Raymarine AXIOM+ 12, Multi-function 12" Display

Raymarine AXIOM+ 12, Multi-function 12" Display is the next generation of the award-winning Axiom series, engineered for speed, responsiveness, and ultimate clarity. At its core is a powerful quad-core processor that ensures fluid chart redrawing and instantaneous response times, even when running multiple apps or complex sonar.

The standout feature of the Axiom+ is the upgraded IPS display. With 25% more brightness than previous models, it remains perfectly visible in direct sunlight. Combined with the innovative HydroTough™ nano-coating, the screen is impact-resistant and repels water and oils, ensuring your touch controls remain accurate even in the roughest, wettest conditions.

Running on the intuitive LightHouse 3 operating system, the Axiom+ 12 is remarkably easy to use, allowing you to customise your helm with the data that matters most to you—from radar and AIS to engine diagnostics and entertainment.

Raymarine AXIOM+ 12, Multi-function 12" Display FAQs

What makes the Axiom+ different from the original Axiom?

The Axiom+ is a performance-tuned upgrade. It features a HydroTough™ display (nanocoated, impact-resistant glass that repels water and oil), a significantly brighter screen (1,800 nits), and a faster quad-core processor for smoother chart redraws.

Can I use the touchscreen with wet hands or gloves?

Yes. The HydroTough™ coating is specifically designed to handle touch commands accurately even when the screen is splashed with saltwater. It also supports touch-in-all-weather, though heavy winter gloves might still require the optional RMK-10 remote keypad for precision.

Is the Axiom+ 12 sunlight-readable?

Absolutely. With an 1,800-nit high-brightness display and IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology, the screen remains clear even at extreme angles and through polarized sunglasses.
