RAYMARINE AXIOM PRO RXV They all utilize Raymarine’s HybridTouch control system with full touchscreen, keypad, and integrated control pad/rotary knob control Axiom Pro RVX have 2 complete sonar systems, built in. There are no black-boxes or external modules required. Transducer connect directly to the display. Sonar #1 is our new RealVision 3D system, giving you CHIRP DownVision, CHIRP SideVision, RealVision 3D and high CHIRP fish targeting. Sonar #2 is a full 1kW offshore CHIRP sonar, capable of imaging fish, bait and bottom as deep as 5,000 feet. All Axiom PRO MFD’s are built using optically bonded, IPS LCD display panels. The addition of IPS technology gives them super-wide viewing angles, and makes them compatible with polarized sunglasses from every viewing angle. Ultra-bring backlighting ensures the best possible viewing in even the most challenging conditions. The Raymarine Axiom Pro is really changing the game in marine electronics. The Axiom system already won the Innovation Award at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show. I’ve tried this system, and am outfitting my new Yellowfin 39 Offshore with 2 Axiom Pro 16 inch displays. This system is easy to use and POWERFUL! Axiom PRO MFD’s are networkable, and work with Raymarine’s full line of radar scanners, marine cameras, FLIR thermal night vision, autopilot, instruments and more. Axiom Pro can also be networked together with all-touch Axiom MFDs, which come in 7, 9 or 12-inch versions. This gives you smaller options for tight spaces like towers. raymarine.com Axiom Pro RVX Multifunction Displays come in 9-inch, 12-inch or 16-inch sizes BASS PRO SHOPS OFFSHORE ANGLER PRO BAIT KNIFE & PRO FILLET KNIFE These new Offshore Angler knives are top-notch. They’re constructed from premium German stainless steel, and have an Armor-X coating that won’t rust. The handles are also made from injected molded rubber/plastic for great grip. I just used both these knives to clean a boat load of mahi-mahi and blackfin tuna, and I especially like the index finger slot and upper thumb rest for leverage. Although the bait knife is called a bait knife, it is great for filleting smaller fish, and provides great control. Also, I find that these knives have the perfect amount of flex, so that you can really get close to the bone, and not waste any meat. • Extremely tough, durable premium knife • Precision curved blade with perfect flex • Crafted from quality 4116 German stainless steel • Rockwell Hardness rating: 56-58 • Chemically-bonded Armor-X corrosion-resistant coating • 3-piece injection-molded TPR handle • Designed for maximum leverage, comfort, and safety • Includes sheath basspro.com 76 HOOKED UP DECEMBER 2017 hookedupdesigns.com
