Humminbird APEX® 13 MSI+ Chartplotter
Humminbird APEX® 13 MSI+ Chartplotter — Product description
Unlock Crystal-Clear Views Beneath the Surface
Picture this: you're out on the water at dawn, chasing trophy walleye in a tangle of weed beds and drop-offs. With the APEX 13 MSI+ Chartplotter, that mental image turns into pinpoint reality. This powerhouse multi-function display combines razor-sharp sonar imaging with intuitive controls, letting you spot fish, structure, and bottom contours like never before. Anglers who demand the best swear by its ability to reveal details that older units simply miss, turning good days into epic ones.
Superior Sonar That Sees What Others Can't
At the heart of this chartplotter lies industry-leading MEGA Side Imaging+ and Down Imaging+, pushing side views out to 200 feet on each side with 20% more detail and clarity than previous generations. Dive deeper with extended range down to 200 feet, capturing every nuance of the underwater world. Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar sweeps a broad frequency range for unmatched target separation—fish arches pop against thermoclines, rocks, and timber with surgical precision.
- MEGA Live Imaging: Watch fish react in real-time as your lure dances through the water column.
- Dual Channel CHIRP: Handle high-power 2kW transducers for serious offshore runs or finesse inland tactics.
- MEGA 360 Imaging: Full 360-degree sweeps up to 125 feet, perfect for idling over humps or holding on structure.
Pro tip: Dial in higher frequencies for shallow, cluttered water to cut through baitfish schools, or drop to lower CHIRP bands for deep-water kings lurking near the bottom.
A Display That Demands Your Attention
The 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen (1920x1080 resolution) delivers vibrant, sunlight-readable visuals that make every scan feel immersive. Cross Touch interface means you choose—swipe and tap like a smartphone, or use soft keys for gloved hands in rough conditions. Dual-core processing keeps everything buttery smooth, even with multiple views stacked: sonar, charts, and networking data all at once.
Customize your layout with sidebar menus for split-screen combos tailored to your style—Side/Down Imaging side-by-side with a GPS highway for highway-to-hotspot runs.
Mapping and Navigation That Keep You on Fish
Built-in GPS pairs with Humminbird's enhanced Basemap, covering over 10,000 lakes and coastal U.S. waters. Spot contours, hazards, marinas, and depth markers effortlessly. AutoChart Live lets you build custom maps on the fly, recording bottom hardness, vegetation, and contours with eight hours of onboard storage—expand endlessly with SD cards.
Upgrade to premium charts for even more detail, and watch waypoints become goldmines as Precision GPS locks in your spots with pinpoint accuracy.
Seamless Integration for a Connected Boat
One-Boat Network ties it all together: sync with Minn Kota trolling motors for spot-lock precision, control Cannon downriggers wirelessly, and share data across units. Dual Ethernet ports build robust networks without extra hubs. NMEA 2000 pulls in engine stats, weather, and more; HDMI in/out handles cameras; Bluetooth handles app updates and notifications; Wi-Fi keeps software current.
Anglers rigging tournament boats love how it scales—add heads, radar, or i-Pilot Link for a pro-grade setup that anticipates your every move.
Ready for Real-World Fishing
This unit ships ready to fish with a transom-mount transducer, power cable, gimbal bracket, and mounting hardware. Installation is straightforward for DIYers: flush or surface mount, route cables cleanly, and calibrate sonar in calm water. Fine-tune transducer angle for optimal Down Imaging—slight upward tilt often nails it.
Backed by a two-year limited warranty, it's built to withstand splashes, vibrations, and salt spray.
Tips to Maximize Your APEX Experience
- Run MEGA SI+ at boat speeds under 3 mph for max range; speed up to 5-6 mph for coverage.
- Use AutoChart Live on structure-rich lakes to map private honey holes.
- Pair with high-power transducers for big water; stick with stock for most freshwater pursuits.
- Network multiple units for crew viewing—share sonar returns fleet-wide.
