Raymarine A12X to Axiom 12 Adapter Plate, Black Finish

Overview

The Raymarine A80527 is an adapter plate for fitting an Axiom 12 multifunction display into the existing cutout and fixing hole pattern from an A12x Series Display. It is a practical upgrade part for a helm, flybridge console, or electronics panel where the older display is being replaced and the goal is to keep the installation clean without rebuilding the dash.

The plate has a powder-coated black finish to visually match the Axiom display line and cover the older mounting footprint. It is listed as a mounting bracket accessory, with package dimensions of 1 inch high by 13 inches wide by 17 inches long and a listed weight of 0.6 lb, making it easy to handle during a refit or electronics refresh.

Key features

• Fits an Axiom 12 multifunction display in place of an A12x Series Display using the existing fixing hole layout.
• Helps cover the previous display footprint for a cleaner helm or dash upgrade.
• Powder-coated black finish matches the appearance of Raymarine Axiom displays.
• Useful for refit work where the electronics panel should stay neat and avoid unnecessary cutting or filler panels.
• Mounting bracket accessory format keeps the focus on mechanical fit rather than electrical or network integration.

Installation and fit

This adapter plate is mainly for physical mounting. It does not change the electrical requirements, transducer setup, or network connections for the Axiom 12 display, so those details should be checked against the display, vessel wiring, and existing marine electronics system before installation.

Before removing the old display, confirm the available panel space, cable clearance behind the dash, and the condition of the mounting surface. On older helms, it is also worth checking that the panel is flat enough for the plate and display gasket to sit evenly.

Use on board

This plate suits boat owners and installers updating a navigation station from an A12x Series Display to an Axiom 12 while keeping the helm layout familiar. It is especially helpful on fiberglass consoles, molded dash panels, and tight electronics clusters where a neat replacement fit matters as much as the new display itself.
