Axiom+ 9 MFD, RV 3D, Mexico/Carib/Brazil

Unlock Superior Fishfinding with RealVision 3D Sonar

Imagine gliding through the vibrant waters of the Mexico coast, Caribbean reefs, or Brazil's expansive offshore zones, where every cast counts and hidden structures make all the difference. The Axiom+ 9 RV elevates your angling adventures with its groundbreaking RealVision 3D CHIRP sonar. This isn't just a screen—it's a window into the underwater world, rendering photorealistic 3D images of the seafloor, bait balls, and wrecks. Anglers report spotting fish-holding ledges from afar that traditional 2D sonar misses, turning average days into trophy hauls.

Pair it with CHIRP SideVision to peer hundreds of feet to port and starboard, revealing submerged boulders or schools hugging drop-offs beyond your lure's reach. CHIRP DownVision delivers crystal-clear bottom detail, distinguishing between sand, mud, and structure at depths where clarity matters most. Whether you're chasing snapper in the Caribbean or grouper off Brazil, high-frequency CHIRP targets individual fish with precision, while the built-in 600W digital sonar handles deeper conventional scans at 50/200 kHz.

Navigate Confidently with Preloaded Regional Charts

Preloaded Navionics charts covering Mexico, the Caribbean, and Brazil mean you're ready to go from the moment you power up. Dive into detailed bathymetry, spot high-spot reefs, and plan routes around notorious currents or no-go zones. The LightHouse operating system shines here—fluid pan, zoom, and overlay sonar on charts for real-time decision-making. Switch seamlessly between day, dusk, and night themes to keep your eyes comfortable during long sessions, from dawn patrols to midnight trolling.

Built-in GPS/GNSS ensures pinpoint positioning, even in tricky coastal areas with tall buildings or mangroves. Reddits full of captains praising how these charts update dynamically, helping avoid shallows that snag props in the Bahamas or Yucatan.

Stunning 9-Inch Touchscreen Performance

The 9-inch WXGA display (1280x720) pops with 25% brighter IPS technology, delivering vivid charts, sonar returns, and video feeds in full sunlight. A responsive quad-core processor handles multitasking effortlessly—no lag when splitting screens for dual sonar channels plus radar overlays. Touch controls feel intuitive, like your smartphone, but ruggedized for wet hands and bumpy rides.

Dimensions fit neatly into most consoles (9.65" wide x 6.22" tall x 3" deep), and IPX6/IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off spray, rain, or the occasional wave over the bow. Users love the expanded storage for waypoints, routes, and custom apps, turning it into your boat's command center.

Expand Your Setup for Total Boat Awareness

Start with the core fishfinder/chartplotter, then scale up. Add solid-state radar to track squalls rolling in from the Gulf, FLIR thermal for night man-overboard searches, or IP cameras for 360-degree docking views. ClearCruise Augmented Reality overlays radar and camera feeds on charts, making tight maneuvers in crowded marinas a breeze. Optional AIS keeps you clear of commercial traffic in busy shipping lanes off Veracruz or Rio.

Sat weather pulls live forecasts to dodge thunderstorms, while audio integration lets you monitor VHF without flipping screens. It's modular design grows with your passion, from weekend warrior to full-time charter op.

Built to Last in Harsh Marine Environments

Raymarine engineered this MFD for real-world abuse—salt spray, vibration from twin outboards, and scorching tropical sun. The front-of-mfd install option keeps bezels flush for a clean look, and straightforward cabling simplifies DIY upgrades. Pro tip: Mount it at eye level for optimal sonar interpretation, and calibrate transducers post-install to maximize SideVision range in shallow bays.
