Raymarine Y Adapter Cable 9-Pin to 9 and 7 Pin

Enhance your boating adventures with seamless sonar integration using the Raymarine Y Adapter Cable. This clever splitter solves a common challenge for Axiom DV chartplotter owners: connecting both a DownVision transducer like the CPT-110 or CPT-120 and an Airmar transducer simultaneously to a single port. No more choosing between clear down-view imaging and high-resolution forward or side scanning—get the best of both worlds with crystal-clear underwater views that help you navigate shallow waters, spot fish structures, and avoid hazards effortlessly.

Why Dual Transducer Setup Matters on the Water

Imagine cruising coastal bays or exploring inland lakes where underwater terrain shifts quickly. A single transducer might leave gaps in your data, but pairing DownVision's real-time imaging with an Airmar unit's precise CHIRP sonar delivers comprehensive coverage. Fishers spot schools hiding near drop-offs, while sailors map contours for safer anchoring. This Y-cable, at just 11.8 inches long, keeps your setup compact and cable clutter-free, ensuring reliable performance even in choppy conditions.

Engineered for Marine Demands

Raymarine builds gear that thrives where others falter—salt spray, vibrations, and constant moisture. The Y adapter features durable connectors that resist corrosion and maintain a secure fit, preventing signal loss during long outings. Its rugged construction means it withstands accidental tugs from deck gear or rough handling in the bilge. Boaters report years of trouble-free service, making it a smart investment for weekend warriors and serious offshore enthusiasts alike.

Effortless Compatibility and Setup

Designed specifically for Axiom DV series chartplotters, this adapter bridges a 9-pin input to both a 9-pin DownVision output and a 7-pin Airmar connection. It works seamlessly with popular models like the CPT-1xx series for DownVision and direct-connect Airmar transducers optimized for older ax7 or eSx7 multifunction displays now upgraded to Axiom. Plug-and-play simplicity means no soldering or custom wiring—just connect, power up, and calibrate via your plotter's intuitive menu for immediate dual-feed sonar displays.

Quick Installation Steps:

1. Power down your Axiom DV chartplotter and disconnect existing transducers.
2. Attach the 9-pin male end of the Y-cable to the plotter's sonar port.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end to your DownVision transducer.
4. Plug the 7-pin end into your Airmar transducer.
5. Secure cables away from heat sources or moving parts, then power on and select dual-channel mode in settings.

Troubleshooting tip: If one feed doesn't appear, double-check polarity and transducer depth—shallow mounts can cause interference.

Boost Your On-Water Confidence

Beyond basic connectivity, this adapter unlocks advanced features like overlaying DownVision imagery on traditional sonar returns. Track bait balls transitioning from forward scans to bottom-lock views, or use it for precise bottom discrimination in murky estuaries. Kayak anglers appreciate the lightweight setup for portable rigs, while larger vessels benefit from expanded coverage without added thru-hull penetrations. It's a game-changer for tournament pros chasing structure edges or families ensuring safe docking at dusk.

Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability

To maximize lifespan, rinse connectors with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect for wear during annual haul-outs. Store in a dry locker during off-seasons, coiled loosely to avoid kinks. Paired with Raymarine's commitment to quality, this simple care routine keeps your sonar sharp season after season.
