Raymarine Element 9S GPS Chartplotter, 9 in, High CHIRP Sonar, Wi-Fi, NMEA 2000, No Transducer, No Chart

Overview

The Raymarine E70533 is a 9-inch Element 9S chartplotter display with built-in CHIRP sonar capability, supplied without a transducer and without a chart card. It uses a 9.0 inch LCD with 800 x 480 resolution and up to 1500 nits of brightness, so chart detail stays readable at an open helm in full sun. The internal 10 Hz GPS/GNSS receiver works with GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou for fast position updates underway.

This unit makes sense for boats that need a dedicated navigation screen with physical keys instead of a touchscreen. It runs on a 12 V DC system with an operating range of 8 to 16 V DC, draws about 20 W at 12 V, and carries an IPx6 and IPx7 waterproof rating for spray, rain, and washdown conditions. Sonar is built in, but this package leaves transducer choice open, which is useful when the boat already has a compatible transducer plan or when navigation is the first priority.

It also supports Raymarine LightHouse charts, Navionics, and C-MAP through a MicroSDXC card slot, and it can join a wider onboard network through SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000. That gives it room to work with AIS, autopilot, sailing instruments, engines, tanks, VHF, and Quantum wireless radar when the boat's system calls for it.

Key features

• 9.0 inch display with 800 x 480 resolution and up to 1500 nits for clear viewing at the helm
• Internal 10 Hz GPS/GNSS receiver with GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou support
• Built-in single-channel CHIRP sonar with a 15-pin transducer connection
• This version is supplied without a transducer and without a chart card
• SeaTalkng and NMEA 2000 connectivity through the included power cable, plus 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
• One MicroSDXC card slot for cartography, software updates, and stored data
• IPx6 and IPx7 waterproof rating with an operating range from -25 C to +55 C
• Oversized waypoint key and three programmable quick keys for fast control underway

Compatibility and fit

This model fits boats that need a compact chartplotter at the console, pod, or helm station without stepping up to a larger multifunction display. Surface-mount dimensions for the Element 9 are 286.5 x 161 mm, and display-only weight is 1.3 kg, which helps when checking panel space and bracket load before installation.

Because this package does not include transducer or mapping, it is a straightforward option for owners who want to add their own compatible CPT-S transducer and select cartography separately. It suits center consoles, small cruisers, RIBs, pilothouse fishing boats, and sailing boats that want a dedicated keypad plotter with network expansion through NMEA 2000.

Installation and setup

The supplied power and NMEA 2000 cable combines a 1.5 m power lead with a 0.5 m NMEA 2000 lead, which keeps first-time wiring tidy at the helm. Wi-Fi support is built in for compatible Quantum radar connection and other wireless functions, and the keypad layout is easy to use when spray, gloves, or vibration make touch control less practical.

If depth sounding is part of the plan, a compatible transducer needs to be added to the 15-pin sonar port. For navigation-only use, the display can be installed and used as a chartplotter first, then expanded later with cartography, sonar, radar, and NMEA 2000 devices as the boat's setup grows.

Use on board

This is a good match for skippers who want quick chart access, waypoint marking, and dependable GPS position data without moving to a larger network display. It also works well on exposed helms where physical buttons are easier to manage during coastal runs, fishing trips, and day sailing.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
