Raymarine Element 7 S Combo w/Lighthouse North America Chart

The Raymarine Element 7 S is a compact chartplotter and fishfinder with LightHouse North America Charts, a 7-inch optically bonded LCD, keypad controls, and built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar. NMEA 2000 and WiFi networking are included in the specification, and Quantum radar compatibility gives the unit a clear expansion path for smaller coastal boats and fishing vessels.

Key Features

- 7-inch optically bonded LCD – Provides a compact, readable display for charts and sonar.
- 800 x 480 WVGA resolution – Keeps the unit easy to install while showing essential navigation information.
- Built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar – Supports fishfinding with a compatible transducer.
- LightHouse North America Charts – Provides preloaded chart coverage for supported North American waters.
- Keypad controls, NMEA 2000, and WiFi – Provides physical operation and confirmed connection options for a compact Raymarine system.

Who Is This For?

This model suits small center consoles, coastal fishing boats, bay boats, and cruisers that prefer keypad control over touchscreen operation. The optically bonded display and compact size suit a helm where installation space is limited.

It is not ideal for buyers who want a larger high-resolution screen or a complete transducer bundle, because the supplied specifications do not identify a transducer as included. It also provides less sonar capability than units with SideScan or DownScan listed.

Compatibility

Confirmed compatibility includes LightHouse North America Charts, NMEA 2000, WiFi, Quantum radar, and built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar. The supplied information does not identify specific compatible transducer models, NMEA 0183, autopilot, or third-party chartplotter systems. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Raymarine accessory and network requirements before installation.

The Element 7 S is the straightforward Raymarine choice for buyers who prefer physical keypad operation and need a compact display with preloaded North American charts. Its main advantages are simple control, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Quantum radar compatibility. The trade-off is the single-channel High CHIRP sonar and the lack of a listed included transducer, so it is less suited to buyers seeking a complete multi-view sonar bundle.
