Humminbird APEX® 13 VX MSI+ Chartplotter/Fishfinder w/Transom Mount Transducer Product Description
Transform Your Fishing Game with Crystal-Clear Insights
Picture this: you're out on the water at dawn, scanning for that perfect school of walleye hiding in a submerged weedline. With the APEX 13 VX MSI+, every subtle contour, fish arc, and structure pops into view like never before. This isn't just a fishfinder—it's your command center, blending razor-sharp sonar with intuitive mapping to put you steps ahead of the competition. Anglers rave about how its MEGA Imaging+ reveals hidden spots up to 250 feet away, turning guesswork into precision strikes.
Whether you're chasing bass in shallow bays or trolling deep for lake trout, the 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen delivers split-screen views tailored to your style. Swipe, tap, or use the keypad—control feels natural, even with gloves on. Dual-core processing keeps everything buttery smooth, no matter how many layers of data you're juggling.
Unmatched Sonar for Spot-On Targeting
At the heart lies industry-leading sonar tech. MEGA Side Imaging+ and MEGA Down Imaging+ paint photorealistic pictures of the bottom, sides, and below your boat, with coverage angles from 20° to 86° for versatility across conditions. Dual Spectrum CHIRP excels in murky water, separating fish from clutter with exceptional clarity.
- Dual Channel Power: Hook up high-wattage 2D CHIRP transducers up to 2kW on a dedicated port, plus another for MEGA options—perfect for serious setups.
- Real-Time Mapping: AutoChart Live lets you chart contours, hardness, and vegetation on the fly. Eight hours of built-in storage expands endlessly with SD cards, so your custom maps evolve with every trip.
- Pro Tip: In high-traffic lakes, toggle to 2D CHIRP for traffic-heavy areas, then switch to MEGA for scouting—maximizes battery life and detail where it counts.
Build a Seamless On-Water Ecosystem
The One-Boat Network shines here, linking your display to Minn Kota trolling motors for spot-on positioning and Cannon downriggers for effortless depth control—all wireless via Bluetooth. Dual Ethernet ports network multiple units without hubs, while NMEA 2000 pulls in engine data, weather, and more.
HDMI in/out supports cameras for live docking views or extra screens. WiFi enables app updates, and Bluetooth handles notifications without pulling out your phone. Tournament pros stack these for a cockpit-like setup on open water.
- Customization Galore: Sidebar menus and view combos let you dial in dashboards—sonar full-screen, charts inset, or networked feeds side-by-side.
- Expansion Ready: Add MEGA Live 2 for live fish action (forward/down modes with zoom) to watch strikes unfold in real time.
Easy Setup and Rugged Build
Sleek low-profile design fits flush in-dash (external GPS antenna recommended) or gimbal mounts. The included transom-mount transducer (XM 14 HW MSI T) installs quickly, capturing wide coverage right out of the box.
Power draw stays efficient at 3.1 amps (10.8-20 VDC), suiting most boats. Weighing just over 8 pounds, it's helm-friendly without skimping on durability.
