Raymarine a97 Multifunction Display

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.

Key Features

• 9-inch sunlight-viewable touchscreen offers a useful working area without the size of a larger 12-inch display.
• Built-in 50/200 kHz 600-watt digital sonar combines navigation and fishfinding in one unit.
• Fish targeting to 3,000 feet supports deeper-water use with a compatible transducer.
• LightHouse II interface gives touchscreen chart control with pinch-to-zoom handling.
• Compatible with Navionics and LightHouse Raster/Vector USA charts keeps cartography options open.
• Dual RayNet and SeaTalkng/NMEA2000 networking support integration with other electronics across the boat.

Applications

• Well suited to coastal anglers who want a single display for navigation and fishfinding at the helm.
• Useful on cruising boats where sonar, route planning, and future expansion to radar or weather are all part of the requirements.
• A good fit for users who want the functionality of a combo display in a 9-inch size rather than a larger bridge unit.
