A Breakdown of Raymarine's Alpha Performance Displays
Fix display too big for screen?
Jim, this was VERY informative. I'm hoping you can help me with connecting a basic system... I'm adding an i50 depthsounder at my lower helm (with a power cable) and want to connect it to my existing c125 chartplotter at my upper helm. The two instruments are within 10 feet, can I just run a spur cable between the two or do I need a 5 way connector with two backbone terminators? Thanks!
Jim is autoroute available on Lighthouse charts? My dealer seems to think so but I think it’s only available with the Navionics charts. Thanks in advance.
Hello Mark. Currently automatic routing on Axiom is only available with Navionics or C-MAP electronic charts.
How do you add and edit POI in Lighthouse like you do in Navionics charts? Here in Sweden Baltic Sea the POI is not that relevant or missing compared with Navionics. It’s barely not wort to pay for “Premium” to get roads and POI;s in this area. I’m forced to use LH for now because Navionics chart freezes the mfd (Brand new axio+ 12” updated to latest fw) now and then and the support have not given me a solution that works yet. / Reidar
The POI layer is LightHouse charts isn't currently editable. If there are personal POIs you want to have available on the chart the best way to do it would be to create waypoints for them. You could even create a waypoint group "Personal POIs" or similar, that would keep them together in their own category. The advantage of doing that is you can set an entire group of waypoints to be displayed or hidden, at the group level. Your Navionics card should not be freezing your display, regardless of software level. If the freezing is particular to that card being inserted, you may want to run the card through the Navionics updater system on your PC. Let the PC scan the card for corruption issues, and then update the chart with the latest data set from Navionics for your area.
@@RaymarineInc Thanks for answering. The POI was generic info about fuel stations , harbour facility’s and likely. That’s no good at all in the Baltic and lake Malaren. I will test to scan my Navionics card. For now we are using LH.
I have raymarine axiom with quantum Q24C radar, and when I touch an object on the screen, there is no target aquire option. How can I enable that?
To use radar target acquisition and target tracking your Axiom needs to have 3 pieces of information available to it: -Course Over Ground (COG) from your GPS/GNSS Receiver -Speed Over Ground (SOG) from your GPS/GNSS Receiver -Compass Heading from an electronic compass or autopilot system I suspect you are missing the compass heading, which is why Axiom isn't offering you the Acquire Target function. In order for the radar to provide accurate tracking and collision avoidance information it needs to know precisely your boat's heading and speed information. The COG provided by the GPS systems on its own is not accurate enough to meet this requirement because GPS receivers cannot provide accurate COG when your boat is stationary or traveling at a speed below 1 knot. The electronic compass provides heading information at all speeds, and when stationary. From the Raymarine lineup you could add an EV-1 heading sensor or an AR200 Augmented Reality module. Both of those will provide compass heading. If you have ever considered adding an autopilot to your boat, that would also provide a suitable heading source. There are also 3rd party electronic compass sensors that will work too. Look for any that are marked as NMEA 2000 compatible and they will provide the needed information.

@@RaymarineInc Thank you very much for the info. Yes I don't have a heading sensor. I'll consult with my electrician which one to install.
Hey Jim. Sorry for the thread creep, but I can't seem to find your e-mail. I know you check here often so I have a question... Current system is 2 Axiom+ units, P70Rs, RMK-10. Just added a RNS-5 to network it all together, and introduce a Lumitec Poco controller to the network so lighting can be controlled on the plotters via the Lumitec app. Running Lighthouse 4.6.148. I noticed that the Lumitec App is no longer present on the plotter with the update above. The Poco hardware is connected to, and recognized on the network at this point. How do I get the app onto the plotters? I did plenty of searching online, with no help. Thanks in advance... JW
No problem! Glad to help. The Lumitec Poco app actually lives inside the Poco controller module. When Axiom sees that device on the network, it presents a shortcut to the app. It seems like your Axiom is not seeing the module. First, lets see if it is being detected at all. On your Axiom if you go to Home...Settings...Network, and the lighting controller should be listed on that tab along with other networked products. It will also report there the firmware version that is installed in the lighting controller. Check to see what yours has, if listed. I do have a note from our QA team that there was an occasional glitch with Poco controller versions prior to 3.7 that would sometime cause a loss of connection. If yours has a version lower than 3.7, please update it. If you are not seeing the controller listed at all on Axiom's Network list please double-check your Ethernet connection between the lighting controller and the network switch. The app itself will show up in the LightHouse Apps main menu (Home...Apps) or you can program it to appear alongside other apps or as its own home screen tile. Long-press on any home screen tile and select Customize. That will lead you to the editor where you can choose between full or split screen layouts, and then assign apps to the tiles. When detected, the Lumitec App should appear in that list along with the traditional apps like chart, sonar, radar, etc.
@@RaymarineInc Thanks, Jim! Finally got them talking to one another...and accordingly, presenting the logo. It took updating to LH4.7 AND deleting, reinstalling, and updating firmware on the Poco unit to get it working. Thanks to both companies for the support.
Hi Can we have in the tune frequency a beam degrees angle adjustable as well . Please
I'll feed this request back to Braden and his sonar engineering team to take a look at. Thanks for watching!
@RaymarineInc Thanks for replying Also in sonar split screen why i cant have two colours palettes. Like low in classic blue. and high in classic white? Much easier to the eyes. Thanks for approving axioms Features.
Question... Why does TJ have the B275LHW connected to a CP570 the B275LHW is a 1kw transducer ? Why does he not have it connected to a CP470 or directly to his axiom pro ?? Reason is I have a CP570 and I also have a B275LHW but I have the transducer connection to my pro rvx and not connected to my CP570 my CP570 is on the shelf .. I was told " not by raymarine " thr 570 was over kill to run the B275LHW.. is there an advantage to install my cp570 and run my transducer through that rather then connected directly to my axiom pro rvx ?
Hi Terry. Thanks for watching! I must apologize for an error in my statement in the live broadcast (this is Jim responding.) I thought TJ had CP570 onboard but in fact he does not. He is running his B275LHW transducer connected to an RVM-1600 RealVision MAX sonar module, networked to the rest of his Axiom 2 Pro displays. The RVM-1600 module has connections for a RealVison 3D transducer (which TJ does not have) and an Airmar 1kW transducer (hosting the B275HW.) It is technically possible to connect a 1kW transducer to the CP570. There are pluses and minuses to it. The minus is that the CP570 supports up to 2kW transducers. With a 1kW attached, you are paying for more power output capability than you can use. The CP570, through transducer ID, sees that the transducer is rated for 1kW and adjusts itself accordingly so it doesn't damage the transducer with too much power. The benefit the CP570 brings with any Airmar CHIRP transducer is its dual-channel architecture. The CP570 module actually has dual sonars internally. There is a dedicated transceiver, input and output channel for frequency 1, and another independent transceiver, input and output channel for frequency 2. Each channel can run at full-speed, maximum ping rate, all the time, with direct access to its own transceiver. Nothing is shared between the 2 frequencies. By comparison, the RVM-1600, CP470 and Axiom 2 Pro RVM's built-in 1kW sonar transceivers are constructed with single-channel architecture. Instead of having dedicated components for each frequency, the transceiver, input channel and output channel are shared between frequencies 1 and 2. If you are using any individual channel, it can run at full speed, full ping rate. If you are using both frequencies simultaneously, it must share those components, alternating pings between frequency 1 and frequency 2. The makes the update rate slower, by comparison. In some scenarios, especially in very deep water this can make the on-screen update rate appear very slow if you need to watch both frequencies. (In the case of the RVM-1600 and Axiom 2 Pro RVM, those units also support RealVision 3D, which has its own separate transceiver, input and output channel.) Ideally, the ultimate solution is a 2kW transducer used with a CP570 because you get a power-matched setup with all the benefits of dual-channel design. The challenge is this setup can be expensive, and the 2kW transducers can be too large for some boats to accommodate. I hope this explains it better, and apologies again for mis-identifying his system components.
@@RaymarineInc - Hey Jim, great explanation. Can you talk about the Axiom Pro (1) 12 RVX, and the difference between the RV and 1KW transducer connection in regards to shared channel? I have two transducers connected to the axiom, a RV-100 and a TM265LH connected to the 1kw connector. I have 1 app configured with 3 screens (TM265 Low Chirp/TM265 High Chirp and RV-100 side vision.) In 2000 feet of water, the scroll speed is very slow. Does the RV and 1KW connector have their own channel, or is it shared between the two transducers? I also see a lot of interference on the side vision, is it recommended to not display two transducers together on the same page? Thanks
Thank so much for the detailed explanation...
Right after the TJ interview Wicked Tuna got canceled. That sucks.
Ya and on top of that, Tuna.com jumped on the Raymarine band wagon. Now won't see it. I hope they decide to start it back up even on another network. Great show. Was watched by all in our marina and fishing clubs.

Hi Are the axiom going to integrate a forward looking sonar at some point? (like simrad has been using for a while)
For forward-looking sonar, we have partnered with EchoPilot to support direct integration of their FLS 3D forward looking sonar on Axiom. The EchoPilot system connects to the RayNet high speed network like our other sonar modules. When Axiom detects it, it offers the EchoPilot FLS app which controls the system. The EchoPilot app can also be programmed into Axiom's homescreen tiles as a full-screen display, or split with other apps like radar, chart, etc. We have an article about it on Raymarine.com here: www.raymarine.com/en-us/about-raymarine/newsroom/echopilot-integration-with-raymarine-axiom Here is the FLS 3D system on the EchoPilot website: daniamant.com/products/echopilot-fls3d/
Thanks for video. What autopilot you recommend if boat displacement is 6.5t ?
Hello Janis. We'll need to know a bit more about your boat to make an exact recommendation, but at 6.5 tones (about 13,000 pounds) you will have some options. When specifying an autopilot you should always add 20% to the boat's specified displacement to account for the added weight of equipment and supplies carried aboard. The number you'll want to consider is 15,600 pounds for your boat. The first component you must choose is the drive system. The drive is the muscle that actually does the steering. The drive unit selection comes down to boat displacement and steering system type. Here are some options: If you have a wheel-steered boat, our EV-100 wheel pilot would be an options. It works on boats up to 16,500 pounds displacement. The wheel drive attaches to your wheel spokes and is manually engaged with a clutch. This pilot comes in a kit form and includes an ACU-100 actuator controller, p70s color pilot controller, and EV1 sensor core. If you are doing long-distance, ocean cruising, you might prefer a below-deck autopilot with an electric linear or rotary drive system. Displacement-wise your boat would work with any of our Type-1 electric autopilot drives. The T1 Linear drive or Rotary Drive system works for boats up to 24,000 pounds. Type-1 autopilot drives would be paired with an Evolution EV200 autopilot system. Linear drive systems attach to the boat's rudder quadrant. They contain an electric clutch to engage or disengage the autopilot. Their push/pull action on the quadrant steers the boat. The linear drive is extremely powerful and must be bolted into the boat's structural members to prevent damage to the boat. Rotary drive systems tie into chain and sprocket steering systems. Some helm pedestals are pre-configured to work with rotary drives which can make installation easier. I recommend you engage with a local electronics dealer or boatyard to inspect your boat before you purchase anything. Feel free to also open a ticket with our autopilot support team with your boat details. Feel free to attach images of your boat's steering system and rudder mechanicals too. You can open a ticket at raymarine.com/support.
Yeah I have a 27' mirage sailboat. I'm not so much looking for fish as much a depth. I have a meter depth finder now that is sr mariner and it's not great. I prefer a inhull solution but I also prefer the best solution for my vessel. It's coming out of water soon so thru hull is possible. Which transducer works best with the a75 and is it plug and play?
There really isn't a direct plug-and-play transducer for a75 because it does not have the internal hardware to drive a transducer. It is reliant on having either an external depth instrument (like i50 Depth) to drive the transducer, or an external fishing sonar module (like CP370) to drive the transducer. The i50 solution will give you the numerical depth value passed to the a75. You can see the depth displayed as a number in any of its data box displays, on-screen overlays, or in its Dashboard app. The CP370 solution will actually populate the Fishfinder/Sonar app on a75. It will show you the scroll of the bottom, and any targets in the water column. It will also provide a numerical depth value that can be displayed in the databoxes, overlays, etc.
I have an ST 6001 autopilot on a 2005 Beneteau 393 that works in Auto mode however in Standby mode the wheel offers a substantial amount of resistance to turning. What could be the reason?
Hello Al. I'll need more information about your system to fully troubleshoot this, but I can give you a few things to look at. Most likely your boat is fitted with an electric linear drive that is attached to your rudder quadrant, or an electric rotary drive that drives a chain-and-sprocket system through your helm. In either case, these drive units have an electric clutch as part of them. When the autopilot is in engaged, the clutch is engaged, locking the autopilot drive into the steering system. When the autopilot is in standby, the clutch is disengaged, allowing the drive unit to just free-wheel with the movement of the steering system while you are hand steering. It may be that the clutch on your system is not releasing. There is an electric clutch control line that runs from your autopilot's course computer to the drive unit. At the dock, if you have an assistant cycle the autopilot between standby and auto modes, if you are near the drive unit you'll hear the clutch engage and disengage to confirm it is moving. If you are not hearing the click, it is likely stuck and the drive unit should be serviced. You can also check with a multimeter to see if the course computer is sending current to the clutch when the pilot is engaged. You'll see 12 or 24 volts (depending on your boat's system voltage) at the clutch leads when the pilot is engaged. It should go to 0 volts when the pilot is in standby. If you aren't seeing the voltage shift, the course computer could have an issue. These drives do have a mechanical gearbox/drivetrain internally. I breakdown in the mechanicals could also cause resistance. Also inspect the overall mechanicals of your steering system itself. Make sure cables, pulleys, shafts, etc. are all in good shape and turning freely. I do recommend opening a support ticket with our team at www.raymarine.com/support so an autopilot specialist can review your setup and respond with some specific recommendations.
Impossible to get answers. Maybe you know. I have a a series a75 mfd w/wifi raymarine, familiar? Charts work but nothing else does so I'm assuming I need antennas or transducers or something to relay the information to the mfd. but what? What is compatable and how to I plug it in to the a75? It's seems impossible to have the questions answered to a rookie who has some money and wants to make it work. Ideally I would like depth and Sirius Sonar and wind can wait but depth Sirius and even speed would work.
I would like to know a compatible inhull transducer that's comparable.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The a75 is a multifunction display with built-in GPS and networking capability. It accepts Navionics or C-MAP charts through the card slot on its front panel, hidden behind a small hatch on the bottom right. The unit has a built-in GPS/GNSS receiver that should plot the boat's position as long as where the screen is mounted has a relatively clear view of the sky. We do make an external GPS/GNSS sensor that is compatible with the a75, called a Raystar 150. If your display ends up being mounted below-deck or in a hard-top pilot house where it can't see the sky, you may need one of these to maintain a reliable GPS fix. Back when the a75 was in production, there were 3 models in that lineup. a75 is the GPS/chartplotter model. It does not have any built-in sonar capability of its own. Its siblings were the a77 and a78 which offered built-in digital or CHIRP sonar, respectively. In order for your a75 to display depth information it needs to be connected through its network connections to a suitable depth instrument or sonar module. If you are using this in a sailing system, you might network it via SeaTalk NG to a device like an i50 Depth instrument or i50 Tridata (depth, speed, log) instrument. If you want a more fishing oriented system you could link to a CP370 sonar module. In either case, the instrument or sonar module would have a compatible transducer connected to it. If you want to add SiriusXM weather and satellite radio, we offer an add-on receiver called SR200. Its a dual-channel SiriusXM receiver supporting both their marine weather service as well as their satellite radio network. For audio, the SR200 has an analog, stereo line-level output that can be connected to your boat's marine stereo auxiliary input. The a75 has a weather app for displaying the satellite weather data on-screen.
The a75 doesn't have a built-in sonar, so you will need to connect it to a networked instrument or sonar module. In-hull depth transducers are the type that get bonded to the internal hull down in the bilge and transmit/receive signals right through the fiberglass bottom. Generally, this type of transducer is better suited to a fish finding sonar more so than a depth instrument because the fishing sonar has more transmit power. To add a through-hull transducer system to a75 I would recommend the CP370 sonar module, part number E70297. Its in-hull transducer is called a P79 adjustable in-hull, part number E66008. We do offer an in-hull depth transducer for instrument systems like the i50 Depth. You'd need to order the display and transducer individually. The display is part number E70059. The P79 in hull transducer is part number E26001-PZ. The area where this transducer gets mounted needs to be solid fiberglass (no core), and less than 1-inch thick. The i50 Depth instrument has a much lower power output than the CP370 has (about 20-watts vs. 600-watts) so it is not going to go as deep, and will be much more sensitive to placement on the hull and the thickness and state of the fiberglass underneath it.
I have a mfd a75 w/wifi how do I activate this. No I need antennas I only have what came in the box
The a75 has a built-in GPS receiver. Once you apply power to it, if the display has a mostly clear view of the sky its internal GPS receiver should give you a position fix and provide course over ground and speed over ground.
To Raymarine Customer Support - Guys, you need to watch the latest Sailing Gently Video on the- eta for clarity - Sailing Gently Channel on RUclips, in which he mentions Equipment Failures and his nearly new Taymarine auto pilot being of Unacceptably Substandard Quality and unreliability, and a Raymarine Display that ceases to function if a drop of Rain lands on it, and its unusability if you have wet hands. Michael whose channel it is, is a very experienced Sailor, has done a Circumnavigstion years ago, and has written a lot of excellent raising Guides, so his criticisms need to be considered very seriously, and as of now, could well be the final straw of my personal Concerns for the suitability of having a Raymarine Network and electronic equipment on my next Sailboat, and right now, I definitely will not be buying a Raymarine auto pilot or Any Rsymarine Screens. As I am clearly far from alone in my Concerns, I recommend you treat this matter with the Urgency it deserves, and contact Michael on the Subject Post Haste. Bob in Wales. 🤔
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll have a member of our team reach out to Michael to help him with the issues he's seeing.
@@RaymarineInc Thanks Guys, as Michael is a particularly helpful and experienced guy, he is very widely respected, particularly due to his superb Cruising books. Best Wishes. Bob in Wales (tbh, I need to have a very long chat with you a out what I should do to have a totally reliable Auto Pilot for my next Sailboat, because as of now, Im worried).Best Wishes.

Hi Jim I have two Axiom pro, 1 Axiom plus, a flir camera, a Quantum radar and a lot of i70S 0:04 . My Axiom pro 9S is the master and the two others mfd are slave by ethernet (HS5 sea talk) It was running well… but after the last softwares update the two slave mfd lag and freeze regulary Could you help me?
Thanks for watching the show and commenting. Where this has happened after a software update, I suspect there might be some data in Axiom's memory cache left over from the update that is slowing things down. First, backup your waypoints, tracks and settings. You can do this by going to Home..My Data...Import/Export...Save My Data and then using the options in there to create backup files on your SD card. You'll be able to restore this information afterwards using those files. Next I would try a factory reset. Initiate it from your Master display and it will reset all of them. Go to Home...Settings...This Display....and scroll to the bottom of the window. Factory Reset will be at the bottom. Touch it, and then confirm with a Yes. Once your Axioms reboot, you can restore your information by going back to Home...My Data...Import/Export...Import from card. Touch each of the files you backed up previously and Axiom will restore them. When you restore the settings file, it will need to reboot. I'd save that one for last. Hopefully that should get everything working quickly again.
@@RaymarineInc Thank you for the procedure, It's clear
The “ALARM” heard when the sonar detects a tuna, is that a feature only found on the Raymarine products. Which units in the lineup of Raymarine has the feature?
The fish alarm is available on Raymarine's Element and Axiom units on any of the traditional or CHIRP 2D down-looking channels. In your fishfinder app go to Menu...Settings...Fish Detection and you'll find it there. There are a few customizable settings you can use to adjust the sensitivity threshold, constrain the alarm to only sound between a certain range of depths, as well as options to apply fish-shaped icons and depth readings to each detected target.
Thanks Jim. I was looking for some information and I found it in this video.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Is copper power transformer suitable for iron fishing vessels?
For vessels with an iron or steel hull the preferred transducer materials would be stainless steel or composite/plastic. Bronze transducers are not recommended for iron or steel hulls because it promotes bi-metallic corrosion and electrolysis. The steel in the vicinity of the bronze transducer will waste away more quickly, which can lead to leaks and flooding.
Jim, Thanks for the great video. It was a great introduction explaining the structure of the NG Canbus system. It really answered a lot of questions and helped me sort out a wiring strategy for my boat. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Hi Jim why would you want to change the frequency from high to low or from low to high? Basically what is the benefit of doing so
High frequency sonar offers enhanced resolution, detail, and target separation, the ability to see the fish individually. The downside to high-frequency sonar is its signal is attenuated more quickly than low-frequency, meaning it can't go as deep. Low-frequency sonar has much longer wave-length signals which can travel to much deeper depths. The downside is the long wavelengths have less resolution, so the image is not a sharp or detailed. That's why most fish finding systems offer both options. A good analogy is FM radio (high frequency) versus AM radio (low frequency.) Music sounds great on FM, but you need to be within a short range of the radio station to hear it. AM radio is a bit more scratchy and muted, but its signal can travel hundreds or thousands of miles and still be heard.
Jim on those overlays where you’re adding a feature to the screen I would like to be able to increase the size of my speed on my screen in my Raymarine element can that be done the same way as the axiom? Can I also adjust the layout of which corner of the screen the speed appears on?
On Element the size of the data item isn't adjustable, but you can change the corner it appears on. Go to Menu...Settings...Databoxes. Each corner of the page can have a different data item assigned to it.
i should have watched this before bugging you on your older videos, this has been very helpful. Thanks You
Glad you found it helpful!
So I would like to plug my Axiom into my Seatalk NG network so I can integrate my Autopilot and Nmea2000 AIS. I have the pigtail them connects the AIS to the Sea Talk-Ng T-Piece then run it to the autopilot then to the Axiom , I believe I need a blue network cable to run to the Axiom then to another t piece at the Axiom then something coming out of the tpeice to the Axiom nmea 2000 coupled with the axiom power cable, can you tell me what the something is?
The cable that goes in between Axiom's NMEA 2000 connector (on its power cable harness) and the white spur socket in your SeaTalk NG network is called a DeviceNet to SeaTalk NG adapter cable. One end is a metal, threaded female connector to mate to Axiom. The other end is a white, plastic, female connector that will plug into the spur connection. A06075 is the part number for it if you need one.
Hi Jim is there a way to link my Raymarine element to myApple IPad or my apple phone? So that I can see the screen when I’m operating the boat from my 2nd steering station at the back of my fishing boat.
Unfortunately the Element system doesn't support screen mirroring to phones and tablets. That feature is only found on Axiom systems.
@@RaymarineInc If I buy another Raymarine element screen ….can it be linked up to my original screen?
I just received my Raymarine element manual and on page 57 it says an element display will share waypoints with the second element display connected to the same see talking NMEA 2000 net work….In English does that mean yes I can connect the second Raymarine element screen?
great video tks guy, bought a 2021 whaler and cant get XM working. Have a network on board, ....fusion 755 with sr200 and says it keeps loading channels after speaking with XM marine team for subscription. Keeps saying check turner on Fusion system, have the Axiom on Sirsus XM and not receiving anything. any ideas why its not working ???
Hello Bob. The SR200 SiriusXM receiver receives both weather information as well as satellite radio. If you choose to activate the radio receiver in it, it must be controlled from the audio app on your Axiom system. It can't be directly controlled from your Fusion source unit. If you want to hear it through your Fusion system, here is how to do it. The SR200 has an analog, stereo left/right preamp output that can be connected to the auxiliary input of the Fusion. This allows you to hear it through your speaker system. Set your Fusion unit to its AUX input as the source, and you'll hear it. The channel selection needs to be done on Axiom though in this configuration. If you want to be able to control the SiriusXM satellite radio fully through the Fusion stereo, you will need to add a Fusion-compatible SiriusXM receiver and connect it to the Fusion source unit. With that setup the SiriusXM input on the Fusion source unit will come to life, and you'll have the channel selection, track names, etc. on the Fusion system. If you are already activated, SiriusXM can split your subscription so the weather goes to the SR200, and the radio to the Fusion's SiriusXM receiver when you activate it.
I would also like to be able to define no go zones as well. On the west coast we have many restricted fishing areas with more coming which would be a great application for defining a no go zone on the chart.
Thank you, Eric! The no-go zones are something we're looking at.
i have a HS5 SeaTalk I plan on connection the Networkswitch to my Axiom and connect my Raymarine directly to the HS5. This seems to connect no issue. However I would like to connect my ACR AISLink to my HS5 but I am unable to find a cable that connects the NMEA on my AIS to the HS5. Is this possible?
Just to confirm, I think the ACR AISLink you are referring to is their CB2 AIS Transponder: www.acrartex.com/products/automatic-identification-system-aislink-cb2/ This ACR device uses NMEA 2000 as its connection method, rather than the Ethernet-based SeaTalk High Speed. To link it to your Axiom you will need to setup either a NMEA 2000 or SeaTalk NG CAN bus backbone, and then link the ACR and Axiom to that backbone. Once connected, Axiom should detect it automatically and will display AIS contacts from it on your Chart and Radar apps. When networking marine electronics like Axiom, there are both high-speed and low-speed communication networks at play. High-bandwidth devices like radar scanners, sonar modules, digital video cameras, etc. all connect to the high speed network using SeaTalk High Speed or RayNet. Low-bandwidth devices like AIS transponders, engine data gateways, GPS sensors, etc. connect together using NMEA 2000 or SeaTalk NG networking. Your Axiom display has a standard NMEA 2000 DeviceNet male connector as part of its wiring harness. If you have an Axiom or Axiom+ 7, 9 or 12-inch screen, the connector is part of its power cable harness. For all other Axiom models the NMEA 2000 port is on the back of the screen. If your boat does not already have SeaTalk NG or NMEA 2000 networking setup, you will need to do so to link these devices together. The data carried on SeaTalk NG and NMEA 2000 cables is identical. SeaTalk NG cabling is unique to Raymarine devices. If you have lots of Raymarine equipment, you may wish to wire the boat in SeaTalk NG. If you have a mix of brands, NMEA 2000 is the way to go. Assuming you have nothing now, to wire it with SeaTalk NG you will need to purchase these items: T70134 SeaTalk NG Starter Kit A06075 DeviceNet to SeaTalk NG adapter cable. You'll need 2 of these. One is for Axiom, the other for the ACR. Connect them using the threaded connector to each device. Plug the white end into the 5-way block supplied in the starter kit. Apply 12-volts to the 5-way block using the red cable included in the starter kit, and plug the 2 blue terminators into the blue ports on the 5-way block. Complete! If you choose to wire with standard NMEA 2000 cabling, you'll need to order a 3rd party NMEA 2000 starter kit. I recommend looking at the Ancor Brand dual device NMEA 2000 starter kit, their part number 270202, as it has all the cables and connectors needed included. Your local dealer, boat yard, West Marine, or online reseller can get it for you. Connect the dual device connector and the powered T-Connector together. Wire the power lead to 12 volts. Use the 2 supplied drop cables to attach Axiom and ACR to each port on the dual connector. Finally, install the male and female terminator plugs into the ends of the network. Complete!
@@RaymarineInc Thanks for getting back to me, I have the following I wish to network. A Raymarine Autopilot, AIS as mentioned to my axiom. The autopilot is obviously on the ng network with one t-piece, I also have a small piece that screws on to the AIS and it has the white coupling on it so it will plug directly into the T piece where it runs on side to the t connect for the autopilot now I am thinking I need to run the blue network cable 15 feet away to the helm with the autopilot lives. There I assume I need a t connector, and something to connect the t connector to the Axiom NMEA2000 cable. If I am right on this can you tell specifically what will plug from the t connector to the NMEA2000 comming out of the Axiom. Again very much appreciate your help on this.
Watched this video because yesterday we got almost knocked down by a squall. We are a sail boat and we’re going downwind in about 20 to 25kts of wind. Thinking back we did see some odd clouds over the land but didn’t think it was rain as it was more or less over all the land. Wind then increased to over 35kts and we had way too much sail up. We basically deliberately rounded up and went into hove too for safety whilst we reduced sail area so we could continue. What was interesting is that once we had sorted out the boat the radar started one of its 30 scans every 3 mins, it’s a function we have on most of the time, we also have Doppler on, and there low and behold was a huge green mass of to our stb side and behind us an equally large red mass. Both of these were obviously not land as we could see land to our port side. The green mass to stb kept moving away and the red also veered off to stb slowly changing to green. If only we had the radar on fully, and were looking at it, we would have seen the approaching storm cell. To say how big it was we were near a wind farm off the east Irish coast and two very large installation ships were about 2 miles to our stb side. We heard them transmit to each other basically asking what the hell was that ? they said “it was like a mini hurricane”. We were heading into a harbour and today, the day after, locals are talking about the storm that came from nowhere and only lasted 5 minutes. Quite frightening. Thanks for your videos Jim they are always informative, helpful and occasionally amusing ! (Brain Fart 🤔)
Thanks for watching and commenting, Simon! The radar is a great tool for squall tracking. The rain filtering in the Quantum radars is very effective to the point that we have a specific "weather" mode that is selectable from the menu that can be used to emphasize weather activity on the scope.
And my next question Jim my speed over water does not read on my Raymarine we cleaned out the little tiny hole and tested it with the water hose spray and it moved my speedometer on the dash no problem but again it’s not connected to my Raymarine. Can you give me some ideas as to why my speed over water does not show on my element?
Your Element system can display speed over ground (SOG) from its GPS receiver as well as Speed Through Water (Speed) supplied by an external NMEA 2000 source. If your speedometer has an NMEA 2000 network connection it can also be connected to the NMEA 2000 backbone along with the Yamaha engine gateway. You'd need to add another T-Connector to create a port to plug it into, and a drop cable to make the connection. Before you buy anything you should confirm that your speedometer has this physical connection. Some do not. If the speedometer you have now is a Yamaha instrument, it may be part of the Command Link network already. In this case its Speed Through Water data may be included in the stream of data when the engine interface is installed.
Hi Jim I own Raymarine element, The power cord that goes to the back of the element splits into 2 electrical lines And the first one ends shortly under the dash with a small clip on the end and has male prongs in it. What is this wire for? My second question is that my two engines a 200 hp Yamaha and a 15 hp trolling motor do not connect to my Raymarine so I can get the data on my dashboard, I did fire up the engine as per prompts on element screen and attempt to connect but it will not connect. I did have the dealerships at this Raymarine element up when I bought the boat a couple years ago obviously I’m missing something here how can I get my boat motor dashboard to read on my Raymarine?
The short pigtail on the Element's power cable is its NMEA 2000 data connection. This is the connection through which engine data can be connected, and it also allows Element to communicate with other devices like autopilots, instruments, external GPS receivers, etc. Element's Dashboard application can display engine information from Yamaha engines through that NMEA 2000 connection. To make it connect you will need to add either a Yamaha 6YG engine gateway or a 3rd party Yamaha-compatible NMEA 2000 engine gateway to your engine's data bus. On a Yamaha system, this data bus is called Command Link or Command Link+. The gateway plugs into the Command Link hub located under your helm, and then provides an output to the NMEA 2000 network. This is what the Yamaha 6YG gateway looks like. This kit also includes the necessary Command Link pigtail to plug the gateway into your Yamaha hub. The metal threaded connection on it is the NMEA 2000 port. www.simyamaha.com/command-link-plus-and-command-link-n2k-gateway-kit-with-pigtail-wire-6y8-82521-01-00-6yg-8a2d0-12-00kit/ To connect it to Element you'll need to setup a very basic NMEA 2000 powered backbone. The backbone is powered with 12 volts from the boat, and then both the Yamaha gateway and Element get plugged into the backbone using T-connectors. Note, you cannot run a cable directly from the gateway to Element. You must setup a backbone, and then connect both Element and the Yamaha gateway to it. Assuming NMEA 2000 is not setup on your boat yet, you can purchase a basic NMEA 2000 starter kit online or through your dealer that will have all the parts you need included. As an example, the Ancor brand dual device NMEA 2000 starter kit (their part number 270202) is widely available and has everything you'll need included to connect both Element and the Yamaha gateway. Email me at james.mcgowan@raymarine.com and I can send you back a basic diagram of how it goes together.
That's awesome!! Can't come out soon enough.🤙🎣
I know you'll love it.
Nice seminar as always. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Would this be available for the element too, I hope so it would be a great aid to a lot fishermen.🎣
At the moment this feature is only scheduled for Axiom-series units, but I'll make the suggestion to our product team that they get it into Element products too.
Another question Jim has a pick up speed in the boat I lose my feet measurement to the bottom of the lake on the display, is there any way to improve the reception so it continues to read at higher speeds? Or in heads up mode travelling to a weighpoint?
If you're losing your depth reading at speed you may need to adjust the position of your transducer on the back of the boat. The depth reading is lost when air from the boat's wake/hull cavitation gets underneath the transducer. The stream of air blocks the transmission of the sonic signals from the transducer into the water. The transducer mounting bracket is slotted to allow you to adjust the height of the transducer. The transducer's bottom face should be lower than the bottom of the boat to allow air bubbles to flow around it, rather than under it. You can also adjust the running angle of the transducer as needed to improve bottom tracking and reduce on-screen noise. The HV-100 transducer installation manual offers some guidance on making these adjustments on page 26. You can view the manual online here if you need it: raymarine.app.box.com/s/rvhycb6x1brzo64921k5tsqwv2ica3j6/folder/64779940014
My next question while using my Raymarine element on a split screes the sonar screen would drop out it would turn black End it would give me a sonar warning saying it cannot connect? Why would this be happening? Very frustrating
The sonar dropping out indicates either the voltage being delivered to Element is too low (low battery, dirty or loose connection, undersized wiring feeding power to it) or the transducer connector is not tight in the back of the unit. Please check those items and also check the advice in response to your other comment too.
I was out this weekend on a fishing trip and my Raymarine element kept rebooting it would show the fishfinder screen and then all of a sudden go black with the words element on it and then it would reboot this happened at least 10 or 20 times. Do you have any idea how I can prevent this from happening in the future or why it is happening??
First, I would double check your power connection. Make sure the connections are tight at both the display side, and at the bus-bar or breaker end. Double-check that the connectors are also clean. With that many re-boots, I'd tend to think the display is starving for power, or the power is getting interrupted. Please unplug the power cable from the screen, and using a multimeter, verify the voltage that is being delivered to the display at the power leads. For Element we'd like to see at least 8-volts, and no more than 16-volts. Ideally you'll see about 12.5 volts with the engines off, and around 13 or so with the engines running. If the power drops much below 11 volts, you are first going to see the sonar begin to hiccup, as you mentioned in another comment. The sonar system internally consumes the most power when it is on and transmitting. If the current available to the unit drops too low, Element will shut down the sonar to protect it. The screen and GPS will keep running. If this keeps giving you trouble, please open a ticket with our technical support team at www.raymarine.com/support so we can troubleshoot further.
Can you please do a Ray Live episode for all the sailing data and display functionality?
Hi Kevin. We'll try to get another sailing episode in the schedule. In case you have not seen it yet, this recent episode covers some of it too: ruclips.net/user/liveVOxGyj9vc90
@@RaymarineInc yes. I have seen that episode. Very Alpha centric.
My Axiom is often has a delayed boot up or will just say Axiom for an entire trip unless I reboot the batteries and sometimes that doesn't work. Axiom is great but this is super annoying. How can I get this fixed without sending back the unit?
Hello Jeff. I suggest updating your software to make sure Axiom is running the latest version. Currently, version 4.6 is the most current. You can download it from Raymarine.com to a microSD card and install it that way, or, if you have internet access onboard Axiom can update itself. Go to Home..Settings...Software Update...Update Online. Your system might also benefit from a factory reset. There is a memory buffer inside Axiom that it uses for various functions. There might be some corrupted or old junk information in the buffer causing the slowdown. If you have waypoints and routes you want to keep you can back them up before resetting. Go to Home...My Data...Import/Export...and use the "Save My Data" button to create backups on your map or memory card. Once you have backed up, go to Home...Settings...This Display. Factory Reset is on the bottom. Once Axiom restarts you can restore your data in that same Import/Export menu using the Import from Card function.
Why has position and time disappeared from my Axiom?
Position and time comes from your GPS receiver. All Axiom models have a built-in GPS sensor, but can also be configured to work with an external GPS too. First, lets check the status of your internal GPS receiver. On the home screen, normall the boat's latitude and longitude is displayed on the top left corner. Touch that area, select Satellites from the popup menu. This diagram will show you what satellites, if any, that Axiom is tracking. Touch the Settings tab at the top, scroll to the bottom, and touch the Restart GPS button. This will force the GPS receiver to re-boot itself. It wil begin re-acquiring satellites within a minute or so, and will hopefully get a GPS fix. At the very bottom of that settings menu is another switch that allows you to turn on or off Axiom's internal GPS receiver. Unless you know you have an external GPS sensor attached, this should be on. If this doesn't get your fix and time back, I suggest giving our support team a call from the boat, or opening a support ticket so we can troubleshoot further with you. You can get it touch with technical support here: www.raymarine.com/support
I own the Raymarine element and I have Navionics subscription, I don’t understand how purchasing separate charts would assist me? When I purchase navionics does it not show me already all the topography onderwater in the Lakes and or Ocean Its programmed it for? Do you get more detail or something when you purchase an individual chart? Some clarity on the chart issue is appreciated
Navionics updates their nautical charts on a regular basis. When you purchase a new Navionics map, individually or bundled with a system, it includes 1-year of free chart updates. This allows you to keep your charts up-to-date with any recent changes. If you have never activated your Navionics subscription you can do so from their website. You'll need to have your map card with you, plugged into a card reader in your computer to update it. Navionics also makes regular updates to the bathymetric fishing chart layer also included with your chart card. Those updates come from both official surveys as well as from data collected from other Navionics users through their SonarChart Live program. Many Navionics-equipped chartplotters, including your Element system, can collect live depth information and built bathymetric contour charts on-the-fly. During the chart update process you can submit any data you have collected to Navionics, and receive updates to your local charts that have been collected from other users and normalized by the Navionics system. After the 1st year, Navionics charges a subscription to keep receiving updates. Any charts you have are yours to keep, forever. The subscription is not required to maintain access to your charts.
Anchor monitor would be great.
Have you tried the Anchoring mode in Axiom's chartplotter? It helps you to precision-drop your anchor, calculate an appropriate scope of chain or line, and keeps track of the boat's swing and drag. In your chartplotter touch Menu...Mode...and choose Anchor to start the anchoring wizard.
Hey There, greetings from Brazil. When will it be released and how to set this up? Thanks!
This feature is coming with Lighthouse 4.7, later this summer. We'll be releasing more information on it soon.
Really Like the short vids with explanation on the new Features. Can't wait!👍
Thanks for watching! Smart Drift will be a very handy feature, for sure. Coming soon!
Very clever. But remember your global market…. It’s only USA that are mad keen on fishing, here in the UK it’s about going to the next marina or bay for a beer.
Smart Drift is for more than just fishing. If you were anchoring up before putting the dingy in the water, you could use Smart Drift to make sure your boat drifts back into the proper anchorage before dropping the hook.
💯💯💯

I have this computer with software version v3.12.110 which I am trying to update to the latest version, we have tried using version v3.16.84 PRIME, the process started but then it stopped and the update did not occur, then we tried with V4.1.75 and also, we managed to connect via wife and we executed the update process, she starts downloading the files but when it reaches a point the computer restarts and does nothing. I have several photos and videos of what the team is doing. What I can do?
Hello Luis. You might want to download this update directly from Raymarine.com to your computer, then transfer it onto a microSD card and update it that way instead of using Wi-Fi. Where you are updating from a very old version, Axiom has quite a few things going on in the background to get your unit up-to-date. I suspect that if you are upgrading via Wi-Fi, it might be running out of storage space to complete its tasks. You can download the latest software, version 4.6, here: www.raymarine.com/en-us/download/lighthouse-4-update-for-axiom-chartplotters If that does not help, please open a ticket with our technical support team here and we can help direct you in the best manner to get your Axiom upgraded. www.raymarine.com/support.
