Raymarine AXIOM+ 12 RV, Multi-function 12" Display with integrated RealVision 3D FAQs

Do I need a separate sonar module for the Axiom+ 12 RV?

No. The "RV" model has the sonar hardware built directly into the unit. You can plug a compatible RealVision 3D transducer straight into the back of the display to access 3D, Side, Down, and Conical CHIRP sonar.

What is the benefit of the HydroTough™ screen?

In the UK, we know that spray and rain are part of the job. HydroTough™ is a specialised coating that makes water bead off instantly, preventing the "phantom touches" or loss of control that often plague standard touchscreens when they get wet. It also makes cleaning off salt streaks and fingerprints much easier.

Can I use my existing Navionics or C-MAP charts?

Absolutely. The Axiom+ 12 RV is fully compatible with Raymarine LightHouse Charts, Navionics, and C-MAP. The powerful processor ensures that even high-detail vector and raster charts load and pan effortlessly.

Does the unit come with a transducer?

The Axiom+ 12 RV is available in several configurations. Some of our kits include the RV-100 transom-mount transducer, while others are "display only" to allow you to choose a through-hull or in-hull option. Please check the specific bundle details or speak to our team to ensure you have the right transducer for your hull type.

How does the "RealVision 3D" help me find fish?

Unlike traditional 2D sonar, RealVision 3D provides a "behind-the-boat" perspective of the seabed. It uses gyro-stabilised technology to compensate for the boat's movement, giving you a steady, life-like image of reefs, wrecks, and fish arches in three dimensions.

Is it easy to see at night?

Yes. The Axiom+ features updated LightHouse colour themes, including a dedicated "Night Mode" and "Dusk Mode" which reduces glare and preserves your night vision while you’re out on the water after dark.

Can I view the screen on my phone or tablet?

Yes, the Axiom+ has built-in Wi-Fi. By using the Raymarine Mobile App, you can mirror the display or even take full control of the MFD from your smartphone or tablet anywhere on the boat.
