Raymarine RCR-SDUSB Remote SD Card Reader, For Axiom Chartplotters, USB-A Port

Overview

The Raymarine A80440 is a remote SD card reader with a USB-A socket for Raymarine Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, Axiom Pro 2, and Axiom XL chartplotter displays. It adds 1 SD card slot and 1 USB-A port on a 2 m cable, so storage access can be moved to a more practical spot on the helm or dash.

This reader is useful when the display is flush-mounted and the rear card slot is awkward to reach once the unit is installed. It handles chart access, software updates, import and export of waypoints, routes and tracks, settings backup, and external file access. The card slot takes SD cards directly, and MicroSD can be used with an SD adapter.

The front housing measures about 55 x 53 mm and projects about 10 mm from the panel, which helps when space is tight around switches, throttles, and other electronics. The USB-A port also supports external storage such as a flash drive, and it can supply up to 0.5 A for charging small devices.

Key features

• Works with Raymarine Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, Axiom Pro 2, and Axiom XL chartplotter displays through the display ACCESSORY connection.
• Adds 1 SD card slot and 1 USB-A port in a remote mounting position at the console or helm.
• Supports SD cards directly and MicroSD cards when used with an SD adapter.
• Useful for charts, software updates, user data transfer, settings backup, screenshots, video files, PDF viewing, and LightHouse app installation files.
• USB-A port accepts external storage such as a flash drive and can supply up to 0.5 A for charging small devices.
• Front housing measures about 55 x 53 mm with an approximately 10 mm profile, and the attached cable is 2 m long.
• Reader cover should be kept firmly closed when not in use to help reduce water ingress at the mounting location.

Compatibility and fit

This unit makes the most sense on Axiom and Axiom+ installations where the rear card reader is hard to reach after the display is mounted. On Axiom XL, a remote reader is required for card access, so this type of accessory is part of the normal installation rather than an add-on for convenience.

It suits helms where the skipper wants storage access on the face of the console instead of behind the plotter. The 2 m cable gives more freedom when routing from the display to a dash panel, switch pod, or nearby flat mounting surface.

Installation and onboard use

The reader is surface-mounted with a gasket between the unit and the panel. A clean, reachable position near the chartplotter works best, especially on enclosed helms, larger center consoles, pilothouses, and dash layouts where the display backside is blocked by structure or wiring.

In day-to-day use, it is a good match for boaters who update charts at the dock, move routes and waypoints between systems, or save screenshots and video to removable media without pulling the display out of the dash. The USB-A socket also gives a straightforward connection point for a flash drive and light charging duty for a phone or similar small device.

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.
