The Raymarine Axiom 2 12 is a 12 inch all-glass multifunction display running the LightHouse 4 operating system on a hexacore processor. It is a chart-only model, so there is no internal sonar and the full screen is given over to navigation, radar, video, engine data and digital switching. Gigabit RayNet Ethernet, NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let it sit at the centre of a networked Raymarine system. Supplied with pre-loaded LightHouse Mediterranean charts.

Description

The Axiom 2 12 is the largest display in Raymarine's latest Axiom range, built around a hexacore processor that boots faster and redraws charts noticeably more quickly than the Axiom+ generation it replaces. This is a chart-only model, so there is no internal sonar module and the whole screen is available for navigation, radar, thermal and IP video, engine data and digital switching.

The 12 inch IPS panel runs at 1280 x 800 with 1800 nits of brightness and a HydroTough oleophobic coating, so it stays readable in direct sun and sheds spray and fingerprints. LightHouse 4 opens up more than thirty apps alongside LightHouse Charts Gen 2, Navionics, C-MAP and Imray cartography, and the display can be trunnion, surface, flush or front mounted using the supplied and optional hardware.

Gigabit RayNet Ethernet ties the display into a wider Raymarine system of radars, cameras, sonar modules and further displays, while NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth handle instruments, autopilots and wireless audio. Network an external sonar module if you want fishfinding, or step up to the Axiom 2 12 RV for a built-in RealVision 3D sounder.

This version ships with LightHouse Mediterranean charts pre-loaded, ready to navigate out of the box.

Does the Axiom 2 12 (E70724) have a built-in fishfinder?
No. E70724 is a chart-only model, so there is no internal sonar module and no 25-pin transducer connector on the rear. If you want a built-in sounder, choose the Axiom 2 12 RV (E70725), which adds RealVision 3D, SideVision, DownVision and conical CHIRP. Alternatively you can network an external Raymarine sonar module over RayNet.
Will the Axiom 2 12 fit the cut-out left by my old chartplotter?
Adaptor plates are available: A80527 suits an a12x cut-out (new fixing holes), A80528 a c12x or e12x cut-out and A80529 a C120 or E120 Classic cut-out, both reusing the existing holes. Where the existing holes cannot be reused, a template is supplied with the plate.
Which charts and card readers does it support?
LightHouse Charts Gen 2 plus Navionics, C-MAP, Imray and S-63 encrypted charts. A MicroSDXC card slot is built in. The optional RCR-SDUSB accessory (A80440) connects to the USB Micro B port and adds a full size SD card slot and a USB-A socket, and the RCR-2 adds two MicroSDHC slots.
What software version does an Axiom 2 need?
Axiom 2 chartplotters require LightHouse 4 v4.11.103 as a minimum. Raymarine recommends updating to the latest LightHouse 4 release so that all features and connected Raymarine devices are fully supported.
How is the Axiom 2 12 powered and networked?
It runs from a 12 V dc nominal supply (8 V to 16 V dc range) and needs a 7 A inline fuse or thermal breaker. The supplied cable carries both power and a NMEA 2000 DeviceNet connection, and a DeviceNet to SeaTalk NG adaptor cable is included. A single gigabit RayNet port handles radar, cameras, sonar modules and additional displays.
