The Raymarine CP100 is a sonar module built around Raymarine’s patented CHIRP DownVision™ technology, setting a new benchmark for underwater visibility. The CP100 delivers photo-realistic, crystal-clear views of everything beneath your boat, allowing captains and anglers to observe bottom contours and structure (such as vegetation, rocks, submerged timber, or wrecks) with near-photographic quality. At the same time, this module can detect individual fish targets thanks to its dual-channel design.
Dual-Channel CHIRP Sonar: The CP100 is equipped with two independent CHIRP sonar channels for maximum effectiveness. The first is an ultra-high-frequency DownVision channel, which provides an incredibly detailed image of the bottom and underwater objects – perfect for identifying structures and fish hiding spots with clarity reminiscent of an underwater photograph. The second is a conventional CHIRP fish-finding channel (around 200 kHz) that helps you clearly see individual fish and bait schools. You can view both channels simultaneously in a split-screen mode or individually as needed, giving you a comprehensive view of the underwater environment at all times.
The CP100 DownVision sonar can reach depths of about 183 meters (600 feet) for its DownVision imaging, making it ideal for freshwater bodies (lakes, reservoirs) and coastal marine areas. Within this range, the level of detail remains impressive – you’ll be able to discern bottom composition and objects that traditional sonars might miss. The standard CHIRP fish-targeting channel can often penetrate even deeper (up to ~270 m/900 ft), allowing you to track fish below your boat beyond the DownVision range.
Integration and Usage: The CP100 connects seamlessly with compatible Raymarine multifunction displays (a-Series, c-Series, e-Series, gS-Series, as well as via network to Element/Axiom displays), adding a high-quality imaging sonar to your navigation system. Thanks to automatic ClearPulse digital processing, the module minimizes surface clutter and noise, so you won’t need to constantly fiddle with sensitivity or gain – the CP100 self-adjusts for optimal images in varying conditions. The result is a far more realistic representation of the underwater world: bottom structure appears clearly as if drawn in detail, and fish targets stand out distinctly from their surroundings.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to upgrade your vessel with a high-resolution imaging sonar, the CP100 DownVision is an excellent choice. It will let you “see” underwater – explore new fishing spots, locate submerged objects, or confidently examine bottom structure before dropping anchor. With the CP100, you’ll feel more confident in unfamiliar waters and gain a significant advantage in finding fish and navigating around underwater obstacles.
