What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Raymarine RV-220S for its exceptional RealVision 3D clarity, calling the underwater visualization a game changer for identifying structure and bait. The seamless plug-and-play integration with Axiom displays is a significant benefit for system builders. Users also value the high frequency CHIRP element for crisp target separation, even when moving fast. The primary friction points involve the complex installation required to achieve optimal 3D performance and the high price point, which slightly impacts the value perception for casual users. Overall, it is viewed as a highly effective investment for serious anglers maximizing their Raymarine system's imaging capabilities.
Know before you buy
Yes. The RV-220S is specifically designed for the starboard side, so you will need to purchase the corresponding port side transducer to achieve the full RealVision 3D imaging capabilities.
The Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) monitors your vessel's pitch and roll. It automatically stabilizes the sonar imagery, ensuring you get clear, consistent views even when the water is choppy or your boat is moving.
No, it is specifically engineered for use with Raymarine Axiom+ RV, Axiom Pro, and RVX-1000 sonar systems. Please verify your specific display model before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
This transducer is designed for a 20-degree deadrise. It is important to confirm your boat's hull deadrise matches this specification to ensure proper installation and accurate sonar performance.
Yes, it comes with a 2-meter (6.5-foot) cable. Depending on the size of your vessel and the distance between the mounting location and your sonar module, you may need to account for this length during your installation planning.
