Description
Raymarine RVM-420 Thru-Hull Pair 20 Deg Deadrise Sonar | Boat Supply Store
Engineered for vessels with moderate hull deadrise angles, the Raymarine RVM-420 Stainless Steel Thru-Hull Pair delivers unparalleled sonar clarity and stabilization. Its 20-degree tilted elements are precisely calibrated for hulls with 15-25 degrees of deadrise, eliminating the need for drag-inducing fairing blocks. Integrated AHRS provides real-time heading and attitude compensation for crystal-clear 3D sonar imagery, essential for deep-water structure fishing or navigating complex offshore environments.

Common Concerns Answered
The installation seems complex. Can I do this myself?
The RVM-420 is a thru-hull installation, requiring precise hole placement and proper sealing. While manageable for experienced DIYers, professional installation by a marine technician is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure hull integrity. The installation manual provides detailed guidance.
What if I don't have a compatible Raymarine display?
This transducer pair is specifically designed for integration with Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro RVM series Multi-Function Displays or RVM1600 Sounder Modules. Cross-brand compatibility is not supported, so ensure you have the correct Raymarine MFD to leverage its advanced features.
Is the price of the RVM-420 justified compared to simpler transducers?
The RVM-420 offers significantly advanced capabilities, including integrated AHRS for 3D stabilization and specialized sonar technologies like DownVision™ and SideVision™, which are not found in basic transducers. The price reflects these high-performance features and the specific engineering for optimized sonar on certain hull types.
