Raymarine Axiom XL 16 3D CHIRP MFD Bundle, RVX1000, GA200 GPS Antenna, RCR-SD Card Reader, Alarm Module, LightHouse Charts North America

Overview

The Raymarine T70589 is an Axiom XL 16 and RVX1000 bundle for building a large-format navigation and sonar station around a 16-inch glass bridge multifunction display. It brings together the Axiom XL 16 display, RVX1000 3D CHIRP sonar module, GA200 external GPS antenna, RCR-SD card reader, external alarm module, alarm/video input cable, and LightHouse Charts North America chart card in one matched package.

The Axiom XL 16 runs on 12 V or 24 V DC systems, has an IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof rating, and uses a 15.6-inch IPS touchscreen with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 1300-nit illumination. The display supports networked helm layouts through three RayNet PoE Ethernet ports, HDMI input and output, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, analog video input, and external storage through the included remote card reader.

The RVX1000 module adds RealVision 3D, CHIRP SideVision, CHIRP DownVision, low-power high-frequency CHIRP, and 1 kW dual-channel CHIRP sonar capability when paired with a compatible transducer selected separately. This makes the bundle a strong match for offshore fishing boats, cruising powerboats, and larger helm installations where charting, sonar, GPS, video, and alarms need to work together from one main display.

Key features

• 16-inch Axiom XL glass bridge display with a 15.6-inch IPS touchscreen, 1920 x 1080 resolution, and 1300-nit illumination for open cockpit and enclosed helm use.
• IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof rating on the display for installations exposed to spray, washdowns, and changing marine weather.
• 12 V and 24 V DC compatibility with an 8 V to 32 V DC operating range, useful for refits and mixed vessel electrical systems.
• RVX1000 sonar module supports RealVision 3D, CHIRP SideVision, CHIRP DownVision, and up to 1 kW CHIRP sonar output with the correct transducer.
• Three RayNet PoE Ethernet ports, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, HDMI input and output, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support expanded electronics networks at the helm.
• GA200 external GPS antenna helps maintain positioning performance when the display is flush mounted, installed under hardtop structure, or placed where internal reception may be limited.
• RCR-SD external card reader gives the helm a practical way to access chart cards and data when the display is mounted in a fixed glass bridge layout.
• External alarm module and alarm/video input cable support audible alert integration and additional video input wiring for a more complete navigation station.
• LightHouse Charts North America card includes coverage for North America and a 1-year LightHouse Charts Premium subscription.

Installation and setup

This bundle suits a planned helm installation rather than a simple standalone chartplotter swap. The Axiom XL 16 can be flush mounted or surface mounted, and the included remote card reader is useful when the display face is built into a dash or glass bridge panel. Allow space behind the display for the cable bend and service access, especially when using RayNet, HDMI, power, NMEA, video, and alarm connections together.

The RVX1000 is a black box sonar module, so it can be mounted away from the display in a dry, accessible equipment area while the transducer wiring and network connection are routed to suit the boat. A compatible transducer is still required for sonar operation, so transducer selection should be matched to the hull type, mounting style, depth targets, and fishing use.

Compatibility and system integration

The Axiom XL platform works well as the center of a Raymarine network with radar, sonar modules, cameras, additional Axiom displays, autopilot integration, and vessel data. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support help it connect with common marine sensors and legacy equipment, while HDMI input and output allow the display to work with external screens or supported video sources.

For boats with a larger electronics plan, the value of this bundle is in having the display, sonar module, GPS antenna, card reader, alarm module, video/alarm cabling, and chart card grouped together. It reduces the chance of missing key accessories during a refit and gives installers a clearer starting point for a helm that handles charting, sonar, positioning, data, and alerts.
