Overview

The Raymarine E70371 is a 9-inch multifunction display with built-in RealVision 3D sonar, a separate 1 kW CHIRP sonar channel, and HybridTouch control, sold here without charts preloaded. It gives you one screen for navigation, fishfinding, and system control, which is useful on boats where helm space is limited but the network still needs to cover radar, autopilot, AIS, cameras, and engine or instrument data.

For day-to-day use at an open helm, the screen runs at 1280 x 720 with up to 1300 nits brightness and 88 degree viewing angles. The housing is rated IPX6 and IPX7, and the power input range is 8 to 32 V DC, so it fits both 12 V and 24 V electrical systems without needing a separate voltage converter.

On the network side, it has dual RayNet Ethernet ports, NMEA 2000, dual NMEA 0183 ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, two front MicroSDXC card slots, and 16 GB of internal storage. The internal GNSS receiver tracks GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, and the RVX layout gives you a 25-pin RealVision transducer connection plus a separate 11-pin 1 kW sonar connection for boats that need shallow-water structure detail and deeper sounding from the same display.

Key features

• 9-inch IPS display with 1280 x 720 resolution, 88 degree viewing angles, and up to 1300 nits brightness
• HybridTouch control combines touchscreen use with keypad control when the boat is moving hard or the screen is wet
• Built-in RealVision 3D, DownVision, SideVision, and high CHIRP conical sonar through the 25-pin RealVision connection
• Separate 11-pin 1 kW sonar port reaches up to 914.4 m (3,000 ft) in optimum conditions with a compatible 1 kW transducer
• 8 to 32 V DC operating range works on 12 V and 24 V systems; fuse rating is 15 A
• Dual RayNet Ethernet ports, NMEA 2000, dual NMEA 0183 ports, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0 for network expansion
• Two front MicroSDXC card slots, 16 GB internal storage, and built-in GNSS support for GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou
• IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof rating with an operating temperature range of -25°C to 55°C

Compatibility and fit

This version is a good match when you want the Axiom Pro 9 RVX display but plan to add your own chart source rather than buy a chart-bundled package. For flush mounting, the front face measures 299.32 x 173.79 mm, and installation depth including cables is 234.9 mm. For bracket mounting, overall size is 329.5 x 186.2 mm with the same cable depth, which matters if the back of the helm is tight or the wiring has to turn immediately behind the unit.

For sonar setup, the built-in RealVision functions use the 25-pin RealVision connector, and CPT-S style transducers need the A80490 adaptor cable. The separate 11-pin 1 kW connection is there for boats that need a compatible deep-water transducer alongside the RealVision side of the system. No transducer is included in the box.

Installation and system integration

The included power, video, and NMEA 0183 lead helps when replacing an older multifunction display or tying the unit into external sensors, alarms, and video feeds. A RayNet network cable and a DeviceNet to SeaTalkng adaptor are also in the box, which cuts down the extra parts needed for many Raymarine network installs. NMEA 2000 load is LEN 1, so it is straightforward to budget on an existing backbone.

This screen size works well on center consoles, smaller pilothouses, sailing helms, and second stations where you want keypad access without giving up touch control. It suits crews that want one display to handle fishfinding and navigation together, and it also fits cruising boats that need charting, radar, autopilot, AIS, and camera feeds on a single networked MFD.
