Discover Superior Navigation with the Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 16 S

Imagine gliding across open waters with crystal-clear charts at your fingertips, pinpoint-accurate sonar readings revealing fish below, and seamless integration of your entire boating ecosystem. The Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro 16 S delivers this vision through its expansive 15.6-inch display, blending advanced chartplotting, High CHIRP sonar, and intuitive controls into one powerhouse unit. Preloaded with Lighthouse North America charts, it's your gateway to safer, smarter voyages—whether you're chasing trophy fish or plotting a coastal cruise.

What sets this chartplotter/fishfinder apart? Its fast 6-core processor boots up in seconds and handles complex tasks effortlessly, while the HydroTough nano-coating ensures the touchscreen stays responsive even in spray or rain. Boaters rave about the HybridTouch interface, which mixes swipe-friendly gestures with tactile keypads for gloves-on reliability.

Standout Features for Everyday Boaters

• Lightning-Fast Performance: Powered by a 6-core processor, it renders detailed charts and sonar images without lag, letting you react instantly to changing conditions.
• Unmatched Visibility: 1200 nits of brightness cuts through sunlight glare, and smart ambient sensors tweak backlighting from dawn patrols to sunset cruises.
• Versatile Sonar: Built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar excels at spotting structure and bait schools. Pair it with CPT-S transducers (via adapter) for depths up to 900 feet in optimal conditions.
• HybridTouch Mastery: Touchscreen precision meets programmable softkeys or an optional autopilot keypad—perfect for rough seas when wet fingers falter.
• Networked Flexibility: Link multiple Axiom displays via Ethernet for a unified helm setup, expanding radar, camera feeds, or engine data across screens.
• Entertainment Ready: Stream apps, mirror video via HDMI, or pipe audio to onboard systems for downtime at anchor.

Unlock the Depths with High CHIRP Sonar

High CHIRP technology isn't just buzz—it's a game-changer for separating targets in cluttered water. This unit's conical sonar beam provides sharp, detailed returns from 2 feet to over 900 feet, depending on your setup and conditions. Anglers love how it distinguishes between game fish, baitfish, and bottom structure, while cruisers appreciate reliable depth soundings for anchoring or navigating shallows.

Pro tip: Opt for a transom-mount or in-hull transducer to match your hull design. The 25-pin RealVision connector (with adapter) ensures compatibility, making upgrades straightforward.

Seamless Connectivity for Modern Vessels

Stay connected without compromise. Dual RayNet Ethernet ports support gigabit speeds for radar overlays, AIS, and multi-display syncing. NMEA 2000 via DeviceNet integrates with autopilots, engines, and sensors. Wireless perks include Bluetooth 4.0 for accessories and dual-band Wi-Fi for app updates or hotspots.

Storage is generous with 64GB internal Solid State plus dual front MicroSD slots for charts, routes, or waypoints. GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) locks fixes faster in challenging environments like canyons or harbors.

Real-World Applications: From Fishing to Family Outings

For offshore anglers, overlay Lighthouse charts with sonar to scout wrecks and reefs. Cruising families benefit from video inputs for cockpit cameras and autopilot integration for hands-free helming. The 16-inch screen shines for planning multi-leg trips, zooming into marinas or hazards with Navionics+ or C-MAP 4D compatibility.

Customization shines: Program softkeys for one-touch access to favorites like MOB, anchor alarm, or night mode. In low light, the display dims automatically, preserving night vision without manual tweaks.

Keep It Performing Like New

The HydroTough coating shrugs off salt and UV, but a fresh water rinse after saltwater exposure extends life. Update firmware via Wi-Fi for the latest LightHouse OS enhancements—Raymarine's intuitive interface evolves with user feedback, adding features like augmented reality overlays.

Pair with Raymarine's ecosystem: Quantum radar for bird-finding, FLIR cameras for night ops, or Evolution autopilots for precise tracking.
