Raymarine Transducer Adapter Cable, For Axiom DV Displays

Overview

This Raymarine transducer adapter cable is a connector adapter for using selected legacy or existing transducers with Raymarine Axiom DV displays. It is part of Raymarine’s Axiom DV transducer adapter cable range and is used where the display has a 9-pin DV sonar connection but the transducer connector is a 7-pin or 8-pin style.

The range covers two connection paths: 9-pin DV to 7-pin embedded transducer connections and 9-pin DV to 8-pin CP370 transducer connections. For boat owners updating a helm display while keeping a compatible installed transducer, this adapter helps avoid unnecessary transducer removal, fairing work, or cable rerouting through tight conduits.

Key features

• Connects selected existing transducers to Raymarine Axiom DV displays with a 9-pin DV sonar port.
• Available in 9-pin to 7-pin and 9-pin to 8-pin configurations for different transducer connector setups.
• Supports retrofit work where a compatible transducer is already installed through-hull, in-hull, or transom-mounted.
• Useful during electronics upgrades when the transducer cable path is difficult to access behind panels, bulkheads, or helm stations.
• Plug-style adapter format keeps installation focused on connector compatibility rather than rewiring the sonar circuit.

Variants

This product is offered in two connector configurations for different Raymarine transducer integration needs.

The connector layout is the main difference between the variants. Both variants are for Axiom DV transducer connections, but the transducer-side connector changes between the 7-pin embedded transducer format and the 8-pin CP370 transducer format.

• A80484: Ports 9-pin to 7-pin. This version is used when adapting a compatible 7-pin embedded transducer connection to the 9-pin DV sonar port on an Axiom DV display.
• A80485: Ports 9-pin to 8-pin. This version is used when connecting a compatible CP370 transducer with an 8-pin connector to the 9-pin DV sonar port on an Axiom DV display.

Installation and setup

Before installation, match the existing transducer connector to the variant connector type rather than relying only on the display model. The 9-pin side connects at the Axiom DV sonar port, while the 7-pin or 8-pin side connects to the compatible transducer cable.

As with any sonar cabling on a boat, route the adapter where it will not be pulled tight, pinched behind the helm, or exposed to standing water. Keep the connector area accessible enough for inspection, especially on vessels where electronics are serviced seasonally or removed during refits.

Compatibility and fit

This adapter range is most useful for owners upgrading Raymarine electronics while retaining a compatible transducer already fitted to the hull. It suits practical refit work on fishing boats, cruisers, and sailboats where the transducer itself is still serviceable and the main change is at the display end of the system.

For the best fit, confirm the Axiom display is a DV model with the correct 9-pin transducer connection and confirm whether the existing transducer cable terminates in a 7-pin or 8-pin connector. CP370 transducer installations normally use the 8-pin adapter option.
