My 46 ft pilot house boat has ten year old C90W MFD's on both the upper and lower helm. This basic system utilizes a DSM30 sounder module and internal GPS from upper helm C90W. No other navigation electronics.
I intend to add a new Axiom Pro 12 RVX to the lower helm and an Axiom Pro 12 S to the upper helm. Also will be adding radar, autopilot and wind instruments. Raymarine is new to me and I have some questions.
- The Pro 12 RVX has an internal 1KW chirp sounder. When I look on the Raymarine site for compatible transducers, the Axiom series not even listed, only a, c or e series. I currently have an Airmar B60 600w through hull transducer. I know this is not as good as a 1KW chirp TD but can I use it as my primary transducer? I will not be using the 3D sonar, at least not initially.
Thanks for your help.
