[TG] [TG11] Echosounder Purchase

[Tom - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello asichnav,

Sorry you've not had a reply before. Your post got assigned to me whilst I was out of the office.

I'd suggest an Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX display (http://www.raymarine.com.au/multifunction-displays/. They have the DownVision imaging capability of the CP100, but also add SideVision which looks out port-starboard and can take a direct transducer connection. You'd also need a compatible transducer, which would be one of the RV transducer range (http://www.raymarine.com.au/transducers/realvision/, which are available in transom-mount or through-hull options in various materials (plastic, bronze, SS) and with tilted elements for different hull dead-rises.

The Axiom Pro displays have clearer screens, hard-keys as well as touchscreen for control in adverse conditions and the capability to also connect a high power offshore depth transducer, but of course at a higher cost.

If you can let me know more about the boat (outboard or inboard, hull shape/type and material) I can help choose a transducer.

Regards,
Tom
