See Clearer and Go Deeper Than Ever

Success in fishing is never guaranteed. Enhance your chances by getting the full picture of what lies below and ensuring that they can run, but they can’t hide.

The RVM1600 for Axiom® chartplotters takes multi-channel fishfinder performance to new depths. The next generation of CHIRP DownVision, SideVision, 3D and traditional CHIRP sonar, RealVision® MAX fishfinder technology delivers more power so you can fish at the top of your game.  

MAXIMUM CLARITY

RealVision MAX starts with high-performance CHIRP transducers, upgraded with larger elements and increased power output for extended fishfinder range performance.

RealVision MAX CHIRP also offers signal processing and faster ping rates for improved fishfinder imagery and target identification.

Finally, with RealVision MAX, structure is more recognizable, and the most elusive fish are easily identifiable with high-contrast RealVision MAX sonar color palettes.

RealVision MAX Color Palettes

High-contrast color fishfinder palettes are refined to accentuate targets and make fish stand out from the water column.

Maximum Range

RealVision MAX transducers are upgraded with a more powerful 600-watt High CHIRP frequency. The result is deeper range performance and stronger fishfinder target returns – which allows you to track the bottom in depths greater than 1,200' (366 meters) and find fish beyond 400' (123 meters).


Multi-Channel Fishfinder

CHIRP DownVision® delivers a photo-like fishfinder view of the world beneath your boat. See bottom structures and fish targets with amazing detail.

CHIRP SideVision® sonar expands your underwater horizon with full port and starboard coverage of fish, bait and underwater structure, allowing you to see more fish from a greater distance than traditional side scanning sonars.

RealVision® MAX 3D fishfinder lets you see below, behind and to the sides of the boat to provide a new perspective of the underwater world that simplifies locating and staying on structure.

RealVision MAX Transducers

RealVision MAX transom mount and through hull transducers provide DownVision®, SideVision®, 600-Watt High CHIRP and 3D sonar capability to the RVM1600.  RealVision MAX transducers feature a built-in attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) for stabilizing 3D sonar imagery and automatically compensating for vessel motion. Plus, a fast-response, built-in water temperature sensor provides quick and accurate sea temperature readings.
