Hi guys, on my boat I have an axiom9 with RV100 transducer, since 2023. When the law do it's possible, I love fishing red tuna (blue fin tuna), but I think mine, is not the best configuration for the drifting in deep water (80-120m), because 1) I never see the target when I playing. 2) And when I go to 20Kn, I always lose the bottom, at 80m depth. Can you recommend the right transduser to improve? Thanks in advance for your kind reply. Best regards.
Your Axiom 9 RV has an additional internal sonar option you could activate by adding a Y-Cable adapter and a second transducer. The adapter cable is our part number A80492. With that cable adapter attached you can run any of our CP370-series sonar transducers in addition to your RV-100. The secondary sonar inside your Axiom RV transmits with 600-watts of power on frequencies of 200 kHz and 50 kHz. You will likely find that the 50 kHz frequency works well for your application because of its high power, longer wavelength, and deeper depth penetration. As for transducer options you could go with something inexpensive like our E66054 P66 depth/speed/temperature transducer. The E66048 TM258 transom mount is higher performing option with larger ceramic elements inside. The A66089 M260 In-hull version is also an option. There are others as well. Any transducer listed as compatible with the CP370 sonar on this page would work in this setup: www.raymarine.com/en-us/our-products/fishfinders-sonar-modules/fishfinder-transducers There are 2 minor tradeoffs if you do this. First, the high frequency CHIRP sonar channel on your RV100 goes away. It is replaced by the 200 kHz non-CHIRP channel of the new transducer. Second, the water temperature sensor in the RV-100 is disabled. It gets replaced with the temperature sensor in the new transducer. This is not an issue unless you happen to choose an in-hull transducer, which doesn't make contact with the water. Should you go in-hull, you would no longer have a water temperature readout.
Hi Jim Would you mind answering a question for me regarding a element hv. When I drop a waypoint and move away from it then pass over it, it does not show up on my screen, what am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance Paul Uk
Hello Paul. On the Element HV, any waypoints you drop in the chart plotter should be visible when you come back unless you adjusted the visibility settings of the waypoints to turn them off. That can be done right in the waypoint list. There is a show/hide control that can be applied to individual waypoints, or groups of them. On the various fishfinder screens, I don't think Element can visually show you when you re-encounter previously dropped waypoints. You'd probably want to use a split-screen of chart and fishfinder to do that so you can see the point on the chart.
Hi Jim I watched a video of yours, its 4 years old title Tips for your raymarine fishfinder on a channel called kayak fishing tales, your discussing waypoints at 52 minutes 30 seconds, where it is stated that when you drop a waypoint when you come back around you will be able to see it on the chart and the echo screens, I'm not getting this and as the element saves the waypoint it should through GPS remember where it is? Forgive me I'm a technophobe and new to raymarine. Many thanks Regards Paul
@RaymarineInc Thanks for replying Also in sonar split screen why i cant have two colours palettes. Like low in classic blue. and high in classic white? Much easier to the eyes. Thanks for approving axioms Features.
Question... Why does TJ have the B275LHW connected to a CP570 the B275LHW is a 1kw transducer ? Why does he not have it connected to a CP470 or directly to his axiom pro ?? Reason is I have a CP570 and I also have a B275LHW but I have the transducer connection to my pro rvx and not connected to my CP570 my CP570 is on the shelf .. I was told " not by raymarine " thr 570 was over kill to run the B275LHW.. is there an advantage to install my cp570 and run my transducer through that rather then connected directly to my axiom pro rvx ?
Hi Terry. Thanks for watching! I must apologize for an error in my statement in the live broadcast (this is Jim responding.) I thought TJ had CP570 onboard but in fact he does not. He is running his B275LHW transducer connected to an RVM-1600 RealVision MAX sonar module, networked to the rest of his Axiom 2 Pro displays. The RVM-1600 module has connections for a RealVison 3D transducer (which TJ does not have) and an Airmar 1kW transducer (hosting the B275HW.) It is technically possible to connect a 1kW transducer to the CP570. There are pluses and minuses to it. The minus is that the CP570 supports up to 2kW transducers. With a 1kW attached, you are paying for more power output capability than you can use. The CP570, through transducer ID, sees that the transducer is rated for 1kW and adjusts itself accordingly so it doesn't damage the transducer with too much power. The benefit the CP570 brings with any Airmar CHIRP transducer is its dual-channel architecture. The CP570 module actually has dual sonars internally. There is a dedicated transceiver, input and output channel for frequency 1, and another independent transceiver, input and output channel for frequency 2. Each channel can run at full-speed, maximum ping rate, all the time, with direct access to its own transceiver. Nothing is shared between the 2 frequencies. By comparison, the RVM-1600, CP470 and Axiom 2 Pro RVM's built-in 1kW sonar transceivers are constructed with single-channel architecture. Instead of having dedicated components for each frequency, the transceiver, input channel and output channel are shared between frequencies 1 and 2. If you are using any individual channel, it can run at full speed, full ping rate. If you are using both frequencies simultaneously, it must share those components, alternating pings between frequency 1 and frequency 2. The makes the update rate slower, by comparison. In some scenarios, especially in very deep water this can make the on-screen update rate appear very slow if you need to watch both frequencies. (In the case of the RVM-1600 and Axiom 2 Pro RVM, those units also support RealVision 3D, which has its own separate transceiver, input and output channel.) Ideally, the ultimate solution is a 2kW transducer used with a CP570 because you get a power-matched setup with all the benefits of dual-channel design. The challenge is this setup can be expensive, and the 2kW transducers can be too large for some boats to accommodate. I hope this explains it better, and apologies again for mis-identifying his system components.
@@RaymarineInc - Hey Jim, great explanation. Can you talk about the Axiom Pro (1) 12 RVX, and the difference between the RV and 1KW transducer connection in regards to shared channel? I have two transducers connected to the axiom, a RV-100 and a TM265LH connected to the 1kw connector. I have 1 app configured with 3 screens (TM265 Low Chirp/TM265 High Chirp and RV-100 side vision.) In 2000 feet of water, the scroll speed is very slow. Does the RV and 1KW connector have their own channel, or is it shared between the two transducers? I also see a lot of interference on the side vision, is it recommended to not display two transducers together on the same page? Thanks
Ya and on top of that, Tuna.com jumped on the Raymarine band wagon. Now won't see it. I hope they decide to start it back up even on another network. Great show. Was watched by all in our marina and fishing clubs.
Great show as usual. Nice to do a video after or just before a software update on what's new and how to work it. 🤙
Thanks for watching! I think you'll really like the new SmartDrift feature in the 4.7 software.
Smartdrift WITH the new Zoom feature !! Killer combo. Please keep up the Sonar Features!!🤞🤙

Hi
Can we have in the tune frequency a beam degrees angle adjustable as well .
Please
I'll feed this request back to Braden and his sonar engineering team to take a look at. Thanks for watching!
