Bronze through-hull transducer pack, port and starboard 12° RV-212 RealVision 3D, direct connection to AXIOM (2 x 2m cables, Y-cable and 8m extension)

The RV-212 RealVision 3D pack (reference T70318) is a complete solution for advanced sonar imaging. It includes:

Two bronze through-hull transducers with a 12° tilt.Two 2-meter transducer cables.One Y-cable.An 8-meter extension cable.

Raymarine's RealVision 3D technology provides a detailed three-dimensional view of the seabed, structures, and fish. It combines the capabilities of multiple sonar technologies:

DownVision: for a clear view of structures and fish directly beneath the boat.SideVision: for exploring areas to port and starboard of the vessel.Wide-angle CHIRP: for precise detection of targets over a broad area.By merging this data, the system generates detailed and realistic underwater 3D images.

The RV-212 bronze through-hull transducer pack is designed for hulls with a deadrise angle of 8 to 15 degrees. The transducers are angled at 12°, optimized to compensate for this deadrise and ensure optimal sonar performance.

The RV-212 RealVision 3D transducer pack is designed to connect directly to Raymarine AXIOM multifunction displays (MFD). For full functionality and optimal performance, use LightHouse 4 software (version v4.10.149 or later).

Choosing bronze for through-hull transducers, like those in the RV-212 pack, offers several significant advantages in marine environments:

Corrosion resistance: Bronze provides superior resistance to saltwater corrosion compared to plastic transducers, which is critical for equipment longevity.Strength: Bronze is a stronger and more impact-resistant material, making it particularly advantageous for sport fishing and cruising boats that require high reliability.

The RV-212 pack includes two depth sounders designed to be installed through-hull, one on the port side and the other on the starboard side of the vessel. This dual configuration ensures maximum side coverage and allows the system to generate a consistent and complete 3D view of the seabed and surrounding structures.

Yes, the RV-212 RealVision 3D’s RealVision 3D technology integrates wide-angle CHIRP capabilities. However, it goes beyond traditional CHIRP transducers or DownVision/SideVision models by providing a full three-dimensional view, combining these technologies for richer and more detailed underwater imaging.

RealVision 3D imaging offers significant advantages for underwater detection, including:

Three-dimensional view: It enables visualization of the seabed, submerged structures, and fish schools with a realistic 3D perspective.Detailed detection: By combining DownVision, SideVision, and wide-angle CHIRP, the system delivers highly detailed underwater images, making it easier to identify targets and underwater features.Improved understanding: This immersive view helps fishermen and navigators better understand the underwater environment, locate potential fishing areas, and navigate more safely around obstacles.
