Raymarine Element 7 S Combo w/Lighthouse North America Chart

The Raymarine Element 7 S is a compact chartplotter and fishfinder with LightHouse North America Charts, a 7-inch optically bonded LCD, keypad controls, and built-in single-channel High CHIRP sonar. NMEA 2000 and WiFi networking are included in the specification, and Quantum radar compatibility gives the unit a clear expansion path for smaller coastal boats and fishing vessels.

Who Is This For?

This model suits small center consoles, coastal fishing boats, bay boats, and cruisers that prefer keypad control over touchscreen operation. The optically bonded display and compact size suit a helm where installation space is limited.

It is not ideal for buyers who want a larger high-resolution screen or a complete transducer bundle, because the supplied specifications do not identify a transducer as included. It also provides less sonar capability than units with SideScan or DownScan listed.

Warranty & Support

Raymarine provides a 3-year limited warranty with product registration. The supplied specifications do not state warranty exclusions or service procedures.

The Element 7 S is the straightforward Raymarine choice for buyers who prefer physical keypad operation and need a compact display with preloaded North American charts. Its main advantages are simple control, NMEA 2000, WiFi, and Quantum radar compatibility. The trade-off is the single-channel High CHIRP sonar and the lack of a listed included transducer, so it is less suited to buyers seeking a complete multi-view sonar bundle.
