Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 16 RVM Chartplotter/Fishfinder – No Transducer

Same RealVision MAX sonar engine and 6-core processor as the Axiom 2 Pro 9 RVM, just on a 15.6-inch Full HD display instead of 9 — the electronics inside are identical, the screen real estate is the entire difference, and for a lot of buyers comparing these two, that’s the only decision that actually matters.

Key Features

- 15.6″ HydroTough IPS touchscreen at 1920×1080 Full HD — nearly double the diagonal of the 9-inch Axiom 2 Pro, enough for three-panel layouts without cramming.
- RealVision MAX (600W CHIRP) plus a separate 1kW dual-channel CHIRP — identical sonar engine to the smaller Axiom 2 Pro 9 RVM.
- 6-core processor — same processing platform across the whole current Axiom 2 Pro line, not scaled down for the larger screen.
- 64GB internal storage — matches the 9-inch model, plenty of room for charts and waypoint logs regardless of display size.
- HydroTough nano-coated screen — same glare and fingerprint resistance as the smaller unit, just across more surface area.

Who This Is For

Fits anglers who’ve already decided the Axiom 2 Pro RVM platform is right for them and want the largest screen the line offers — a primary helm display on a boat with real console space, or a build where the 9-inch model would feel cramped for split-screen chart-and-sonar work. It’s not worth the jump if console space is limited; the 9-inch model runs identical sonar processing for meaningfully less footprint and cost.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatible: NMEA 2000 devices, SeaTalkNG networks, additional Raymarine Axiom displays and Raymarine radar/sonar modules over RayNet. Same limitation as the 9-inch Axiom 2 Pro RVM: no transducer included, and RealVision MAX imaging only activates with an RVM-compatible transducer — not an older Raymarine CHIRP-only unit.

Against the Axiom 2 Pro 9 RVM, this is purely a screen-size decision — the sonar engine, processor, and storage are the same. Pick the 16 when the helm has room for it and split-screen layouts matter; pick the 9 when console space or budget is the tighter constraint.
