[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum rarambarri,

Q1 How do I connect Axiom 12 to Airmar B164-20?
A1. B164-20 describes a family of transducers. Had the tranducer in question previously been directly interfaced to the Transducer socket a DSM300? If so, then the transducer will be connected to an A80489 Transducer Adapter, which in turn will be interfaced to the Axiom RV MFD's Transducer socket

Q2 Do I disconnect Airmar B164-20 from the sounder it is attached to and go directly to AXIOM?
A2. Negative ... see the response to Q1.

Q3. What adapter Cable do I need?
A3. See the response to Q1.

Q4 And finally, Should I add a fuse to the backbone power cable (A06049) or it is not necessary?
A4. Yes. The SeaTalkng Power Cable should connected to a switched 12VDC power circuit, which is protected by a 5A fuse / breaker.
