Raymarine Axiom 7DV 7" MFD CPT-100DVS Lighthouse North America Chart

The Raymarine Axiom 7DV 7" MFD with integrated DownVision and Lighthouse North America Chart is a purpose-built marine navigation system for serious anglers and cruising boaters who demand real-time sonar clarity and precise chart data. After years on the water, you know that a quality multifunction display is the central hub of modern boat electronics—merging navigation, fish finding, and situational awareness into one reliable glass cockpit. The Axiom 7DV delivers that integration with a 7-inch touchscreen platform and Lighthouse pre-loaded chart coverage, eliminating the need for separate chart purchases and allowing you to get on the water immediately.

DownVision sonar technology produces high-resolution images of the water column and bottom structure by transmitting a narrow beam directly beneath your hull, revealing fish holding areas, submerged timber, ledges, and hard cover with exceptional detail. Unlike traditional side-imaging alone, DownVision excels in shallow to moderate depths and pairs seamlessly with the Lighthouse North America chart layer, allowing you to overlay sonar imagery directly onto bathymetric and coastal data. The 7-inch display offers excellent visibility in direct sunlight and intuitive menu navigation, while the CPT-100DVS transducer provides dual-frequency capability—55/200 kHz for general sonar and the DownVision frequency for that bottom-hugging clarity anglers crave when targeting structure.

This system is ideal for freshwater and saltwater anglers who fish lakes, rivers, and coastal bays across North America, where Lighthouse chart coverage is most comprehensive and regularly updated. Installation requires a transom or trolling motor mount for the CPT-100DVS transducer and helm mounting for the display unit; most dealers handle these details, but ensure your boat's electrical system supports a dedicated 12-24V power supply. The Axiom 7DV integrates with other Raymarine networked devices via NMEA 2000 connectivity, making it an excellent foundation for scaling your electronics suite as your needs evolve.
