Raymarine Adapter Plate, For C70 Classic to Axiom 9, New Fixing Holes

Overview

The Raymarine A80525 is an adapter plate for fitting an Axiom 9 multifunction display into the space left by a Raymarine C70 Classic display. It is made for helm upgrades where the older C70 Classic is being removed and the boat owner wants a clean installation without leaving an oversized opening around the new screen.

This plate works with the existing C70 Classic cutout and uses new fixing holes for the Axiom 9 installation. Its black powder-coated finish helps it sit naturally with the Axiom display at the console, whether the display is mounted at an enclosed helm, flybridge station, cockpit dash, or other protected electronics panel.

Key features

• Fits an Axiom 9 display in place of a Raymarine C70 Classic display.
• Uses the C70 Classic cutout while providing the new fixing-hole layout needed for the Axiom 9.
• Black powder-coated finish matches the look of Raymarine Axiom displays at the helm.
• Useful for electronics refits where the goal is to update the navigation display without rebuilding the dash panel.
• Suited for fixed helm installations on cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats with older Raymarine Classic MFD cutouts.

Installation and fit

This adapter plate is intended for retrofit work, so the most important fit check is the display being removed and the display being installed. It is for replacing a C70 Classic with an Axiom 9, not for general-purpose mounting or adapting unrelated display sizes.

Because this version uses new fixing holes, the installer should test-fit the plate and display at the helm before drilling. That helps confirm the screen position, clearance behind the panel, cable routing, and access to the mounting hardware before the final installation is tightened down.

Use on board

The plate is a practical match for boats moving from legacy Raymarine C-Series electronics to a newer Axiom 9 display while keeping the helm layout tidy. It is especially useful when the existing dash has a finished gelcoat, fiberglass, acrylic, or metal panel that would be difficult to patch or recut cleanly.

Once installed, the adapter gives the new display a more finished appearance and helps cover the visual gap that can be left by the older C70 Classic footprint. For refit projects, that can save time at the console and keep the upgrade focused on the electronics rather than cosmetic panel work.
