eS/gS and AXIOM compatibility
Digital Skipper |1/05, 2024

As Raymarine continues to develop and introduce new features and capabilities to the LightHouse 4 operating system, they are ending the ability to downgrade LightHouse software to version 3.11.42 on certain Axiom models.
Downgrading an Axiom display to version 3.11.42 enables Axiom system compatibility with older eS/gS Series systems running LightHouse 3, but more modern hardware can no longer be downgraded (e.g., AXIOM +).
Axiom Pro compatibility with eS and gS Series:
Note that Axiom Pro models manufactured after August 2022 can no longer be downgraded to a LightHouse software version compatible with eS and gS systems.
Please consult the table below for compatibility when adding an Axiom display to an older eS or gS Series system.
