[CA] AXIOM PRO RVX

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum dmb,

Q1. AXIOM PRO RVX, what benefit would I have if I just ran this with a 1kw B275L-HW or If I installed a CP470 and ran the same B275L-HW?
A1. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject.

Q2. What kind of performance can I expect on the 3d side if I ran a second transom mount transducer?
A2. From an installation location standpoint, it is not recommended that transom mounted transducers be installed on the same side of the keel as are thru-hull (transducers, water pick-ups, etc.). From the standpoint of frequency interference, I would expect there to be little or no frequency interference between the 1kW CHIRP and RV transducers. You may want to consider installing the transom mounted 1kW CHIRP ransducer on the opposite side of the keel at the same height as the transom mounted RV transducer to avoid potential shadowing which may result when the transom mounted 1kW CHIRP transducer is installed too close and below the height of the transom mounted RV transducer.

Q3. Will the B275 fit in the fairing block for the B258?
A3. Raymarine 1kW CHIRP transducers are produced by Airmar, Inc.. I would recommend that this question be addressed to Gemeco, Inc. (Airmar’s US distributor (803 693 0777)) for absolute confirmation.
