Serious Tech for the Serious Offshore Angler. We take a look at the Raymarine Axiom Pro Display

With a marine navigation legacy that goes back 80+ years, Raymarine has built a reputation for easy-to-use, rugged, reliable marine electronics. The Raymarine Axiom Pro line of multifunction displays puts responsive visual navigation at your fingertips. And the Raymarine Axiom Pro is giving offshore anglers even more options on a bigger, brighter screen.

Here’s a look at this premium all-in-one display and what it has to offer. 

Pro Is A Bigger, Better Axiom

Like earlier Axiom editions, the Raymarine Axiom Pro is a fully networkable boat management system. Its quad-core processor is lightning fast. There are 16 Gigabytes of internal memory and two MicroSD card slots. It’s also WiFi and Bluetooth compatible. 

The Axiom Pro offers an easy to use, interactive screen with excellent viewing angles. It comes in three models and sizes: 

  • Axiom Pro 9 has a 9″ display
  • Axiom Pro 12 has a 12.1″ display
  • Axiom Pro 16 has a 15.6″ display

All three have Raymarine’s HybridTouch control. It combines responsive touch screen controls with an ergonomic keypad. That ensures easy operations even on rough seas.  

Power of Raymarine Axiom Pro

The benefits of having this tech onboard don’t stop with bigger screens. The Pro is fully compatible with Raymarine’s other powerful transducers and input devices.

Transducers

When it comes to transducer there is options for all anglers and budgets from the RV-100 transom mount for smaller boats that offers high chirp, side scan and 3d view to the RV- 200 through hull 1KW transducer that offers variable chirp, side and down scan also 3d vision.

The Axiom Pro has RealVision 3D Sonar with GPS Track. It lets you create precise, accurate 3D models of the underwater world. You get true clarity so you can easily identify submerged structures and see the fish swimming in real-time. 

Fully Functional Navigation Hub

As if that weren’t enough to make the Raymarine Axiom Pro one of the best tools for anglers and boaters, it can also be the hub of your navigation network. Its built-in GPS has outstanding mapping options. Expand its capabilities with additional Axiom displays, radar, Evolution autopilot, FLIR thermal night vision technology, and more.
