Raymarine Axiom 2 XL 16 – 15.6 Multifunction Display

Description

The Raymarine Axiom 2 XL 16 is the display-only option for a larger Raymarine helm where the owner already has a card reader, alarm, and accessory plan. Its 15.6-inch Full HD screen gives charts, radar, video, and vessel data room to stay visible together. This model fits premium cruisers, sportfishers, and larger center consoles that need more than a standard 12-inch display.

The HydroTough IPS touchscreen is rated at 1200 nits, so it is built for daylight helm use rather than a sheltered cabin only. LightHouse 4 is the operating platform, and chart support includes LightHouse, Navionics, and C-MAP. Two RayNet ports, HDMI input/output, USB, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Bluetooth cover the key network connections. Fishfinding still requires CP Series network sonar and a separately selected transducer.

Key Features

Warranty & Support

Raymarine provides a 3-year warranty with registration. The supplied specifications do not state exclusions or service procedures.

The base Axiom 2 XL 16 is the right choice when the boat already has or does not need the RCR-SD reader, alarm, and cable included with the bundle. The screen and core network platform are the same. The trade-off is fewer included accessories, so it works best in a custom Raymarine bridge installation.
