Raymarine Element 9S – 9" GPS Chartplotter with CHIRP Sonar

Stepping up to a 9-inch display, the Raymarine Element 9S offers boaters a larger viewing area for charts and sonar, making it perfect for mid-sized vessels that require more screen real estate. This model provides the same easy-to-use features and reliable performance as the smaller Element S units, but with enhanced readability and the option for split-screen viewing thanks to its bigger display. With high CHIRP sonar built in, you’ll receive dependable depth readings and fish targeting for coastal cruising or lake fishing, while the integrated 10Hz GPS ensures your position and movement are tracked with exceptional accuracy.

The Element 9S maintains the series’ focus on simplicity and speed. Its LightHouse Sport operating system is straightforward, allowing you to switch between navigation charts and sonar views effortlessly. The quad-core processor ensures that even with a 9" screen showing detailed maps and data, everything runs smoothly. The device’s interface is entirely keypad-driven – no touch screen to worry about – which means you can operate it confidently in rough seas or while wearing gloves. You can customize your home screen with the information and tools you use most, making your boating experience even more efficient.

This unit is also designed to be the center of your boat’s electronics network. Via NMEA 2000, it can communicate with an array of optional equipment: you can connect a Raymarine Quantum radar for increased situational awareness, link an AIS receiver to display nearby boat traffic, or integrate an autopilot to maintain course on long voyages. All these capabilities turn the Element 9S into not just a chartplotter/fishfinder, but a command hub for your boat. And because it’s built tough with a waterproof construction ready for marine use, you can trust it to perform reliably season after season.

• Perfect for Mid-Size Motorboats: The 9-inch display is ideal for boats in the 5–7 meter range that can accommodate a larger screen, making it easier to see detailed charts and sonar from a distance or at high speeds.
• Enhanced Fishing Experience: The larger screen allows comfortable split-screen viewing of chart and sonar simultaneously, so anglers can navigate and monitor fish targets at the same time – excellent for coastal fishing trips or bigger reservoirs.
• Primary Navigation Display: Serves as a full-featured navigation center for small yachts or cruising boats, supporting route planning, engine monitoring (with optional integration), and safety features like AIS overlays on the chart.
• Future-Proof Upgrade: As your needs evolve, the Element 9S can expand with you – easily add a radar for night or fog navigation, connect to an autopilot for hands-free cruising, and display sailing or engine data, all on one screen.
• User-Friendly for All Skill Levels: Whether you’re upgrading from a smaller plotter or equipping a new boat, the Element 9S’s intuitive interface and quick setup mean you’ll spend less time learning electronics and more time enjoying your time on the water.
