Raymarine Axiom Sonar Channels

[@madtraxx1895]

How do you create those split views? I’ve been trying to do this but have been unsuccessful so far…

[@RaymarineInc]

Long-press on any time on your Axiom home screen and then select Customize from the popup menu. This brings you into the page editor. On the next screen you choose the split layout you want, then assign apps to each tile. Next, you can give the layout a name. Here's a quick tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3m2Z2adr76drM0

what frequency should I be using for largemouth & smallmouth & walleyes?

[@RaymarineInc]

Hi Joey. Those fish show up very well in our high CHIRP band (170 to 230 kHz) as well as in our SideVision and DownVision channels (320 to 380 kHz.)

ok thanks for feed back.

rv 220 can install at step hull ？

[@RaymarineInc]

The RV220 is a through hull transducer. It does need to have smooth water flow over its face for optimal performance. Hull steps are normally engineered to suck air in under the hull, or create a layer of cavitation when running at planing speed. That would not be ideal for any through hull transducer as the sonar energy can not transition from water to air, then back to water. You'd want to ensure the RV220's are mounted forward of the forward-most step to work at higher speeds, or be content to know that they would only function at lower speeds when the steps are not generating bubbles. If you have never seen a stepped hull in action from the underwater view, this video is a great example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaqVoWCamdGCbMU The bubble stream created by the steps is fantastic for boat performance at planing speed, but a disaster for sonar/fishfinder transducer performance. When the sonar transducer broadcasts into the water, the sound energy needs a steady medium (water) to travel through. When the sound energy hits the bubble curtain, it is effectively stopped dead by the bubbles.
