Raymarine Element 7S – 7" GPS Chartplotter with High CHIRP Sonar

The Raymarine Element 7S brings advanced navigation and sonar capabilities to boaters in a compact and affordable package. With its 7-inch high-brightness display, you get clear visibility of charts and sonar readings even under direct sunlight. The built-in High CHIRP sonar provides reliable bottom tracking and fish detection, giving you confidence whether you’re cruising open waters or fishing your favorite spot. Engineered for simplicity and easy operation, the Element 7S will allow even casual users to plot courses, mark waypoints, and interpret sonar data without hassle.

Designed for simplicity without sacrificing functionality, the Element 7S runs on Raymarine’s LightHouse Sport OS – a user-friendly interface tailored to cruising and fishing. Three programmable quick-access buttons let you personalize the display for instant access to your most-used screens, and an oversized waypoint key makes marking a fishing hotspot instantaneous. Despite its small size, the Element 7S packs a punch with a powerful processor that offers fast chart redraw and smooth data updates as your boat moves.

What sets the Element 7S apart is its expandability and integration into your boat’s electronics. The unit features a high-precision 10 Hz GPS/GLONASS receiver for accurate navigation and supports a wide range of electronic charts (including Navionics and C-MAP) so you can cruise with confidence anywhere. For those looking to build a more complete system, the Element 7S can connect via NMEA 2000 to optional devices like the wireless Raymarine Quantum radar for collision avoidance and weather tracking, AIS receivers for identifying nearby vessels, autopilots for course keeping, and more. Its rugged construction (IPX6/7) means it’s built to withstand harsh marine conditions, and its efficient power usage is perfect for smaller boats or sailboats where resources are limited.
