Detailed description

Designed for direct integration with AXIOM2 Pro multifunction displays and RVM1600 sounder modules, the Raymarine RVM-100 RealVision 3D flushmount transducer (reference A80703) offers advanced sonar imaging capabilities. This transducer allows users to visualize underwater structures and fish schools with a three-dimensional representation of the seabed, complementing traditional DownVision and SideVision views.

Advanced Sonar Technology and Simplified Integration

The RVM-100 integrates RealVision 3D technology, which differs from 2D CHIRP sonars or older models such as the CPT series (DownVision/SideVision only) by its ability to generate a volumetric image of the seabed. This feature provides enhanced spatial understanding of the underwater environment. Its direct connection to AXIOM2 Pro units, which have integrated RealVision sonar capabilities, or to the external RVM1600 module, simplifies installation by eliminating the need for additional black-box sonar units in compatible setups. The provided 8-meter cable facilitates rear-deck mounting on various vessel types.

Positioning and Compatibility

The RVM-100 is part of Raymarine’s RealVision transducer range, offering a flushmount solution for modern navigation systems. It is optimized to operate with LightHouse 4 software (version v4.10.149 as referenced in documentation), ensuring compatibility with Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, Axiom XL, and Axiom 2 XL displays. Compared to the through-hull RVM-400 series transducers, the RVM-100 provides a more accessible and less intrusive mounting option for vessels where hull drilling is undesirable, while retaining RealVision 3D imaging capabilities. AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) calibration is supported to optimize 3D image quality by compensating for boat movements.

« Technical analysis of the Raymarine RVM-100 RealVision 3D flush-mount sonar »

The Raymarine RVM-100 RealVision 3D flush-mount sonar (A80703) is a key component for recreational boaters and anglers seeking detailed underwater visualization without the complexity of a through-hull installation. Its practical value lies in its ability to deliver RealVision 3D, DownVision, and SideVision imagery directly integrated with Axiom 2 Pro MFDs or via the RVM1600 module. This approach significantly simplifies system architecture by reducing the number of external boxes, a notable advantage for mid-sized boats where space is often limited and wiring simplification is critical.

For installation, rear-deck mounting is generally faster and less expensive than a through-hull setup. The 8-meter cable supplied is sufficient for most boats under 10-12 meters, but an extension may be required for larger units or complex installations. It is crucial to select a rear-deck location that minimizes water turbulence to ensure optimal image quality, especially at high speeds. The AHRS calibration is a mandatory post-installation step to ensure 3D representation accuracy by compensating for the boat's pitch and roll.

The RVM-100 differs from conventional sonar by its native 3D imaging, offering a unique perspective for identifying structures and fish schools. It is particularly well-suited to sportfishing boats or coastal cruisers where precise knowledge of underwater terrain is an asset. However, for offshore applications or very high-speed boats, a through-hull RVM-400 series sonar may deliver better performance and water stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Which sonar technology does the Raymarine RVM-100 RealVision 3D sounder use?

The RVM-100 sounder integrates RealVision 3D technology, which provides a three-dimensional representation of the seabed. It also complements the traditional DownVision and SideVision views, as well as the high-frequency CHIRP sonar for precise target detection.

Which Raymarine multifunction displays is the RVM-100 transducer compatible with?

The RVM-100 transducer is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays from the following series:

AxiomAxiom+Axiom ProAxiom XL Axiom 2 XL Axiom 2 Pro

It is optimized to operate with LightHouse 4 software (v4.10.149 or later recommended).

How does the RVM-100 transducer connect to my Raymarine navigation system?

The RVM-100 transducer is designed for direct connection. It connects directly to AXIOM2 Pro multifunction displays, which have integrated RealVision sonar capabilities. For other compatible Axiom displays, the transducer connects directly to the RVM1600 external sounder module.

What is the mounting type for the RVM-100 RealVision 3D transducer?

The RVM-100 is a transom-mount transducer. This mounting type is a practical and minimally invasive option for boats where hull drilling is to be avoided, while retaining RealVision 3D imaging capabilities.

What is the length of the cable supplied with the RVM-100 transducer?

The RVM-100 transducer comes with an 8-metre cable. This length is designed to facilitate installation on the transom of various types of vessels.

Does the RVM-100 transducer require an external fishfinder module (black box)?

No, the RVM-100 transducer does not require an additional black-box sonar module if connected to an Axiom2 Pro multifunction display, as these units already integrate RealVision sonar capabilities. If using another compatible Axiom display, the transducer connects directly to the external RVM1600 fishfinder module.

Does the RVM-100 transducer support AHRS calibration?

Yes, the RVM-100 transducer supports AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System) calibration for RealVision technology. This calibration is critical for stabilizing sonar imagery and compensating for boat motion, providing a more accurate representation of the seabed.

What are the main imaging capabilities offered by the RVM-100 RealVision 3D fishfinder?

The RVM-100 RealVision 3D transducer provides several advanced imaging capabilities for a better understanding of the underwater environment:

RealVision 3D: Generates a volumetric 3D image of the seabed, structures, and fish schools.
DownVision: Provides a detailed view beneath the boat, similar to a photographic image.
SideVision: Offers a side view of structures and fish on either side of the boat.
High-frequency CHIRP sonar: Enables precise target detection and excellent separation.
