Raymarine Axiom Pro 16 S Multifunction Display, CHIRP Sonar, HybridTouch, NMEA 2000, No Charts

Overview

The Raymarine E70483 is an Axiom Pro 16S multifunction display with a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS screen, built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar, HybridTouch control, and no transducer or chart card included.

This display fits boats where a large helm screen is needed for chartplotting, sonar, radar, AIS, autopilot control, cameras, and engine or vessel data. The 1920 x 1080 optically bonded display has 1,200 nits of brightness, so charts and data remain readable at an exposed console, flybridge, or pilothouse station.

It supports 12V and 24V DC systems with an 8V to 32V DC input range, and it connects into modern marine electronics through NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, RayNet Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and analog video input. The housing carries IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof ratings for helm locations that see spray, rain, and regular washdowns.

Key features

• 15.6-inch IPS optically bonded LCD with 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution and 1,200-nit brightness for use at exposed helm stations.
• HybridTouch interface gives touchscreen control plus keypad operation when the boat is moving or conditions make touch-only control less convenient.
• Built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar supports depth and bottom detail when paired with a compatible transducer and the required adapter where applicable.
• Quad-core processor supports fast chart redraws, split-screen pages, radar overlay, sonar views, and system data pages.
• NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity allows integration with compatible AIS, autopilot, instrument, and engine data systems.
• Two RayNet Ethernet ports support compatible Raymarine radar, additional displays, IP cameras, sonar modules, and networked accessories.
• Built-in GNSS receiver supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou with 72-channel tracking at 10 Hz.
• IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof ratings suit cockpit, center console, pilothouse, and flybridge installations exposed to spray and rain.
• Front-access microSD card slots support chart cards, software updates, and data transfer without reaching behind the helm.

Installation and setup

The Axiom Pro 16S can be surface mounted, flush mounted, or bracket mounted depending on the helm layout. Its flush-mounted dimensions are 452 mm wide by 258 mm high by 69 mm deep, with additional clearance needed behind the unit for cables and service access.

Because this version is supplied without a transducer and without charts, it is a practical fit for owners who already have compatible cartography, are matching the display to a specific transducer, or are building a larger Raymarine network around radar, autopilot, sonar, cameras, and vessel data.

Electrical and system integration

The 8V to 32V DC input range allows installation on 12V or 24V boats, including many center consoles, sportfish boats, cruisers, and sailing yachts. Network planning matters with a display of this size: allow space for the power, video, NMEA 0183, RayNet, DeviceNet, USB, transducer, and accessory connections before cutting the panel.

For networked electronics, the unit can share data through NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and RayNet. This makes it suitable as a main helm display or as part of a multi-display setup with compatible Raymarine radar, Evolution autopilot, AIS, sonar modules, and cameras.

Use cases on board

This MFD is a strong match for larger helm stations where the operator wants chart, radar, sonar, AIS, and system data visible on one screen. Fishing boats can use the CHIRP sonar capability with a compatible transducer, while cruisers and sailboats can use the display for routes, radar overlay, autopilot control, laylines, and instrument dashboards.

The keypad and rotary controls are useful on offshore runs, in rain, or when the boat is moving enough that touch-only control becomes less precise. At the dock, Wi-Fi and front microSD access make updates and chart management easier without dismantling the helm.
