Overview
Built for anglers who want a large, network-ready display at the helm, this control head only model centers on a 13.3" Full-HD touchscreen and advanced sonar and charting capabilities. It includes MEGA Imaging+ and Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar, along with LakeMaster and CoastMaster VX Maps for navigating lakes, waterways, and coastal waters across the United States and Canada. Support for NMEA 2000, HDMI In/Out, WiFi, Bluetooth, and the One-Boat Network makes it a strong fit for integrated boat setups, while the dedicated sonar channel allows flexibility when pairing with an accessory transducer. Because this is a CHO model, it is intended for anglers who want to choose their own transducer or add a second display to an existing Humminbird system.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a CHO (control head only) model, so a transducer is not included and must be selected separately.
- The 13.3" Full-HD touchscreen offers a large, information-rich display, which may be more than some smaller helm setups need.
- Advanced networking and One-Boat Network integration are available, but getting full use of those features depends on compatible accessories and devices.
- Included LakeMaster and CoastMaster VX Maps cover over 13,000 lakes, waterways, and coastal waters in the United States and Canada, so map coverage is region-specific rather than universal.
