The Raymarine Axiom 7 DV with CHIRP DownVision, CPT-100 DVS Transducer, and Navionics+ Chart is Raymarine's complete 7-inch chartplotter/fishfinder kit - bundled as a turnkey package with everything you need for a basic helm electronics install on a small to mid-size boat. The kit eliminates the research and component-selection complexity of building an MFD system from individual parts.
Where the Axiom 7 sits in the Raymarine lineup. Raymarine's marine chartplotter lineup has clear tiers: Element series (entry-tier, $700-1500, basic chartplotter/fishfinder for smaller boats), Axiom series (mid-tier, this product family, $1000-3000+ depending on size, the workhorse Raymarine line that covers most recreational installs), Axiom Pro and Axiom XL series (high-tier, $3000-10000+, premium glass-helm units for serious sportfishers and yachts), and the dedicated commercial systems above that. The Axiom 7 at this price point with the bundled transducer and charts is the sweet spot for owners building a first helm electronics setup on a small to mid-size boat. For larger boats or owners needing more screen real estate, the Axiom 9, 12, or 16 are the upgrade path within the same Axiom platform.
What's included - turnkey kit advantage. Three components bundled in one purchase: (1) The Axiom 7 DV MFD - the 7-inch touchscreen display with built-in CHIRP DownVision sonar processor and built-in GPS. (2) The CPT-100 DVS transom-mount transducer - the sonar transducer that mounts on the boat's transom and connects to the MFD via the included 33-foot cable. (3) Navionics+ charts for USA and coastal Canada - the marine charts pre-loaded on the chart card included in the kit. Plus surface mount and trunnion mount kits, mounting hardware, power/data cable, and complete install documentation. For owners building a new helm setup from scratch, the kit saves the research overhead of selecting individual components and saves typically $150-300 vs buying the components separately.
Built-in CHIRP DownVision sonar. The 'DV' designation means the unit includes Raymarine's dual-channel CHIRP DownVision sonar capability built in - no separate sonar module required. Two sonar modes: Traditional CHIRP for fish detection and bottom tracking (the classic vertical-down sonar view showing fish arches and bottom topography), and DownVision for picture-like underwater imagery directly below the boat (high-detail bottom composition and structure identification). The included CPT-100 DVS transducer drives both sonar modes simultaneously - typical use is split-screen with traditional CHIRP on one side and DownVision on the other for combined fish-finding and structure-identification view.
The CPT-100 DVS transducer in detail. The included transducer is the CPT-100 DVS - a transom-mount CHIRP DownVision transducer with marine-grade urethane housing and 33-foot factory cable. Maximum depth: 600 feet on DownVision mode, 900 feet on traditional CHIRP fishfinder mode. Beam coverage: 25 degrees low frequency / 60 degrees high frequency. Records depth and water temperature (the temperature reading shows on the MFD alongside depth and other data). Compatible with fiberglass, wood, and metal hulls. Fits transoms with 0-90 degree deadrise (covers essentially any transom angle). The 33 foot cable is sufficient for most install configurations where the MFD mounts at the helm and the transducer mounts on the transom of a typical 18-30 ft boat.
The 7-inch all-glass display. The display is 7 inches diagonal at 800x480 WVGA resolution, optically bonded glass for brighter colors and sharper contrast than non-bonded alternatives, 1200 nits brightness for direct-sunlight readability. The all-glass buttonless design (with swipe-to-power for the on/off control) is the modern Raymarine aesthetic that complements current-generation glass-helm boat builds. IPX6 (heavy spray resistant) and IPX7 (1-meter immersion for 30 minutes) waterproof rating. The 7-inch size is sweet spot for boats 18-30 feet - big enough to show meaningful chart detail and sonar imagery, small enough to fit limited helm panel space.
LightHouse 3 operating system. The Axiom platform runs Raymarine's LightHouse 3 OS - the user interface that's been refined across multiple major version releases for fast performance, fluid touch response, and easily personalized layouts. Customize the home screen with the views you use most, swipe between split-screen configurations on the fly, mark waypoints with one touch, access chart features and sonar settings through clean menu hierarchies. The quad-core processor in the Axiom delivers genuinely fast performance - chart pan/zoom is smooth, sonar redraws happen at full update rate, and the UI doesn't lag during normal operation.
Navionics+ charts - what you get pre-loaded. Navionics+ is the mid-tier Navionics chart product (Navionics+ Discover is the entry tier, Navionics Platinum+ adds satellite imagery and 3D views). The USA + coastal Canada coverage includes: detailed marine charts for the US Atlantic and Pacific coasts plus Great Lakes, coastal Canada coverage, and over 80,000 inland ponds, lakes, and rivers across the US and Canada. Standard chart features: bathymetric contours, navigation aids, marina information, anchorages, tides and currents, hazards, and depth markers. SonarChart Live capability lets you create custom bathymetry maps in real time from your sonar data, supplementing the stock chart contours with your own high-resolution data.
Networking - expansion possibilities. Two networking technologies built in. (1) NMEA 2000 (Micro-C port) - the standard marine instrument network protocol for engine data, AIS, autopilot, instruments, and other marine devices. Plug into your existing NMEA 2000 backbone or start a new one. (2) RayNet Ethernet - Raymarine's proprietary high-bandwidth network for radar, sonar modules, IP cameras, multi-display sonar sharing, and other Raymarine accessories. Built-in Wi-Fi for smartphone/tablet connection via Raymarine mobile apps and software updates. Built-in Bluetooth for accessory pairing.
Raymarine ecosystem accessories. The Axiom 7 supports the full range of Raymarine accessories as your system grows: Quantum CHIRP radar (the current-generation Raymarine radar with breakthrough Doppler collision-avoidance capabilities), FLIR thermal imaging cameras (M100/M200/T-series for night vision and low-visibility navigation - FLIR is Raymarine's parent company so the integration is native), Evolution autopilot (Raymarine's modern autopilot with built-in 9-axis sensor processing), IP cameras for engine room or cockpit monitoring, AIS receivers for commercial vessel traffic awareness, marine audio system integration via NMEA 2000 for stereo control from the MFD, and many other accessories. For owners committed to the Raymarine ecosystem, the Axiom 7 is the entry point and supports gradual system expansion as needs evolve.
GPS performance. Built-in 72-channel GPS/GLONASS receiver with 10 Hz update rate. The 10 Hz rate is significantly faster than the 1 Hz typical of basic GPS - matters for high-speed boating where 1 Hz GPS shows a stair-step boat trail at 30+ mph while 10 Hz delivers smooth continuous tracking. GLONASS multi-constellation support delivers better position accuracy in marginal sky conditions (forest cover, near tall structures). Typical horizontal accuracy: 3 meters under normal conditions.
Physical and electrical specs. 7.92 x 5.24 x 3.0 inches (W x H x D). Approximately 3.35 lb weight. 12 VDC operation (8-16V operating range). Multiple mounting options: flush mount (clean panel-cutout look), surface mount (with the included bracket), front mount (dashboard installation), bracket mount (adjustable positioning). Operating temperature -25 degrees C to +55 degrees C (-13 degrees F to 131 degrees F). Storage temperature -30 to +70 degrees C.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in this kit vs buying the MFD alone?
Three components in one bundle: (1) Axiom 7 DV MFD (the 7-inch touchscreen display with built-in CHIRP DownVision sonar processor), (2) CPT-100 DVS transom-mount CHIRP DownVision transducer with 33 ft cable, (3) Navionics+ chart card with USA and coastal Canada coverage preloaded. Plus surface mount and trunnion mount kits, mounting hardware, power/data cable, and install documentation. Saves the research overhead of selecting components individually and saves $150-300 vs buying the components separately.
What's the difference between Axiom 7 DV and Axiom 7 RV?
Sonar capability. The DV (DownVision) variant (this product) has dual-channel CHIRP plus DownVision picture-like vertical imagery. The RV (RealVision) variant adds three more sonar modes: SideVision (picture-like sidescan to left and right), DownVision (same as DV), and RealVision 3D (three-dimensional perspective view of underwater structure). RealVision is the upgraded sonar suite at higher price. For most recreational use, DV is sufficient and saves cost. For serious tournament fishing or owners who want the SideVision capability, the RV is the upgrade.
What's the difference between Axiom and Axiom Pro?
Axiom Pro is the higher-tier variant with: built-in 1 kW CHIRP sonar (vs DownVision-only on the standard Axiom), additional HybridTouch interface (touchscreen plus dedicated buttons/encoder vs touch-only on Axiom), brighter display (typically 1500+ nits vs 1200 nits), HDMI output for external display mirroring. Axiom Pro costs about 50% more than equivalent Axiom and is the right tier for serious sportfishing where you need higher-power sonar and the button interface as backup to touchscreen. For typical recreational use, Axiom is sufficient.
Will it work with my non-Raymarine accessories?
Standard NMEA 2000 devices (engines, autopilot, instruments, AIS) work across brands and integrate with the Axiom 7 via the NMEA 2000 port. Raymarine-proprietary accessories (Quantum radar, FLIR cameras, Evolution autopilot, RayNet-connected devices) are Raymarine-specific. For radar specifically, you need Raymarine radar to display on Raymarine MFD - radar is brand-locked across the major marine electronics manufacturers. For autopilot, basic NMEA 2000 integration works across brands but full integration features (waypoint navigation, etc.) typically require same-brand autopilot.
How well does the touchscreen work in real conditions?
Generally well. Modern capacitive touchscreens (like the Axiom 7) work with wet hands and most gloves. Heavy rain can cause occasional false touches - typical workaround is wiping the screen periodically. Polarized sunglasses cause some angle-dependent darkening (an LCD physics issue not specific to this unit) but the 1200 nit brightness mostly overpowers this. For tough conditions where reliable button operation matters more than touchscreen aesthetic, the higher-tier Axiom Pro with HybridTouch (touchscreen + dedicated buttons) is the upgrade.
Can I install it myself?
Yes - manageable for a competent DIY install. Steps: mount the MFD (bracket mount, surface mount, or flush mount per included hardware), install the transom-mount transducer (drill mounting holes in transom, mount bracket, install transducer, seal with marine sealant), route the 33-foot transducer cable from transom to MFD, connect 12V power through proper fuse, optionally connect NMEA 2000 to the boat's backbone. Realistic time: 2-4 hours for the MFD install plus 1-2 hours for transducer install. Most challenging part is typically the transducer install which requires hull drilling.
What if I want to add radar later?
The Axiom 7 is fully radar-ready via the RayNet Ethernet port. The recommended radar choice is the Raymarine Quantum series (Quantum and Quantum 2) - solid-state CHIRP pulse-compression radars with Doppler collision avoidance on the Quantum 2. Add the radar later when budget allows ($1500-2500 for the radar unit plus install). The MFD doesn't need any upgrade or modification to support radar - just plug in the radar's Ethernet cable and the unit auto-detects.
Does it support FLIR thermal cameras?
Yes - FLIR is Raymarine's parent company so the FLIR camera integration is native to the Axiom platform. Add a FLIR M100 or M200 compact marine thermal camera (smaller/cheaper than the M300/T-series) and the camera image displays on the Axiom 7 with controls accessible from the MFD touchscreen. Thermal cameras are particularly valuable for night navigation, low-visibility piloting (fog), and detecting people overboard or other boats in the dark. Optional accessory, not included in the base kit.
What's the SonarChart Live feature?
SonarChart Live (Navionics) creates real-time custom bathymetry maps from your sonar data while you fish. As you drive the boat with the sonar running, the unit logs depth data and builds a high-resolution depth contour map of the area. The custom contours overlay on the standard Navionics+ chart, supplementing the stock chart data with your own high-detail recordings. Particularly valuable for owners who fish smaller lakes or areas not well-covered by commercial chart cartography. Standard feature included with the Navionics+ chart card.
Is the display readable in direct sunlight?
Yes - the 1200 nit brightness is genuinely sun-readable, not the lower 500-nit consumer specs that wash out in actual direct sun. The optically-bonded glass construction (no air gap between LCD and protective glass) reduces internal reflections that wash out non-bonded displays. Anti-glare glass treatment further improves readability under tough light angles. For most boating conditions including bright sun, the display reads clearly without shading.
What's the warranty?
Limited 2-year Raymarine warranty on materials and workmanship from date of purchase. Register on Raymarine's website at purchase for warranty activation - some Raymarine promotions extend the warranty to 3 years on registration. Raymarine has well-established global service support through authorized dealers. Warranty doesn't cover damage from lightning, immersion damage beyond IPX7 spec, drop damage, or normal wear after the warranty period.
Can I share sonar between multiple MFDs?
Yes - if you have multiple Axiom or Axiom Pro displays networked via RayNet Ethernet, the sonar data from any connected transducer can be displayed on any networked MFD. Practical use: install a second Axiom MFD at a flybridge or secondary helm and share the same sonar from the primary MFD's transducer - no need for a second transducer on the boat. The multi-display sonar sharing is a major reason to use the Raymarine ecosystem for boats with multiple control stations.
