Raymarine RV-300 Series Plastic Thru-Hull Transducers, For Axiom+ RV, Axiom Pro and RVX-1000 Sonars, RealVision 3D

Overview

The Raymarine RV-300 Series is a range of plastic through-hull RealVision 3D transducers for Axiom+ RV, Axiom Pro, and RVX-1000 sonar systems. These transducers combine high frequency CHIRP fish targeting, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision 3D sonar in a low-profile through-hull body, giving boaters a more complete view of fish, structure, bottom shape, and the water around the hull.

The series covers 0°, 12°, and 20° offset configurations, so the transducer can be matched to the hull form rather than installed with a fairing block. The RV-300 unit uses an 8 m extension cable, while the port and starboard split-pair transducers use 2 m extension cables. Each transducer body measures 310.50 mm long, 106.70 mm wide, and 166.00 mm high including the cable bend radius.

For marine installation, the plastic through-hull body is suitable for fiberglass, steel, or aluminum hulls. The housing carries IPx6 protection for exterior hull surfaces, plus IPx7 and IPx8 ratings, and the operating temperature range is -2° C to +55° C.

Key features

• Plastic through-hull RealVision 3D transducer range for Axiom+ RV, Axiom Pro, and RVX-1000 sonar systems.
• Combines CHIRP sonar, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision 3D channels in one through-hull sonar installation.
• Built-in AHRS helps stabilize 3D sonar imagery as the boat moves through waves, swell, or turns.
• Built-in fast response water temperature sensor supports depth and temperature monitoring from the same transducer installation.
• Offset options include 0°, 12°, and 20° versions for matching common through-hull mounting angles.
• Low-profile plastic body suits fiberglass, steel, and aluminum hulls and helps reduce drag around the installation point.
• Sonar range reaches up to 274 m for CHIRP, 183 m for DownVision, and 91 m for SideVision and RealVision 3D.
• Meets EN 60945:2002 and IEC 28846:1993 standards, with IPx6, IPx7, and IPx8 environmental protection ratings.

Variants

The RV-300 Series is offered in single, port, starboard, and pack configurations. The main differences across the range are the offset angle, the side of the hull the transducer is intended for, and the included cable set.

The 0° option is used for flatter mounting locations and is supplied as a single transducer with an 8 m extension cable. The 12° and 20° options are available as port and starboard transducers with 2 m extension cables, or as complete packs that include the matching pair with an 8 m extension cable and a 2 m Y-cable.

Installation and fit

This series is a good match for powerboats using Raymarine RealVision 3D sonar where a clean through-hull installation is preferred. The near-flush shape helps keep the installation practical for trailered boats and reduces the need for external fairing work when the offset is matched correctly to the hull.

Because the 12° and 20° systems use port and starboard transducers, the installer should confirm the hull deadrise and the correct side before final mounting. The pack versions simplify a paired installation by including the Y-cable needed to bring the port and starboard transducers into the sonar system.

Sonar performance on board

With CHIRP, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision 3D in the same product family, these transducers suit fishing, cruising, and general bottom awareness on inboard and outboard boats. The system gives useful detail when checking structure, bait, bottom contour, and fish targets while underway or working an area slowly.

The AHRS-assisted 3D view is especially useful when the boat is moving in real sea conditions, because it helps reduce image distortion caused by pitch, roll, and course changes. That makes the RV-300 Series practical for coastal fishing, offshore runs, and everyday sonar use where the water is rarely flat.

Compatibility notes

The RV-300 Series is intended for Raymarine Axiom+ RV, Axiom Pro, and RVX-1000 sonar systems. It is not the correct choice for Axiom DV or Axiom Pro S units, so the connected display or sonar module should be checked before ordering.
