Overview

The Raymarine A80500 is a front mounting kit with suncover for the Raymarine Axiom 9 multifunction display. It gives the Axiom 9 a cleaner front-mounted finish at the helm, console, or electronics panel, while the included suncover helps protect the display face when the unit is not in use.

This kit is made for the 9-inch Axiom touch screen multifunction navigation display. It is a practical replacement or installation accessory for boats where the display needs to sit neatly in the dash rather than on a bracket, with trim pieces that finish the visible edge of the installation in black.

Key features

• Fits Raymarine Axiom 9 touch screen multifunction navigation displays.
• Supports a front-mount installation for a cleaner dash or console appearance.
• Includes two black trim pieces to finish the visible edges around the display.
• Includes a suncover to protect the screen area when the display is off or the boat is docked.
• Useful for helm upgrades, replacement installs, and refits where an Axiom 9 is being mounted into a panel.

Installation and fit

This is a fit-specific mounting accessory, so it should be matched to an Axiom 9 display before cutting or modifying a dash panel. It is most useful when the display location has already been planned around the Axiom 9 body and the goal is a tidy front-mounted finish rather than a yoke or surface bracket arrangement.

Before installation, check the available clearance behind the console, the cable routing path, and the viewing angle from the helm. A dry fit is worth doing on fiberglass, aluminum, or composite panels so the trim sits evenly and the suncover can be fitted and removed without interference from nearby switches, gauges, or electronics.

Use on board

The kit suits center consoles, pilothouse helms, flybridge stations, and sailboat nav areas where the Axiom 9 is part of the main navigation setup. The front-mount format keeps the display integrated into the panel, which helps reduce clutter around the helm and gives the installation a finished look.

The suncover is especially useful on boats stored outside or at the dock, where the display is exposed to sunlight, spray residue, dust, and general cockpit grime between trips. It is a simple piece of protection that helps keep the screen area covered until the display is ready to be used again.
