Overview Raymarine a97 Multifunction Display
Raymarine a97 Multifunction Display combines chartplotter functions with built-in digital sonar in a 9-inch touchscreen format. The source description highlights a dual-frequency 50/200 kHz 600-watt sonar section capable of targeting fish to depths of 3,000 feet when paired with a compatible transducer sold separately.
Beyond fishfinding, the a97 runs Raymarine’s LightHouse II interface and supports both Navionics and LightHouse Raster/Vector USA charts. Dual RayNet ports plus SeaTalkng/NMEA2000 support allow it to expand into a wider onboard network that can include radar, weather, AIS, instruments, autopilots, and other Raymarine displays.
