Unlock the full potential of your Raymarine Axiom RV sonar system with this versatile Y-cable adapter. Designed for boaters who demand precise underwater imaging from multiple sources, this cable bridges the gap between your Axiom RV module's 25-pin port and two specialized transducers: a DownVision CPT-1xx unit for crystal-clear down and side scanning, and a CP370-style Airmar transducer for powerful CHIRP sonar performance. Say goodbye to single-transducer limitations and hello to comprehensive marine exploration.

Why Choose This Y-Cable for Dual Transducer Setup?

Combining DownVision's real-time imaging with CHIRP's deep-water target separation creates a powerhouse sonar experience. Whether you're chasing structure-hugging fish in shallow bays or scanning distant schools offshore, this adapter lets you run both transducers simultaneously without additional splitters or complex wiring. It's a game-changer for serious anglers, divers, and navigators who rely on layered sonar data for safer, more productive outings.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual Connectivity: Splits the 25-pin Axiom RV input into a 9-pin for DownVision (CPT-100/110) and an 8-pin for Airmar transducers with CP370-style connectors, enabling simultaneous operation.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No soldering or custom adapters needed—just connect and power up for instant dual-feed sonar overlays.
• Rugged Marine Build: Engineered with waterproof connectors and durable cabling to withstand harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and constant vibration.
• Enhanced Sonar Intelligence: Merge high-resolution DownVision views with wide-band CHIRP sweeps for superior fish ID, bottom contouring, and obstacle detection.
• Space-Saving Design: Eliminates bulky junction boxes, keeping your helm clean and your electronics streamlined.

Perfect Compatibility with Raymarine Systems

This Y-cable pairs seamlessly with Axiom RV and RV-12 sounder modules, supporting a range of transducers including CPT-100, CPT-110 DownVision models, and popular Airmar options like P66 or B150 with 8-pin CP370 interfaces. It's ideal for upgrading legacy setups or building new multi-function displays (MFDs) that prioritize sonar versatility. Always verify your transducer pinouts for optimal performance.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Power down your Axiom RV and disconnect all cables.
2. Plug the 25-pin end into the Axiom RV sonar port.
3. Connect the 9-pin branch to your DownVision CPT-1xx transducer.
4. Attach the 8-pin branch to your CP370-style Airmar transducer.
5. Secure cables away from heat sources and moving parts, then power up and calibrate via the Axiom menu.
6. Test in open water: Switch views to confirm both feeds display crisply.

Pro Tip: Route cables through existing thru-hulls to minimize drag and ensure reliable signals. Most installs take under 30 minutes.

Real-World Advantages for Boaters

Imagine threading needle-like channels with DownVision's photo-like bottom detail while CHIRP locks onto fast-moving baitfish pods. This setup excels in diverse conditions—from murky rivers to deep offshore canyons—delivering data that boosts catch rates and navigation confidence. Anglers report spotting hidden wrecks and marking fish with unprecedented accuracy, turning casual trips into trophy hauls.
