Overview
Built for anglers who want a high-capability helm display, this control head brings sonar, mapping, and connectivity together in a sunlight-readable screen. It supports the full LiveScope live-scanning sonar lineup when paired with compatible accessories sold separately, and built-in WiFi makes it easy to connect with the ActiveCaptain app for chart updates and screen sharing. Multi-band GPS adds positional accuracy, while the quick-release bail mount and included sun cover make installation and day-to-day use more practical. Because this is a control head only, it is intended for users who already have or plan to add the transducer and sonar components they need.

- Control head only: a transducer is not included, so the unit requires compatible sonar hardware to be added separately.
- LiveScope support is included, but the full LiveScope live-scanning sonar lineup is sold separately.
- This is a premium display-and-navigation unit, so it may be more system than needed if you only want basic fish-finding functions.
- The kit is focused on the head unit and core mounting/accessory pieces; additional charting or sonar components may still be needed depending on your setup.
