Overview

The Raymarine A80498 is a front installation kit for mounting a 7-inch Raymarine Axiom display from the front of the dash or console. It is made for installations where access behind the panel is limited, or where a cleaner helm face is preferred over a bracket-mounted display.

The kit is supplied in black and includes the front mount adaptor, two bezel pieces, four self-tapping screws, and a front mount suncover. Once installed, it gives the Axiom 7 a more integrated look at the helm while keeping the display covered when the boat is not in use.

This is a practical fit for center consoles, sailboat cockpits, pilothouses, and compact dashboards where the display needs to sit neatly in the panel and stay secure through vibration, spray, and day-to-day marine use.

Key features

• Front installation kit for 7-inch Raymarine Axiom displays where the A80498 kit is specified
• Allows front-side mounting when rear access behind the dash or console is restricted
• Includes the trim and adaptor parts needed to finish the installation face cleanly
• Supplied with a front mount suncover to protect the touchscreen when the display is not being used
• Black finish matches the Axiom display styling for a neat helm or electronics panel layout

Installation and fit

This kit is intended for a fixed panel installation rather than a removable trunnion bracket setup. It suits helm stations where the display will remain in place and the installer wants the screen mounted into the dash, console, or instrument panel with a finished front edge.

Before cutting or drilling, confirm that the display model, panel thickness, cable clearance, and service access match the vessel layout. Leave enough space behind the unit for the power, network, and transducer connections used by the Axiom system.

Use on board

For boats with limited helm space, front mounting helps keep the navigation display tight to the panel and less exposed than a bracket installation. The included suncover is useful for open cockpits and center consoles where the screen may sit in direct sun or collect salt spray between trips.
