/Rotax motors is possible, though it requires some 3rd party hardware to re-format some of the data. Rotax uses a proprietary engine data bus language called BRP CAN. Yacht Devices is a 3rd party manufacturer of interfacing gear that offers a BRP CAN to NMEA2000 gateway. You can find out more about it here: www.yachtd.com/news/bombardier_brp_rotax_1504_4tec.html Once the BRP CAN data is converted, Axiom can read it as standard NMEA2000 engine data.
Hello Glen. The Axiom Pro MFDs are current and are not scheduled to be replaced anytime soon. We recently made some hardware and software updates to the all-touch Axiom lineup, called Axiom+. The trio of Axiom models were the oldest in the lineup and did not benefit from the latest IPS display technology and storage memory updates the Axiom Pro and Axiom XL models have. That upgrade addresses those issues to bring the smallest 3 Axiom screen sizes closer into line with the standard capabilities of Axiom Pro and Axiom XL.
I am adding a Quantum 2 radar with an Axiom + MFD to my boat. For Doppler and MARPA functions, I understand that I need a fast heading sensor. I am not planning to upgrade the ST 6002 Autopilot and as such I wonder if the AR200 rather than the EV1 would be suitable? You mention that there is a separate GPS in the AR200 that can be used as a supplement to the integrated GPS of the Axiom. Does this apply to the EV1 heading sensor as well? Does the RV version of the Axiom + have any forward looking sonar capability?
Hello Ian. Yes, the AR200 is a good choice to provide the fast heading output recommended for doppler radar and MARPA. The fast heading sensor also will give you access to the stabilized radar PPI on Axiom. Plus, if you choose to add a CAM210 or CAM220 IP camera at any point, you could take advantage of Axiom's Augmented Reality capability too.
No. Axiom units should be networked to each other using the RayNet wired Ethernet network. This ensures they always have a reliable connection with maximum bandwidth. The Wi-Fi access point on Axiom is used to connect it to the internet, connect it to a Smartphone or table running Raymarine or Navionics apps, or to link to a wireless Quantum radar.
Hello Sukhu. I am sorry to hear it is giving you trouble. First, I would try to completely power down the display by either unplugging it, or disconnecting power from the circuit breaker or battery switch. Then restart so the system is coming up from cold. If that does not improve things, you might try temporarily disconnecting everything from the display including removing any map cards. Start it back up, bare, and see if it starts. If you can get it to start up and be stable, then I would re-connect accessories and charts. Worst-case, if you can get it to be stable while bare, you can perform a factory reset. Home...Settings....This Display and then scroll to the bottom. In the event some kind of settings glitch or software fault is causing the issue, you can reset it to its out-of-the-box configuration. This will eliminate any waypoints and routes though.
There is also a Power-On reset option, but it too will eliminate any saved waypoints, routes, tracks and settings. Here is the process for an Axiom, Axiom+ or Axiom XL (products with touch only, no buttons) 1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display. 2. Power on your MFD, and within approximately 10 seconds, swipe your finger from right to left (opposite direction to powering on) across the Power button swipe area 5 times. Recovery options are displayed. 3. Swipe your finger from right to left twice to highlight Wipe data/factory reset. 4. Swipe your finger from left to right once to accept. 5. Swipe your finger from right to left once to highlight Yes. 6. Swipe your finger from left to right once to restore your MFD to factory default settings. 7. When Data wipe complete is displayed, swipe your finger from left to right to restart your MFD. Here is the process for Axiom Pro, which has buttons: 1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display. 2. Within approximately 10 seconds of powering on your MFD, press and hold the Back and Switch active buttons until the screen goes black and the Raymarine logo appears. The MFD will boot into Recovery mode. 3. Use the directional controls to highlight Wipe data/factory reset. 4. Press Ok. 5. Select Yes to restore your MFD to factory default settings. 6. When ‘Data wipe complete’ is displayed, select Reboot system now.
Hello Mubeen. You would need to contact our local agent in Bahrain for pricing. Elcome International WLL #44, Al Bader Building 346, PO Box 55114, Area 317 Road 1705, Manama, Bahrain O: +973 1753 2610
Thanks for choosing Raymarine! I don't have the ability to trade it out for you, but, your Axiom 7 is networkable with the 9-inch. The benefit of combining them is the ability to run 2 full-screens of chart, sonar, etc.
Your particular Axiom model does not have a built-in sonar. On its own, there is no place to connect a transducer. There are a couple of ways you can add fish-finding capability to your system: 1. Purchase an external sonar module and transducer and network them to your Axiom using a RayNet Ethernet cable. Your Axiom is compatible with our CP100, CP200, CP370, CP470, CP570 and RVX-1000 sonar modules. Of these, the RVX-1000 provides all of the capability of the Axiom RV (RealVision 3D) models, plus it adds a 1kW CHIRP sonar too, equivalent to what is built into the Axiom Pro RVX series models. 2. If you are thinking of ever adding a second Axiom to your boat, make that one with sonar built-in and connect a transducer to it. When that Axiom is networked with your original, the sonar is accessible on both units.

Thank you for a clear honest presentation.
My pleasure!
Jonathan le ur raymarine norcal regional pro ambassador team member has been extra helpful 😉
He has spent hours and hours with me going over all my electronics. I really owe Jonathan something special for all of this.
Jonathan is a great guy and extremely knowledgeable about the products. I'm glad he was able to work with you!
I'm in the process of adding a second transducer to my Axiom. The section on the Y-Cable with a Airmar 50/200 was on point and very much appreciated! Good stuff, thanks for these webinars!
Glad you could join us! The dual-transducer y-cable is a great feature that really expands the capability of Axiom RV models.
Keep these coming! Enjoy learning about how to use my axiom and other products you offer!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you! You made me aware that I have TWO network ports on my Axiom Pro. I just ordered the RMK-10 and the HS5 and two Raynet cables. I am just in time to cancel the order of the switch and one of the two cables!
Glad I could help!
Omg the axiom pro looks good
Thank you for watching!
Keep these videos coming - very helpful...
Thanks, will do!
Keep them coming for sure, Thanks
You bet
Fantastic- Raymarine is great 👍
We agree!
Raymarine Axiom owner viewing from Australia.
Hi Chris. Thanks for watching!
If we are using the Axiom 7RV plus as chartplotter only would it draw more power than the Axiom 7 plus MFD only, i.e. do additional onboard electronics on RV model draw more power if no transducers are plugged in?
Without transducers disconnected, the power draw for the RV vs. Chartplotter versions is nearly the same. The internal sonar will switch to "no ping" mode so it won't try to transmit anything. For reference, the Axiom+ 9 Chartplotter version draws 8.95 Watts, where the RealVision model draws 11.98 Watts. That is with the display at full brightness, sonar transmitting (RV), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled.
Very interesting. Really enjoyed this presentation and previous presentation on networking. We have just purchased a new boat with Axion display...have not had time to figure out all the features so these two presentations havebeen very useful. We would like to see presentation on Raymarine RADARs and latest issue of Lighthouse 3.
Thanks for watching, Borys. Congratulations on the new boat purchase. For radar information you might find this webinar from our 2020 season helpful: th-cam.com/video/LnkucGlDfvg/w-d-xo.html
We'll try to do a new show this season on radar too, along with some coverage of new LightHouse 3 features.
thank you! I am looking at getting an Axiom + 9. This was very helpfuly!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info. Nice equipment. I have an aciom 9 rv and cant seem to get it going. I have used it twice and then it sat for months. I supply power, green power illuminates, backlight illuminates black screen with tiny color lines, doesnt respond to touch, never starts up. Im lost. Please advise. Very frustrating.
Hi Joe. I would double-check that Axiom is getting the proper voltage at the end of its power cable. Unplug and check across the 2 largest sockets on the power cable to make sure you are getting 12-volts to the end of the cable. Normally that LED is red when the unit is turned off, and white when it is on. If the power looks good and it still won't turn on, there is a system reboot you could also try:
1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in
Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display.
2. Power on your MFD, and within approximately 10 seconds, swipe your finger from right to left
(opposite direction to powering on) across the Power button swipe area 5 times.
Recovery options are displayed.
3. Swipe your finger from right to left twice to highlight Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Swipe your finger from left to right once to accept.
5. Swipe your finger from right to left once to highlight Yes.
6. Swipe your finger from left to right once to restore your MFD to factory default settings.
7. When Data wipe complete is displayed, swipe your finger from left to right to restart your MFD.
If you need help with this, or if it is unsuccessful, please get it touch with our support team at raymarine.custhelp.com or give us a call at 1-800-539-5539.
Thanks for the video. We are thinking about upgrading to Axiom+12 from C90W.
Which products below we have can not be used with the Axiom?
C90W (as a second screen?)
RD418HD - 18” 4 kW Digital Radome Antenna.
ST60+Wind
ST60+Tridata
Smart Pilot X5 wheel with ST6002
AIS650
Hello Shungo. Thank you for watching! You are in luck in that everything on your list will work with Axiom.
The RD418HD radar is still compatible and will connect to Axiom through the Raynet high speed Ethernet network.
Your ST60+ instruments and wheel pilot can communicate with Axiom too. You will need to add our E22158 SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter kit to your network. This small devices bridges the older-generation SeaTalk 1 information to the newer SeaTalk Next Generation (NG) network used by Axiom.
Your AIS650 AIS receiver will also plug directly into the SeaTalk NG network, into one of the white spur connections.
Does the 1kw transducer on the Pro RVX have to be a chirp transducer or can it be to a 1kw 50/200?
Hello Richie. You can use a non-CHIRP transducer on it if you'd like. You will need a transducer adapter pigtail to make the connection as the pin-out of the non-CHIRP transducers is different. The non-CHIRP transducers have an 8-pin connector. Axiom Pro RVX has an 11-pin CHIRP connector. The adapter part number is A80496.
@@Raymarine thanks a lot, ordered now!
@@Raymarine okay so i got that adapter cable, and used it to mount the airmar tm258 transducer but the axiom doesnt seem to detect it. Maybe they are not compatible?
On the Axiom XL you showed, where is the transducer connection?
Axiom XL screens do not have built-in sonar, so there is no transducer connection on them. Instead, they will be networked to an external sonar module (RVX-1000, CP470, CP570, etc.) or networked to another Axiom display that has built-in sonar (Axiom+RV, Axiom Pro RVX, etc.)
Axiom XL screens have lots of other multimedia connections on them in place of the transducer connection. These include HDMI input and output and touchscreen input and output. They allow you to remote control other touch-capabile devices, or, remote control Axiom XL somewhere else on the boat with an HDMI touch monitor.
Another great video, thanks!
I bought the axiom9+ RV version, but have a sail boat, so the rv100 is of no use. Is there an adapter cable so that I can install a 600w inhull reservoir transducer?
And if I have a wifi q2 radar and want to add a video connection, do I still need the HS5?
Many thanks
Hello Ralph. You can use adapter part number A80489, which is an Axiom RV 25-pin to CP370/Airmar 7-pin transducer adapter cable. Use that with transducer E66008, which is an Airmar P79 adjustable in-hull transducer. Its a 600-watt, dual frequency (50/200kHz) reservoir style transducer.
That adapter cable shuts off the Downvision, Sidevision, 3D and CHIRP and activates the Axiom RV's secondary 600-watt digital sonar.
The Quantum 2 radar could be connected using Wi-Fi to your Axiom+ screen, leaving the RayNet ethernet port on the back of Axiom open for a camera connection. If you wanted to plug in the radar and the camera you would need the HS5.
@@Raymarine thankyou so much for your clear answers.
@@Raymarine btw? Can I use the A80446 Cpt-S In-Hull Chirp Transducer 170-230 Khz?
Is there a way to use the Raymarine network to monitor the boat's systems when the boat is left at the dock?
I wonder that too. Garmin has a plug and play product that let you expose your boats nmea2k and Garmin network to the internet for remote access to all kinds of data. I've seen nothing similar for Raymarine.
That leaves us with homebrewed solutions eg signalk and nmea2ethernet bridges.
Hi Deric. I can't speak about unreleased products here on TH-cam, but know that we are always innovating and working on many new things to make the boating experience even better. What kinds of data would you like to be able to see from home? What kinds of things would you want to control remotely?
@@Raymarine Mostly thinking about my batteries, provided they are linked to the nmea2000.
Hello...when connecting the Axiom 7 (or+7) into the SeaTalkng network, do you use the blue backbone bable or the white spur cable?
Hi David. The white spur cable is always used to connect a device to the backbone. The backbone cables (blue) only connect to other blue backbone connections. Axiom's power cable has a NMEA2000 DeviceNet connector on the cable. If you are running to a STNG network you will need to adapt it using part number A06045 (400mm long) or A06075 (1 meter long) to make that connection.
I have a Raytheon 650 autopilot that uses the NMEA0183 to my MFD E120. The Axiom Pro has the NMEA0183 connection on the back, but the Axiom Plus does not. Does that mean that the Autopilot would better with the Pro? I would prefer the Plus. However, will any of the Axiom units take all the data like sonar from my SeaTalk and NMEA0183? I like to keep the E120 and make it work with the Axiom, would this work? What else do you recommend to make it all work with my system?
Hello Louie. Only the Axiom Pro has support for NMEA0183. That format is quickly disappearing from modern electronics, and being replaced with NMEA2000. There are 2 ways you could do this:
1. Connect the NMEA0183 input and output of the RayPilot 650 to the NMEA0183 input and output of the Axiom Pro. This would give you basic connectivity so Axiom can send data to the pilot for steering. Axiom would get back heading information from the autopilot.
2. Add a SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter (E2158) to your RayPilot network, and connect the converter into a SeaTalk NG network with both of your Axiom displays and any other new accessories you have. This would be the preferred way of doing it. This device does the necessary translation between the older Seatalk 1 format the RayPilot speaks and the newer SeaTalk NG/NMEA2000 format used by Axiom.
Your old E120 display also has a SeaTalk 1 connection. It would also be able to communicate through the interface.
Any SeaTalk data available on that network would be available to Axiom, and vice-versa.
I will offer some realistic caution here though. The Raypilot650 and the E120 are both very, very old now. When you combine together very old and very new systems like this, even using converters and such, there are often trade-offs when it comes to functionality. Not knowing exactly what you have now, and how it is wired, it is very difficult to predict exactly what level of smooth, seamless integration you will achieve. There may be advantages to just connecting the Raypilot system to Axiom through the converter, but leaving the E120 isolated on its own, or even not integrating any of it and keeping the older gear as-is, with Axiom running separately.
I strongly suggest chatting with a local electronics installer, or giving our support team a call to talk it through in detail.
@@Raymarine thanks for the info. If I wanted to upgrade my Raytheon autopilot 650 to the newer versions to interact with Axiom, what must be changed to make it work; Navigation Computer, Compass, etc? Also, I have a Carver 444 with twin Cummins 370 engines. Which of your autopilots is the best unit for it. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jim, I have been using multiple axioms in my setup for many years and have had a major irritation for a long time - when I navigate a route, while tracking (which we do for many hours), to advance a waypoint will need three pushes of a button. Restarting XTE will also take three clicks from the main map view. Would it not be possible to either define one or more hot keys, similar to selectable data or move these two functions at least to the first screen after pressing the three stripes, or even to the main (map) screen? This problem is worsened because the axioms do not find their position within a route (as competitors do), but after selecting a new route, it always starts at the beginning, necessitating one or more “advance waypoint” presses. Is there an address where I can discuss these issues? Kind regards, David Zimmerman
Hello David. When you pull up a route onto Axiom's chart display, but before engaging it in navigation, you can long-press on either the waypoint you want to begin navigation from, or the leg you want to start at, and then select FOLLOW ROUTE from the menu that pops up. It will then ask if you want to start from the beginning, or from that leg/waypoint specifically. That will bypass any of the prior waypoints in the sequence, and prevent you from needing to make multiple presses of the "Advance Waypoint" function.
I will put in a product suggestion to our MFD software team asking them to look at making the Advance Waypoint and Restart XTE buttons more accessible. I do understand its a commonly used function, and minimizing the number of presses or touches to get to them would be highly desirable. For example, on Axiom Pro, Axiom 2 Pro and RMK-10 systems there are user-programmable buttons. Currently "Advance Waypoint" is not one of the selections that can be assigned to it. Restart XTE is an option for that button.
Feel free to drop me an email if you wish to discuss this in more detail. james.mcgowan@raymarine.com comes directly to me.
My boat has a 2011 Airmar thur hull transducer. I installed all Axiom system with the RV100 and I'd like to be able to use the old Airmar transducer as well. What cable should I use with my RV100 and Airmar B60-20 (PN 31-556-2-01)? Thanks
Hi Ed. If you have an Axiom RV or Axiom+ RV model you can use part number A80491 to attach both your RV100 and the B60 to your display. That part is a Y-Cable. It plugs into the 25-pin transducer port on Axiom RV or Axiom+ RV and gives you dual transducer connections. There is a 25-pin socket for the RV100, plus a 7-pin socket that fits your B60 transducer.
With this connector in-place, the high CHIRP Sonar channel on your Axiom RV is disabled, and replaced by the 50 kHz and 200 kHz digital channels from the B60 transducer.
You didn't mention specifically which Axiom-series product you have, so let me warn you (and anyone else reading this) that this particular Y-Cable and split-transducer setup only works with Axiom RV and Axiom + RV models. It does not work with Axiom Pro RVX or the RVX-1000 sounder module.
Hi I have a 2023 beneteau oceanis 46.1 and two screen raymarine ais 700
I had a problem of wind data receive and also some times dissapearing depth data so I called service of Raymarine. As a result it is said that we have two screen with two antenna and the one of the antenna should be closed for not to cause confusuion of the machine. Is it really true??
Or is there any other problem with my electronic??
I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. You have some odd things happening there. Its not clear to me why there are 2 antennas in play, or what difference it would make to wind or depth. I'd like to get one of our support technicians in touch to talk through this with you. Would you be able to send me an email with your contact details and location? You can reach me at james.mcgowan@raymarine.com.
I'm looking to upgrade from E90-W. My current Raydar VCM100, Smart Pilot X-Can, and DSM 300 seem to all use SEATALK HS. So do you agree I would be able to use the existing components on a new Axiom product?
Hello Bill. Everything you mention here is compatible with Axiom aside from your DSM300 sonar module. That sonar unfortunately doesn't work with Axiom. Its transducers however, can be connected to an Axiom Pro RVX, or a CP370 sonar module. VCM-100 is part of your open-array radar, which is Axiom compatible. The Autopilot system can communicate with Axiom using SeaTalk NG networking.
SeaTalk HS is equivalent to what we now call RayNet. Both are high-speed Ethernet. We improved the waterproofness of the cable connectors between product generations, but the underlying network technology is the same. We offer adapters that will allow you to use the existing SeaTalk HS cables run through your boat and connect them to the RayNet sockets on new generation products.
@@Raymarine Thank you for the reply, Your answer sure makes an upgrade to axiom more of a reality. These videos have been very helpful
Is raymarine coming out with something like livescope or livesight ? And wil it be usable with element ?
Hello Klass. I'm not allowed to speak about unreleased products on here. Do know that Element units in general are not expandable. They do not have RayNet networking on in them like their Axiom counterparts have. They support radar (via Wi-Fi with a Quantum scanner) and integration with basic NMEA2000 devices like autopilot, instruments and VHF.)
Hello. First off, I love the webinars. Great info. So I’m redoing all the electronics on my 1996 Luhrs 32 convertible. Slowly as budgets allow. I have Axiom pro 16, cam 210 w/AR200, Rockford stereo etc. I am wanting to add a ACU-150. I don’t need a pump, but do I need the EV-1 or does the AR-200 take place like it does with GPS?
Hi Matt. Thanks for watching and for choosing Raymarine for your refit! You will need the EV1 sensor in your autopilot system. Though they look similar on the outside, and offer some similar capabilities, the EV1 and AR200 have different functions.
On any Evolution autopilot the EV1 (or EV2 on some models) is not only the compass sensor but also the brain of the entire pilot. It is the device that is actually doing all of the monitoring of boat motion, and sending commands to the drive unit to turn the boats rudders or drives.
The AR200 sensor doesn't have the autopilot brains inside, so can't be used in place of the EV1/EV2.
Jim, I'm running Axiom Pro 9 as Master at the SV Helm, I want/need a 2nd Axiom at the Salon's Nav Station. Do you foresee/anticipate any issue using just AxiomO instead of Axiom+ as a 2nd slave in any future implementation or development? Also, can the AxiomO use the Lighthouse and/or Navionics charts residing on the master Axiom Pro 9?
Thanks so much for doing outstanding Raymarine product shows.
Thanks for watching, Nat! You can mix and match any combination of Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL models. Just update the software so they are all on the same version. Charts are shared across the network and accessible on all Axioms on the RayNet Ethernet network.
Thank you for the videos....very informative and concise!! I have a question. I purchased a used boat recently and it came with an Axiom 9+ I believe....it is approximately 3 years old. On the chart plotter, the symbol of my boat shows up rotated 180 degrees from what it actually is. This is frustrating as I like the head-up display...so obviously my chart is then upside down; and it basically shows my boat going in reverse. I have searched through all of the settings and can't find a way to change this. Any insight you could give would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Hello Joe. It sounds like you have an autopilot or electronic compass attached to the system that needs calibrating. The boat icon moves across the chart by GPS, but if a compass is present, that is used to orient it to the heading being reported. If you take a look at your autopilot controller, or open the Heading databox and compare it to the boat's Course Over Ground while moving, I think you'll find a big disparity between the values.
@@Raymarine Thanks so much for the quick response! I will try that the next time I am at the boat.
I'm having issues. I have a Axiom RXV 12 Pro, less than a year old.. The knob stopped working, it will not zoom in or out.The indexing part works(up, down, left and right). Also i had a Quantum2 radar installed 2 months ago and the Doppler stopped working. Would it be the radar dome or could it be an issue with the Axiom 12 RXV Pro
Hi Steve. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble. I think you have 2 different issues going on. The rotary knob on the Axiom Pro should be looked at by your local dealer or our repair center. I suspect something has gone awry inside of it with the encoder that detects the rotation of the knob. Being so new that should be an in-warranty repair. If you need assistance contacting our repair center please shoot me an email. james.mcgowan@raymarine.com.
The Doppler mode not working on your Quantum 2 radar is not an error I have heard of before. Please check these items:
1. Doppler mode won't work unless the Axiom has a GPS position fix as the Doppler processor in the radar must know the boats Course Over Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground (SOG) which come from the GPS. Please confirm that you have a valid GPS fix.
2. Though not required, it is highly recommended to have a source of compass heading feeding the system. This could be from a connected autopilot system, from a heading sensor or electronics compass (our EV1 heading sensor) or from our AR200 Augmented Reality sensor. The heading source is recommended because GPS cannot provide an accurate Course Over Ground signal when the boat is stationary or at very slow speeds. If you don't have a heading sensor of some kind connected, do try enabling Doppler mode once the boat is moving as the GPS COG should kick in to allow it.
Doppler Mode is switched on or off in the radar's main menu. WIth the radar app open touch Menu....Doppler and make sure it is switched on. Quantum 2 offers a non-Doppler mode too.
You might also want to check which color palette you have selected as there are several different options available, and some of them look a bit different from the standard on. Menu...Settings...Presentation....and on there you'll see your color palette choices. Doppler Grey is the default selection, but there are also Doppler Blue and Doppler Yellow options. The Doppler Yellow, in particular, might make it appear like the radar is not in Doppler mode as the contrast between the colors (yellow for stationary items, red or green for moving) is not quite as great as the other selections.
I’ve just purchased a 9+ with RV for my sailboat, I want to add a forward looking sonar to help when navigating in shore rocky areas to anchor, what’s my best transducer option and would I be able to remove my depth sounder and user the new transducer as I do not want more holes in the hull, (2nd hole in for speed already)
Hello Mark. We don't currently have a forward looking sonar in our lineup. Our Axiom systems offer SideVision, Downvision and 3D sonar, but none of them look ahead of the boat.
Ok, thanks I can just hope that Raymarine release one for the future; would axiom work with a B&G forward looking sonar as those guys have this technology?
My Axiom doesn’t have the transducer plug, it’s blanked. Can I add a transducer to it ..?
Hi Andy. Your Axiom is likely one of the Axiom "chartplotter" models I mentioned in the broadcast. It does not have the built-in sonar so the transducer port is capped off. You can add sonar capability to your system using an external sounder module though and networking it via RayNet fast Ethernet. Our CP100, CP370, CP470, CP570 and RVX-1000 sonars will all work with your Axiom.
Great. Thx
Hi, with Axiom XL what would be the best way to plug up an external port for a UAV connection whilst still having the external card reader? Thanks
Hi Adam. With Axiom XL only, you have an advantage because that screen has both a micro USB accessory port (for the card reader or drone) as well as a full-sized USB Type-A port normally used for the Axiom XL's touchscreen pass-through features. In this case use the microUSB port for the connection to your drone's controller, and use a regular USB SD or microSD card reader plugged into the USB-A port to access your charts.
Thanks, for flush mount MFD what accessories would I need to give access to both two ports at the helm?
Hello and thank you for thesr videos, I recently bought a Quantum doppler radar. I have axom + R can I just plug into MFD and power ? (no other devices at this time) will I have all functions from the Quantum. Thank you. Ray
Thanks for watching! The Quantum 2 Doppler Radar is fully compatible with your Axiom. Run the network cable from the scanner to the network port on your Axiom. Connect the radar's power cable to your power source and you're done. No other devices are needed to make it work.
Something to consider for the future, but not required, is to add a heading sensor to your system. If you have an autopilot now you have this covered already. Othewise, you could add a pilot, or just the compass sensor itself. Giving the radar a heading signal from the compass will improve the accuracy of its collision avoidance tools (MARPA and ARPA) and will enable a mode called Stabilized PPI that allows the radar scope to rotate freely as the boat changes heading. Adding the heading sensor also allows you to use Doppler mode when the boat is stationary.
@@Raymarine Thank you ! I have a older CPT auto pilot can this work with my system
I have a 12" element. I mostly troll the great lakes. Do you know if arimar makes a transducer with a wider cone angle than the transducer that comes with the unit?
Hi Michael. Element systems can only be configured with Raymarine HyperVision or CPT-S transducers. Airmar transducers won't work with Element. Have you tried trolling in 3D mode? That combines the Sidevision and Down Vision channels together into a composite 3D image that is nearly 180 degrees wide.
I added two new transducers and in the interim I had to replace my batteries right after the install so my displays were never turned on because of dead batteries. When I replaced the batteries my axiom did not read the new transducers. I also need to do a software upgrade so when I do the upgrade will the system find and read the new transducers? If not what do I need to do to get them to connect to new transducers?
Axiom should read the new transducers, with or without the software upgrade. What transducers did you add, and are they connected directly to Axiom, or are they connected to a sonar module like CP370, 470, 570, etc? Do make sure that module is powered on if that is the case.
I would proceed with the update, and see if they are detected afterwards. If they are not, I suggest backing up your waypoints and routes then doing a factory reset on Axiom. Let it boot up and then hopefully detect the new transducers. You can then restore your settings and data.
@@Raymarine I had the b175hw and b175l put in w CP470/570dual transducer y cable. Good point that maybe the CP470 was never turned on since the batteries were dead.
Hopefully you're back up and running now, but if not, feel free to shoot me an email. james.mcgowan@raymarine.com
@@Raymarine I did as I uploaded the updated software but I still had tech come out and walk me through the system. I have some more questions but will email you directly!
Can Axiom interface with forwardscan transducers? For that matter does Raymarine have a forwardscan transducer lineup? I would definitely like to see more product information aimed at cruising yachts.
Hi Donovan. Raymarine doesn't currently offer a forward-scanning sonar. There are some products on the market that offer forward-looking sonar with video output that can be connected to Axiom Pro or Axiom XL's analog video input. EchoPilot is one example. We've had feedback from many customers who have gone this route and seem to like it.
Would my Mainship 34T, which has a canvas-enclosed bridge, need a remote GPS antenna? My current double E80's use an antenna outside the canvas envelope.
Hi Ross. I would consider adding the external antenna on your setup just to be certain you are getting the best signal possible. In most cases the internal GPS antennas would be fine on a boat with a canvas top, but it sounds like your scenario takes it a step further, with full enclosure. GPS receivers have become much more sensitive since the E80 units were made, but at the same time the full enclosure is going to make signal acquisition more challenging. If the canvas is wet, that would take it 1 step farther. There are several ways you could add the external sensor that won't add much cost, and could add more capability too. For example our AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor Module has both a GPS and precision compass inside. It would give you both feeds to Axiom, plus you could add Augmented Reality cameras later if you wanted. With an enclosed bridge they would help with blind spots too. Feel free to snap a few photos of your helm and bridge and I would be happy to comment further. james.f.mcgowan@raymarine.com is my email.
@@Raymarine Hi James: I sent you an email with my further questions. Thanks. Ross
So I have a full raymarine setup but am distrustful of anything Wifi honestly. I have a Raymarine C80, and an older raymarine radar but wanted to upgrade to an element or Axiom but was worried that I wouldn't be able to connect my old radar or that I would need to upgrade.
Wifi connections for a safety device is kinda scary for me, I would rather hardline connect to my radar. Also in the previous video you said the element systems can't connect to your new radars. Is that correct?
Thanks for watching!
If you go with an Element-series display, the only radar option for it is a Wi-Fi connected Quantum radar. Element does not have a wired network option for radar. Technically you can connect either the Quantum or the Quantum 2 Doppler radar to an Element, however, the Element display does not support the Doppler features of the scanner so it makes more budgetary sense to go with the standard Quantum so you are not paying extra for features you can't use.
If you choose Axiom as your display, you can connect a Quantum or Quantum 2 radar either using Wi-Fi, or with a traditional cable. Axiom support the full radar feature set, so if you choose a doppler radar, you'll have full access to it.
If I have two Axiom + displays, am I obliged to have two Lighthouse cards or can one card be used to load charts onto both displays?
Hi Ian. Your Axiom displays will share chart data from a single map card if you link them together with a RayNet cable. The network also lets them share radar, sonar, instrument data, camera video and more.
Can the Axiom XL be mounted in portrait orientation?
Hi Mark. Our user-interface only supports Landscape orientation currently.
hi i have purchased a axiom 12 pro rvm .been told i need to conect a 1600 rvm 3d with rv420 tranducers 600 watts ( pair ) to make it work its best set up .please can you help with connections and info .thanks Steve
Hello Stephen. If you are looking at the Axiom 12 Pro RVM you do not need an RVM-1600 3D module. The same capabilities provided by the RVM-1600 are already built into Axiom 12 Pro RVM models. The pair of RV420 transducers will first connect to each other with an included Y-Cable, then the pair will connect directly to the 25-pin transducer port on the back of the Axiom 12 Pro RVM display. If you send me an email to james.mcgowan@raymarine.com I can try to locate a diagram for you showing the connections.
Can Emtrak AIS A100 having NMEA0183 output be interfaced with axiom pro so that I can use the ais data as well on the radar for a better surface picture?
Hello Ashish. Yes, sir. Axiom Pro has an NMEA0183 input and it can be configured for AIS reception. The NMEA input and output lines are part of its power cable bundle. In the MFD's settings you'll want to configure the NMEA port to run at 38,400 baud, which is normally the standard for AIS. You'll see it in there.
Hello, I have an Axiom Pro 9 and a GS150 External Antenna. I am having trouble locating it on my display. I only see the Internal GPS. Antenna is mounted on a Radar Arch inside of a "dummy" KVH satellite antenna case. Could this be causing the signal to be non-existent? My previous GPS on my older Ray RL70 system worked fine inside the case. Which is why I mounted it there. Thanks
Hello Eddie. The GS150 is an auxiliary antenna for your Axiom Pro's built-in GPS receiver. Instead of trying to read the GPS signal through the top of the MFD and its front glass, the GPS signals enter the system at the RS150.
The GPS source and signal strength is still reported as the "internal GPS." It does sound like for whatever reason, the dummy antenna dome is reducing the signal quality. If you have the option of testing at the dock, call up the satellite status page and make a comparison of the signal strengths with the dome cover on vs. off.
@@Raymarine Hello, So that I understand correctly, Even if I have a GA150 external antenna it will still read as Internal on the network page? Is that correct? I remember reading that you would have to change the settings from internal to external when I was doing research. Thanks
That is correct. The GA150 is an external aerial that pulls signal from the air into the internal GPS receiver. Plugging in the GA150 also bypasses the micro-antenna that is built-in behind the screen glass. Think of the GA150 as being like the antenna on the roof or fender of your car that feeds the AM/FM radio. The GA150 is really a "dumb" device and does not do any processing. The internal GPS is still doing all the processing.
An external sensor would be something like the Raystar 150 GPS sensor or the AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor. These units look similar to GA150 but are different inside. They are "smart" devices with a full GPS antenna and receiver subsystems inside the puck. They output a fully formatted NMEA2000 or Seatalk NG stream to the network that contains GPS position, course over ground, speed over ground, time, date, etc.
How do I connect to the new Yamaha helm master ex autopilot to raymarine axiom xl
Hello Richard. Helm Master EX integration with Axiom XL uses a special Multifunction Display Interface kit (MFDI) and NMEA2000 gateway to make its connection to Axiom XL. Both of these are Yamaha parts, available from your local Yamaha dealer. The MFDI kit is part number 6YM-8A201-00 and the gateway is part number 6YG-8A2D0-11. Both of these devices connect to the Yamaha Command Link network, then the gateway connects to the boat's NMEA2000/SeaTalk NG network. The MFDI connect via HDMI to Axiom XL's input. Our support team can give you more detailed setup information over at raymarine.custhelp.com
@@Raymarine thank you for your help. I would like for you to explain what does this setup have for features
Can the AR 200 be pole mounted like the GPS 150?
Yes it can. We offer a pole-mount adapter kit for it, part number A80370.
what is the SD card size that the Axion 9 E70366 1080071 will read?
Our Axiom units work with MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC cards.
Across those cards there is a wide range of sizes from 4 GB up to 2 TB in size. Any size in the range will work. 32 GB and 64 GB are readily available, fairly inexpensive and work well for most applications.
The largest card you can use in an Axiom is a MicroSDXC card with 2 Terrabytes (TB) of storage, formatted in exFAT format.
We recommend that any card you use in Axiom be rated at Class 10 or Ultra High Speed class, or better. We also recommend using name-brand card media rather than some of the mystery alternatives available online.
There is a detailed breakdown of the 3 card types, sizes, and card formatting requirements on page 56 of the LightHouse 3 Advanced Operating Manual, available online here:

I’m not sure if you still monitor old webinars, but I’m giving it a go anyway - perhaps a question you can address on tomorrow’s live chat. I have an Axiom display connected to my boat’s WiFi. My iPad is also connected to that same WiFi network, but I am unable to remote control the Axiom from the iPad with this configuration. The RayControl app is unable to find the Axiom. I know I can create a separate WiFi network on the Axiom and connect the iPad to that, but then I have no internet access. What I want to achieve is to enable remote controlling of the Axiom from the iPad and simultaneously have internet access on both units. How can I set that up?
Hello Rune. I do monitor for questions an all of the prior videos. Thanks for posting!
The RayControl app only works when connected directly to Axiom's Wi-Fi. It can't connect through an external network, even if Axiom is also joined to that same external network. Axiom can actually maintain dual connections in that manner. One for devices connected to it, like your iPad for remote control and navigation data sync, as well as a connection to an external network for its own internet access.
@@Raymarine Thank you for your reply. These webinars, and your continued support after, are extremely useful! Thanks again.
Will the CPT-S transducer work with the Axiom 12+ rv?
Also if I chose to go with the non rv model, could I still have a transducer to give me basic info such as depth?
Question answered
Excellent! Glad you found the answer. For anyone else reading the comments, Yes...The CPT-S transducers can work with the Axiom 12+ RV. You'll just need to add a transducer adapter cable A80490. That drops the back of the Axiom RV from a 25-pin connector to a 9-pin connection to accept the CPT-S transducer.
The CPT-S transducers support the High CHIRP (170-230 kHz) channel only. They are great for depth sounding, basic fish finding, and reading bottom density. We use them alot on cruising powerboats, sailboats, RIBs and dinghies that aren't primarily concerned with fishing.
If you have 3 axioms, how do you make one the master?
The first time the Axioms are turned on together, during the startup sequence they'll prompt you to select one to be the data master.
If you want to change it afterwards you can do so by going into Axiom's Network menu. Go to Home...Settings....Network. There will be a roll-call list showing all of your Axioms and most of your other network hardware. The Axiom currently set as the master will have the annotation (DM) after its name. To set a different one as the master simply long-press on it and select Assign As Data Master from the list of options.
It is very important to understand the function of the data master display. The datamaster is the primary display on the network and should be the display that is also connected to the SeaTalkng ® / NMEA 2000 network and any other sources of data in your system. The datamaster bridges the data over the ethernet network to any compatible networked ‘repeater’ displays. Most importantly, the data master is the screen inside which all of your waypoints, routes, tracks, custom screen layouts, and custom settings are stored. All of your other screens receive this information from the data master at startup.
This part is SUPER IMPORTANT if you are changing data masters!!!!
Back up your waypoints, routes, tracks and system settings BEFORE you switch data masters.
Remember, the original Data Master has all of that stuff in its memory. The other displays do not. If you make a different display the master, it has none of that information stored inside to share back with the other screens. As soon as the new "empty" display becomes the data master, anything previously stored in the old data master will be wiped out. You'll need to restore your backup files to the new data master to ensure you do not lose anything valuable you have saved.
Im in the process of a new boat build(small boat 21ft cc Rock Proof Boats, jetboat).... I'm very interested in learning more about digital switching using Czone and also engine information integration with Rotax Jetmotors. I would love to get rid of all the switches and gauges at the helm.
Hi Boyd. CZone is a great way to control all of the electrical loads onboard your boat. You'd need to start the process with the CZone team who can best advise you which modules you'd need for your setup. Once the CZone system is up and running its fairly easy to control it on Axiom. We support C-Zone plug-and-play which can auto-populate Axiom with basic touch-controlled switches based on the profile built into the C-Zone modules.
Getting engine data from BRP/Rotax motors is possible, though it requires some 3rd party hardware to re-format some of the data. Rotax uses a proprietary engine data bus language called BRP CAN. Yacht Devices is a 3rd party manufacturer of interfacing gear that offers a BRP CAN to NMEA2000 gateway. You can find out more about it here: www.yachtd.com/news/bombardier_brp_rotax_1504_4tec.html
Once the BRP CAN data is converted, Axiom can read it as standard NMEA2000 engine data.
@@Raymarine Thank you!
When will the new axion pro be released?
Hello Glen. The Axiom Pro MFDs are current and are not scheduled to be replaced anytime soon. We recently made some hardware and software updates to the all-touch Axiom lineup, called Axiom+. The trio of Axiom models were the oldest in the lineup and did not benefit from the latest IPS display technology and storage memory updates the Axiom Pro and Axiom XL models have. That upgrade addresses those issues to bring the smallest 3 Axiom screen sizes closer into line with the standard capabilities of Axiom Pro and Axiom XL.
I am adding a Quantum 2 radar with an Axiom + MFD to my boat. For Doppler and MARPA functions, I understand that I need a fast heading sensor. I am not planning to upgrade the ST 6002 Autopilot and as such I wonder if the AR200 rather than the EV1 would be suitable?
You mention that there is a separate GPS in the AR200 that can be used as a supplement to the integrated GPS of the Axiom. Does this apply to the EV1 heading sensor as well?
Does the RV version of the Axiom + have any forward looking sonar capability?
Hello Ian. Yes, the AR200 is a good choice to provide the fast heading output recommended for doppler radar and MARPA. The fast heading sensor also will give you access to the stabilized radar PPI on Axiom. Plus, if you choose to add a CAM210 or CAM220 IP camera at any point, you could take advantage of Axiom's Augmented Reality capability too.
Can 2 axiom connect via wifi?
No. Axiom units should be networked to each other using the RayNet wired Ethernet network. This ensures they always have a reliable connection with maximum bandwidth. The Wi-Fi access point on Axiom is used to connect it to the internet, connect it to a Smartphone or table running Raymarine or Navionics apps, or to link to a wireless Quantum radar.
Next gen Axiom Pro needs USBC with video output/input. The hardware and software can support it.
This is a great suggestion, Phillip. I will make sure our product team sees it.
How do i get compass without buying auto pilot
You can add just the EV-1 heading sensor or the ACU200 Augmented Reality module to your network. Both of those devices have a built-in compass.
@@Raymarine thank you

Hi Jim
My Axiom display keep restarting
Before it began restarting suddenly there was a message that communications or I think it said connection lost
Know I can't do anything because the display keep restarting
Can anyone help me out
Hello Sukhu. I am sorry to hear it is giving you trouble. First, I would try to completely power down the display by either unplugging it, or disconnecting power from the circuit breaker or battery switch. Then restart so the system is coming up from cold.
If that does not improve things, you might try temporarily disconnecting everything from the display including removing any map cards. Start it back up, bare, and see if it starts.
If you can get it to start up and be stable, then I would re-connect accessories and charts.
Worst-case, if you can get it to be stable while bare, you can perform a factory reset. Home...Settings....This Display and then scroll to the bottom. In the event some kind of settings glitch or software fault is causing the issue, you can reset it to its out-of-the-box configuration. This will eliminate any waypoints and routes though.
There is also a Power-On reset option, but it too will eliminate any saved waypoints, routes, tracks and settings.
Here is the process for an Axiom, Axiom+ or Axiom XL (products with touch only, no buttons)
1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in
Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display.
2. Power on your MFD, and within approximately 10 seconds, swipe your finger from right to left
(opposite direction to powering on) across the Power button swipe area 5 times.
Recovery options are displayed.
3. Swipe your finger from right to left twice to highlight Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Swipe your finger from left to right once to accept.
5. Swipe your finger from right to left once to highlight Yes.
6. Swipe your finger from left to right once to restore your MFD to factory default settings.
7. When Data wipe complete is displayed, swipe your finger from left to right to restart your MFD.
Here is the process for Axiom Pro, which has buttons:
1. Switch off power at the breaker to ensure that the MFD is completely powered off, and not in
Standby mode. Alternatively, remove the power cable from the display.
2. Within approximately 10 seconds of powering on your MFD, press and hold the Back and Switch
active buttons until the screen goes black and the Raymarine logo appears.
The MFD will boot into Recovery mode.
3. Use the directional controls to highlight Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Press Ok.
5. Select Yes to restore your MFD to factory default settings.
6. When ‘Data wipe complete’ is displayed, select Reboot system now.

You have an incredible system on a truly beautiful boat. Thank you for sharing with us all.
I have 6month old Axiom 7 dv, can i maybe send you and replace it for 9inch? :)
Thanks for choosing Raymarine! I don't have the ability to trade it out for you, but, your Axiom 7 is networkable with the 9-inch. The benefit of combining them is the ability to run 2 full-screens of chart, sonar, etc.
@@Raymarine i know that, but i have space only for one :(
So if I only have axiom 9 model e70366 chart plotter I can't hook up a fish finder transducer , is that true??
Your particular Axiom model does not have a built-in sonar. On its own, there is no place to connect a transducer.
There are a couple of ways you can add fish-finding capability to your system:
1. Purchase an external sonar module and transducer and network them to your Axiom using a RayNet Ethernet cable. Your Axiom is compatible with our CP100, CP200, CP370, CP470, CP570 and RVX-1000 sonar modules. Of these, the RVX-1000 provides all of the capability of the Axiom RV (RealVision 3D) models, plus it adds a 1kW CHIRP sonar too, equivalent to what is built into the Axiom Pro RVX series models.
2. If you are thinking of ever adding a second Axiom to your boat, make that one with sonar built-in and connect a transducer to it. When that Axiom is networked with your original, the sonar is accessible on both units.
