The Raymarine Element 7 HV is the fishing-focused counterpart to the Element S series. While both share the same quad-core speed and rugged keypad interface, the “HV” stands for HyperVision, a suite of ultra-high-resolution sonar technologies designed specifically for anglers and underwater structure scanning.

The Element 7 HV is a 7-inch combination chartplotter and fishfinder. It is powered by the LightHouse Sport OS, which is optimized for quick navigation and sonar toggling. The standout feature is the 1.2 MHz HyperVision sonar, which provides lifelike 3D, side, and downward imaging in shallow water.

Key Features

• HyperVision™ 1.2 MHz Sonar: Delivers super-high-resolution imaging of structure, vegetation, and fish at depths up to 30 meters (100 feet).

• All-in-One Sonar Suite: Includes DownVision, SideVision, RealVision 3D, and conventional High CHIRP sonar for deeper water (up to 274 meters).

• LightHouse Sport OS: A simplified, non-touch interface that uses a physical keypad and rotary dial, making it ideal for use with wet hands or in rough conditions.

• Quad-Core Processor: Ensures instantaneous chart redrawing, fast 3D rendering, and responsive menu navigation.

• Smart Networking: Includes NMEA 2000 support for engine monitoring, tank sensors, and AIS. Like the S-series, it connects to Raymarine Quantum Radar via Wi-Fi.

• RealBathy™ Personal Mapping: Allows you to generate your own high-definition bathymetric (contour) charts in real-time as you drive the boat.
