Detailed description

Designed for direct integration with Raymarine Axiom multifunction displays, the RV-400 stainless steel through-hull transducer provides an underwater detection solution. This transducer integrates RealVision 3D technology, combining DownVision, SideVision, high-frequency CHIRP sonar, and 3D visualization. This versatility enables detailed exploration of the water column and underwater structures, optimizing navigation and fish detection.

Design and installation

Made of stainless steel, the RV-400 transducer is intended for flat hulls with a 0° tilt at the installation point. Its through-hull design ensures stable and consistent sonar performance, even at high speeds, as it is not subject to turbulence generated by the transom. The included 8-meter cable provides a direct and simplified connection to Axiom MFDs, reducing installation complexity.

Positioning and compatibility

Compared to traditional CHIRP transducers such as Raymarine’s CPT-S or CPT-100/120 models, the RV-400 occupies the all-in-one segment. It offers advanced side-scanning and 3D features in addition to conventional CHIRP sonar. It serves as an integrated alternative to external transducer modules like the CP-370 or CP-470, simplifying system architecture for Axiom display users. This transducer is part of Raymarine’s RealVision range, compatible with the latest versions of LightHouse 4 software on Axiom, Axiom+, and Axiom Pro MFDs.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis: RealVision 3D through-hull transducer for Raymarine Axiom »

The Raymarine RV-400 through-hull transducer is a suitable choice for powerboats with a hull deadrise angle of 0° at the installation point. Its main advantage lies in the integration of RealVision 3D technology, providing detailed visualization of underwater structures, fish, and seabeds. This capability is particularly useful for fishing or navigating in shallow or cluttered waters, allowing precise identification of obstacles or concentrations of marine life.

Installing this through-hull transducer requires drilling the hull. It is crucial to select a location where water flow is laminar and free of turbulence to ensure optimal sonar performance, especially at high speeds. The stainless-steel body provides enhanced mechanical strength and durability in marine environments, including saline conditions. The 8-meter cable, designed for direct connection to Axiom displays, simplifies wiring and reduces the need for intermediate modules, which is an advantage in terms of installation complexity and potential failure points compared to modular systems.

Unlike transom-mount transducers, the RV-400 delivers consistent performance at high speeds and improved signal penetration, as it is not subject to water separation. Its 0° tilt distinguishes it from angled-element models (such as the RV-410 or RV-420) and must be strictly adhered to for compatible hulls. For deep-V hulls, other models with a compensated tilt angle would be more appropriate to maintain a vertical sonar beam.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What sonar technologies are integrated in the Raymarine RV-400 transducer?

The RV-400 transducer integrates Raymarine's RealVision 3D technology. This technology combines multiple sonar features for detailed underwater visualization:

DownVision: Provides clear, photo-realistic images of structures and fish beneath the boat.SideVision: Offers a side view of the seabed and targets, allowing a wider area to be scanned.High-frequency CHIRP sonar: Delivers precise fish and structure detection.3D visualization: Enables a three-dimensional representation of the underwater environment, making data interpretation easier.

For which type of hull is the Raymarine RV-400 through-hull transducer specifically designed?

The RV-400 stainless steel through-hull transducer is designed for installation on flat hulls. It is specifically suited for installations where the hull angle is 0° at the mounting point. Its through-hull design ensures stable and consistent sonar performance even at high speeds, as it is unaffected by turbulence generated by the transom.

Which Raymarine multifunction displays are compatible with the RV-400 transducer?

The RV-400 transducer is designed for direct integration with Raymarine multifunction displays. It is compatible with the Axiom series, including Axiom, Axiom+, and Axiom Pro MFDs, provided they run the latest LightHouse 4 software version. This compatibility ensures access to all advanced features of the transducer, including RealVision 3D technology.

What is the length of the RV-400 transducer cable, and can it be extended?

The RV-400 transducer comes with an integrated 8-metre cable for direct connection to Axiom multifunction displays. If additional length is required for installation, specific extension cables for RealVision 3D transducers are available and can be used to extend the range.

Is calibration required after installing the RV-400 transducer?

Yes, after physically installing the RV-400 transducer, calibration of the RealVision AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) is required. This calibration optimizes 3D visualization performance by compensating for the boat's heel and trim, ensuring accurate representation of the seabed and targets. Calibration is performed via the Axiom multifunction display interface.

Can antifouling paint be applied to the Raymarine RV-400 transducer?

Yes, it is possible to apply antifouling paint to the RV-400 transducer to prevent marine fouling. It is recommended to use water-based antifouling paints or those specifically formulated for transducers, avoiding solvent-based products that could damage the transducer surface. It is important not to paint the active face of the transducer to avoid impairing its performance.

Can the RV-400 transducer replace an external Raymarine fishfinder module?

Yes, the RV-400 transducer is an all-in-one solution that can replace the need for an external fishfinder module for Axiom display users. It directly integrates advanced side-scanning, 3D, and conventional CHIRP sonar functions, simplifying system architecture compared to using external modules like the CP-370 or CP-470.

How can I register the warranty for my Raymarine RV-400 depth sounder?

To register the warranty for your Raymarine RV-400 depth sounder, you must visit the official Raymarine website. Registering your product is recommended to fully benefit from the manufacturer's warranty support and services.
