Raymarine Axiom 12 Suncover, Front Mount, Non-Pro

Overview

The Raymarine A80503 is a suncover for a non-Pro Raymarine Axiom 12 display when the unit is installed with a front mounting kit. It is made for the specific front-mounted Axiom 12 setup, so it helps avoid the loose fit or awkward alignment that can happen when a cover is used on the wrong mounting style.

This cover is used when the display is not in operation, helping shield the screen from UV exposure, cockpit glare, salt spray residue, dockside dust, and incidental contact around the helm. The listed package size is 1 inch high by 9 inches wide by 14 inches long, with a package weight of 0.85 lb, which makes it a straightforward replacement or spare to keep aboard.

Key features

• Fits Raymarine Axiom 12 non-Pro displays installed with the front mounting kit.
• Protects the display screen when the MFD is not in use at the dock, at anchor, in storage, or between trips.
• Helps reduce exposure to UV light, spray residue, dust, and accidental contact around open helm stations.
• Useful as a replacement for a lost cover or as a spare for boats that keep electronics exposed in the cockpit or console.
• Package dimensions are listed as 1 inch high by 9 inches wide by 14 inches long, with a package weight of 0.85 lb.

Compatibility and fit

This suncover is for the standard Axiom 12, not the Axiom Pro series. It is also specific to front-mounted installations, so it should be matched to boats where the Axiom 12 is installed with Raymarine's front mounting kit rather than a different bracket or mounting arrangement.

Use on board

At the helm, a display cover is a simple piece of protection that makes sense on fishing boats, cruising boats, center consoles, pilothouses, and sailboats with exposed electronics. It is most useful when the boat is sitting in direct sun, when washdowns leave salt on nearby surfaces, or when crew and gear move around the console.

Care and handling

Fit the cover when the display is clean and dry enough that grit will not be trapped against the screen. Remove the cover before running at speed or trailering the boat, since wind load can dislodge loose accessories. Rinse salt from the cover as part of normal helm cleanup and let it dry before longer storage.
