Raymarine Axiom 12 RV MFD, 12 in Touchscreen, RealVision 3D, 600W Sonar, No Chart

Overview

The Raymarine E70369 is a 12-inch Axiom 12 RV multifunction display with built-in RealVision 3D and 600 W sonar, supplied without a chart card and without a transducer. It gives the helm a large touchscreen for chartplotting, fishfinder views, radar control, instruments, cameras, audio, and compatible autopilot functions in one Raymarine network.

The display uses a 1280 x 800 WXGA screen with 1200-nit illumination, which helps with readability in open cockpit and flybridge installations. Its IPX6/IPX7 waterproof rating suits exposed marine mounting positions where spray, rain, and washdowns are part of normal use.

For integration, the unit includes RayNet Ethernet, NMEA 2000/SeaTalkng connectivity through the supplied cable, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 25-pin RealVision transducer connection. It runs from a 12 V DC supply with an 8 to 16 V DC operating range and calls for a 7 A fuse or thermal breaker.

Key features

• 12-inch Axiom 12 RV touchscreen MFD for chartplotting, sonar, radar, instruments, cameras, audio, and compatible autopilot control.
• Built-in RealVision 3D and 600 W sonar for use with a compatible transducer.
• Supports CHIRP conical, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision 3D sonar channels.
• 1280 x 800 WXGA display with 1200-nit illumination for helm use in daylight.
• IPX6/IPX7 waterproof rating for installations exposed to spray, rain, and washdowns.
• Built-in GNSS receiver with GPS, GLONASS, and Beidou support.
• RayNet Ethernet and NMEA 2000/SeaTalkng integration for building out a Raymarine electronics network.
• Supplied without cartography or a transducer, so charts and sonar hardware can be matched to the vessel and cruising area.

Installation and fit

The Axiom 12 RV can be used in flush, surface, rear, or trunnion-style helm installations depending on the console layout and available space. Before cutting a panel or choosing a bracket location, allow room behind the display for cable bend radius, access to the power and network connections, and a clear operating position for the touchscreen.

This unit is a practical match for center consoles, pilothouse helms, flybridges, and larger sailboat nav stations where a single screen needs to carry navigation and sonar duties. It also works well as part of a multi-display Raymarine setup when a second station or larger network is being added.

Electrical and system integration

The supplied Power/NMEA 2000 cable combines the power lead and the NMEA 2000 connection, which keeps installation cleaner at the back of the display. The NMEA 2000/SeaTalkng connection lets the display share data with compatible instruments, AIS, engines, audio systems, and autopilot components, while RayNet Ethernet handles high-bandwidth accessories such as radar and networked displays.

Use a properly protected 12 V DC marine power circuit and follow normal marine wiring practice for cable routing, strain relief, and corrosion control. The unit has a NMEA 2000 LEN value of 1, which is useful when checking total load on an existing backbone.

Sonar and navigation

The built-in RealVision 3D sonar platform lets the display serve as a fishfinder and structure-imaging screen once a compatible transducer is added. Because this package does not include a transducer, the transducer can be selected around the hull type, mounting method, depth needs, and fishing style instead of being locked to a bundled option.

The built-in GNSS receiver supports GPS, GLONASS, and Beidou, giving the display its own positioning source for chartplotting and waypoint work. Cartography is not included with this version, so a compatible chart card should be selected for the boat's operating region.

Maintenance and care

For routine care, rinse salt and grit from the screen with fresh water before wiping it down. Use a clean microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, since trapped salt crystals and harsh products can mark the glass over time. Check cable connections during seasonal service, especially on open helms where moisture and vibration can work on connectors.
