Raymarine Axiom MFD – 7, 9, 12-Inch Chartplotter & Sonar Options

The Raymarine Axiom MFD range gives boat owners a choice of 7-, 9-, or 12.1-inch touchscreen displays with built-in GNSS, LightHouse software, and integrated sonar options. Depending on the size and transducer selected, the system can provide traditional CHIRP, DownVision, SideVision, or RealVision 3D. This range suits small coastal boats through larger cruisers that want one Raymarine platform to grow with the boat.

The 7-inch model is easier to fit on a compact console, while the 12-inch version offers 1280 x 800 resolution and more room for split-screen work. Traditional sonar output is listed at 600W, with maximum depth depending on the connected transducer. LightHouse, Navionics, and C-MAP support give chart flexibility, while NMEA 2000, SeaTalkhs, WiFi, and Bluetooth connect the MFD to the wider system. A transducer is essential for the sonar functions, so the bundle choice matters.

Who Is This For?

This Raymarine chartplotter and sonar range suits small center consoles, sailboats, cruisers, and offshore boats. It is not ideal to choose by screen size alone; the transducer and Axiom version determine which sonar views are actually available.

The Axiom range is the flexible Raymarine choice because the display size and sonar package can be matched to the boat. The trade-off is that the model and transducer must be chosen together; not every Axiom setup provides RealVision 3D or SideVision. Choose it when you want a scalable Raymarine chartplotter system, not a one-size-fits-all bundle.
