Raymarine Element 7 S Sonar GPS MFD Display Unit

The Raymarine Element 7 S display-only unit is a compact GPS and fishfinder control head for small cruising sailboats, coastal day runabouts, small center consoles, and secondary cockpit stations. Its 7-inch high-bright optically bonded WVGA LCD, keypad controls, built-in High CHIRP sonar, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth provide a compact platform, but a transducer and detailed charts are not included.

Key Features

- 7-inch high-bright optically bonded WVGA LCD – Fits small helm spaces while providing a dedicated chart and sonar display.
- 800 x 480 resolution – Shows essential mapping and fishfinding data in a compact format.
- 100 watts RMS High CHIRP output – Provides the stated sonar power for conventional fishfinding with a compatible transducer.
- Keypad controls – Offers physical operation for wet conditions, gloves, and moving boats.
- NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth – Provides confirmed network and wireless connection options for a compatible Raymarine installation.

Who Is This For?

This model suits 15- to 22-foot sailboats, day runabouts, small center consoles, and owners adding a secondary cockpit display. Its compact size and physical controls are useful where dash space is limited.

It is not ideal for buyers looking for a complete package with a transducer and chart card. It also provides less screen space than the Element 9 S and less sonar capability than Raymarine models with SideVision, DownVision, or RealVision 3D.

Compatibility

Confirmed interfaces include NMEA 2000 through a Micro-C node, built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and the internal 200 kHz High CHIRP sonar platform. The supplied information does not identify specific compatible transducer models, radar, autopilot, NMEA 0183, or third-party chartplotter systems. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Raymarine accessory and network requirements before installation.

Warranty & Support

The supplied specifications do not state a warranty term for this display-only listing. Confirm the current Raymarine warranty coverage and exclusions before purchase.

The Element 7 S display-only unit is the smaller alternative to the Element 9 S, with the same basic High CHIRP focus but a lower space requirement. It adds confirmed NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth information, making it useful as part of a compact Raymarine setup. The trade-off is the 7-inch display and the need to purchase both a transducer and detailed chart coverage separately.
