What this model does - and what it does not
This listing covers the Axiom2 Pro S in 9 and 12.1 inch, with and without preloaded LightHouse charts. Everything below is from Raymarine's own published specification.
Included
- ✓HybridTouch - keys and glassA user-configurable physical keypad below the touchscreen, and up to sixteen simultaneous touches against the Axiom+ range's two. The keypad can be swapped for a dedicated Evolution autopilot keypad.
- ✓Two gigabit RayNet portsTen times the speed of the Axiom+ port, and two of them - so a radar, a networked sonar module, a camera and a second station can all coexist without a switch.
- ✓Six-core processor, 64 GB storageAgainst four cores and 16 GB on the Axiom+. Faster chart redraw, and room for far more cartography and logged track data on the display itself.
- ✓8 to 32 V dcRuns directly on a 24 V boat with no converter. Every other Raymarine display here is 8 to 16 V only.
- ✓Analogue video in, HDMI outA BNC analogue video input on the power cable for an existing camera, and HDMI out to repeat the display to a saloon or flybridge monitor. Neither exists on Axiom+.
- ✓Conical CHIRP sonar built inThe S carries a single conical CHIRP channel to 274 m on a 25-pin RealVision connector. The A80490 adaptor lets it drive a CPT-S transducer.
- ✓Autopilot controlRaymarine describes the Axiom2 Pro as combining chartplotter, fish finder, radar, autopilot and video in one, and offers a dedicated Evolution autopilot keypad for it.
- ✓Two card slots, front mountedTwo MicroSDXC slots on the front of the unit, so a chart card swap does not mean getting behind the panel.
Not supported
- ✗It is not the brightest screen we sellRaymarine publishes 1300 nits for the Axiom2 Pro 9 and 1200 for the 12, against 1800 nits for the Axiom+ 7 and 12. Buy the Pro for the processor, the ports and the keypad - not because it is a brighter display, because on Raymarine's own figures it is not.
- ✗No NMEA 0183NMEA 0183 does not appear anywhere in Raymarine's connections specification for the Axiom2 Pro. Older 0183-only instruments need a converter onto the NMEA 2000 bus.
- ✗S means one sonar channelThe S has a single conical CHIRP channel. RealVision MAX, the 1 kW port, DownVision, SideVision and 3D are all on the RVM models, which are a different part number.
- ✗No transducer in any kitRaymarine supplies no transducer with any Axiom2 Pro SKU, S or RVM. A CPT-S style transducer also needs the A80490 adaptor cable.
- ✗HDMI is output onlyYou can send the display to another screen. You cannot feed an HDMI source into it - that is an Axiom2 XL feature.
- ✗No published sonar power figure for the SRaymarine gives wattages for the RVM but none for the S, so we do not quote one. Dealer listings that state a figure for the S are not using Raymarine's data.
- ✗Raymarine publishes no weightThere is no weight row in the Axiom2 Pro physical specification on either the S or RVM pages, so we do not quote one.
What you get
Keys where you need them
HybridTouch puts a configurable physical keypad under the screen. In a seaway, in gloves, or with green water over the sprayhood, that keypad is the difference between usable and not.
Two gigabit ports
Radar, sonar module, camera and a second station all at once, on a backbone ten times faster than the Axiom+ can manage.
24 volt native
8 to 32 V dc straight off the boat's supply. No converter, no extra failure point, no voltage-drop headache on a long run.
Video in and out
A BNC analogue input for an engine-room or mast-head camera you already own, and HDMI out to a saloon monitor.
Reading a Raymarine part number
Raymarine publishes no decoding key. The mapping below is read straight off Raymarine's own variant lists, so it is reliable for the models we stock rather than a rule you can extrapolate to anything else.
Axiom2 Pro 9 S
Raymarine's own list runs E70653 and E70654 for the 9 inch S and RVM, E70655 and E70656 for the 12, E70657 and E70658 for the 16. Odd numbers are the S, even are the RVM.
Chart bundle marker
A bare part number ships with no cartography at all.
Chart region
-WEU is Western Europe and covers Great Britain and Ireland. -NEU is Northern Europe, which does not. -MED is the Mediterranean. Ignore any -102 listing you see online: that is North America and a US-market SKU.
Raymarine publishes no decoding key. This mapping is read straight off their own variant list, so it holds for the models we stock rather than being a rule you can extrapolate.

Fitting it
- Trunnion bracket and a surface or flush mounting gasket are both supplied in the box on Axiom+, Axiom2 Pro 9 and 12, and every Element. The Axiom2 Pro 16 is the exception - its trunnion bracket is the optional A80722 kit.
- Waterproof to IPx6 and IPx7 across all three ranges.
- Rated from -25 to +55 C in use, -30 to +70 C in store, and up to 93 per cent humidity at 40 C.
- The supplied cable carries power and NMEA 2000 together: 1.5 m of power lead and 0.5 m of NMEA 2000 lead on Axiom+ and Element.
- Check the depth behind the panel, not just the cut-out. Raymarine quotes Axiom+ depth including cables, and a right-angled power cable saves roughly 20 mm.
- Every one of these displays has a grounding point - an M3 screw, spring washer and crimp terminal are supplied for it.
NMEA 2000 basics
- SeaTalkng is Raymarine's own connector system for NMEA 2000. Electrically it is NMEA 2000, and a DeviceNet adaptor cable is supplied in the box so it will join a standard backbone.
- Load Equivalency Number is 1 for Axiom+, Axiom2 Pro and Element - each display draws one LEN from the backbone.
- None of these displays has an NMEA 0183 port. An older DSC VHF, AIS unit or instrument head that only speaks NMEA 0183 needs a converter onto the NMEA 2000 bus before it will talk to the plotter.
- A backbone wants a terminator at each end and one power injection point, with a spur running off it to each device. Spur length is limited, so plan the run before you buy cable.
Every Raymarine chartplotter we stock
Live prices and the figures each model actually publishes. Where Raymarine does not publish a value for every model in this table the row is left off entirely rather than shown with gaps - which is why weight and autopilot control are absent, as Raymarine states neither for the Axiom+ range.

Choosing a Raymarine chartplotter
Three questions that decide which Raymarine you should be looking at. Every figure below is Raymarine's own published data - where they do not publish something, we have left it out rather than guess.
Charts: Western Europe, not Northern Europe
Raymarine sells the same display with and without cartography, and the regional names are actively misleading if you sail from a British port.
- LightHouse Charts Western Europe covers Ireland, Great Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia.
- LightHouse Charts Northern Europe covers Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia.
- A display bought without a chart card is a plotter with no chart on it. Raymarine labels those kits, in their own words, Charts not included in this kit.
- Every LightHouse region ships with a free year of the Premium subscription; renewal runs through chartmanager.raymarine.com.
- Axiom and Element displays also accept Navionics and C-MAP cartography on a microSD card.
Do you want sonar, or only a chartplotter?
This is the one that catches people out on the Axiom+ range, and it cannot be fixed later.
- Axiom+ 7 (E70634) and Axiom+ 9 (E70636) have no transducer connector at all. Raymarine calls them chartplotter-only display variants - they cannot be turned into fishfinders by adding a transducer.
- Axiom+ 7 RV (E70635) carries the 25-pin RealVision connector and four sonar channels built in - but no transducer in the box.
- Axiom2 Pro S has a single CHIRP conical channel. Axiom2 Pro RVM adds RealVision MAX plus a separate 1 kW transducer port.
- Element S is one conical CHIRP channel. Element HV adds DownVision, SideVision and RealVision 3D in both 350 kHz and 1.2 MHz forms.
Will the system ever grow?
Networking is where these three ranges genuinely separate, and it is decided on the day you buy the display.
- Element has no RayNet port. Its only radar is a Quantum over Wi-Fi, with no Doppler and no MARPA target tracking, and it cannot drive a second station or a camera.
- Axiom+ has one 10/100 RayNet port and drives both Quantum 2 and Cyclone radars.
- Axiom2 Pro has two gigabit RayNet ports, a six-core processor and 64 GB of storage.
- Only Axiom2 Pro has an analogue video input, and only Axiom2 Pro has HDMI out to repeat the screen to a saloon or flybridge monitor.
