Raymarine Axiom+ 9 E70636 wiring diagram
Chartplotter-only Axiom+ 9: 12 V nominal, 8–16 V input and 8.95 W maximum. Use a 7 A fuse or thermal breaker. Catalog current is 8.95 W / 12 V; this is not the RV-sonar version. A 24 V boat needs a converter. Its NMEA 2000 connection does not replace the display DC feed. Terminal values are protection-based planning bounds.

Wiring diagram
How the Axiom+ 9 is wired.
Open this example in Crimp to use your own parts and cable lengths. Review the assumptions and installation notes as you adapt the circuit.
The E70636 chartplotter-only example uses the specified 7 A fuse and 8.95 W maximum consumption at 12 V. This model accepts 8–16 V, so do not connect a 24 V bank. RealVision variants have different power figures. Network, transducer and data connections are separate from this DC supply example. Manufacturer installation manual

Run-length and manufacturer assumptions
The editable example uses 3.048 m (10 ft) runs unless a shorter run is stated. Metric overviews round these to 3 m. Adapt the parts and lengths to your installation before choosing cable and protection.

Supporting parts
- 20 ft total of 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) marine cable
- Terminations for 16 AWG cable, matched to the equipment's screw terminals, leads or studs
- 7 A fuse and holder on the positive run
- Heat-shrink, strain relief and terminal boots sized to the cable
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

The chartplotter-only Axiom+ 9
E70636 identifies the 9-inch Axiom+ chartplotter model. The RV version is a different part with different power use and sonar connections. Adding this entry does not imply that a transducer or sonar processor is included. Its own GPS, charts and network data provide the navigation display functions supported by the installed software and accessories.
Use a 12 V supply
Axiom+ 9 takes 12 V nominal, with an 8–16 V input range. It is not a direct 24 V load. On a 24 V vessel, use a correctly sized converter and its required protection. The installation manual specifies a 7 A inline fuse or 7 A thermal breaker for the display.
Connect the supplied cable's red positive and black negative, and terminate its drain conductor as instructed for the vessel's RF ground arrangement. Keep fuse access and cable support after mounting. The combined power/NMEA 2000 harness does not mean the network supplies the screen or that the screen supplies the backbone; both power arrangements need to be understood separately.
The exact chartplotter specification is 8.95 W maximum. The catalog's approximately 0.75 A is 8.95 W / 12 V, a nominal-voltage calculation. It is not the 11.98 W RV-with-transducer rating. Terminal limits are protection-based planning bounds, and no unverified startup current is assigned.
Check location before making a cutout
Temporarily test internal GPS reception at the chosen helm position. Check visibility from the normal operating position, rear ventilation, connector-bend space and compass clearance. Use the template for the exact mounting method and seal with the supplied mounting arrangement. A position that fits the glass may still make the power connector or memory-card access unusable.
Connect RayNet, NMEA 2000 and any other supported accessories only through their intended interfaces. Preserve the seals on unused connections and record which network device supplies each important navigation value.
First start and fault checks
Verify reliable startup, valid position/time, installed chart coverage and correct units. Review alarms and select the intended data sources before navigating. Test with the other high-current equipment operating: resets during a pump or starter event often expose supply voltage drop or a poor connection.
If the display starts but a sensor value is missing, inspect the sensor's own power, network termination, source selection and software compatibility. A larger display fuse will not fix a network fault. Keep a recoverable record of settings before software or system changes and follow the current operating manual for navigation functions.

Example sizing. Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. Results use the example current and run length shown above. Set your actual equipment, lengths and installation conditions in Crimp before choosing hardware.
