A65 Chartplotter-Fishfinder System Pack

 

 

A65 Dual Function Chartplotter with RS12 GPS sensor, DSM25 Digital Sounder Module, Transom Mount Triducer included.

 

Product Number: E33024

Overview

The A65 Chartplotter/Fishfinder system pack is a compact, yet powerful navigation system that combines simplicity with advanced chartplotting and HD Digital™ fishfinder technology. A direct sunlight viewable display and rugged submersible construction make the A65 the perfect fit for centre consoles and open cockpits.

 

The A65 is compatible with Navionics Gold charts on Compact Flash cards. Simply place the card in the A65 and detailed marine charts are at your fingertips. Seamless chart technology ensures a clutter free, yet detailed chart presentation with tides, currents, shaded depth contours, navigation aids, spot soundings and more.

 

Compact and accurate, the included RS12 WAAS compatible Satellite Differential Receiver provides pinpoint accuracy to the A65 Chartplotter. A self contained waterproof GPS receiver, the RS12 delivers accuracy better then 3 meters by decoding GPS correction signals from the WAAS and EGNOSS systems. For the ultimate in flexibility, the low profile RS12 GPS sensor can be flush mounted to any horizontal surface, or pole mounted using the included pole mount adapter.

 

Harnessing the power of Raymarine’s HD Digital fishfinder technology, the A65 and the DSM25 digital sounder module offer unmatched fishfinder clarity and precision. Our patented HD Digital technology enables the DSM25 to instantly adapt to changing water and seabed conditions, delivering a dramatically clearer picture than ordinary analog fishfinders. Plus HD Digital technology enables true 'hands-free' automatic operation, for an optimal fishfinder display at all times. Compact and powerful the DSM25 is designed exclusively for the A65 Chartplotter-Fishfinder system. Simply plug it in to the A65 display, connect your transducer and you have the ultimate digital fishfinder. Using the same patented HD Digital technology as its big-brother DSM300, the DSM25 packs 500 watts RMS of power with a dual frequency (50/200 Khz) transceiver for excellent inshore and offshore performance. Directly compatible with the the full array of A-Series transducers, and adaptable to the DSM300 family of transducers*, a wide selection of styles are available to fit almost any boat including transom mounts, thru-hull mounts and in-hull solutions.

 

The A65 Chartplotter/Fishfinder system pack comes complete with A65 display, RS12 GPS sensor, DSM25 sounder module, transom mount transducer, suncover, trunion mounting kit, NMEA input/output cable, power cable, DSM25 interconnect cable and instruction manual.  Simply add your local Navionics Gold chart on Compact Flash and you're ready to go.
