Simrad GO5 XSE w/Active Imaging 3-in-1 Transom Mount Transducer & C-MAP Pro Chart

Imagine heading out for a day of fishing or cruising on your sportboat, with crystal-clear charts guiding you to the best spots and sonar revealing fish and structure like never before. The Simrad GO5 XSE bundle with Active Imaging 3-in-1 transom mount transducer and C-MAP Pro chart turns that vision into reality, packing pro-level performance into a compact 5-inch touchscreen that's ideal for smaller vessels. Anglers love how it simplifies spotting baitfish schools and drop-offs, while powerboaters appreciate the intuitive routing and trip tracking that keep adventures stress-free.

Intuitive Touchscreen Controls That Feel Like Home

Familiarize yourself with the GO5 XSE in seconds—its multi-touch interface mimics your smartphone, letting you pinch to zoom on detailed charts, drag to explore waterways, or tap to drop waypoints effortlessly. No steep learning curve means more time enjoying the water. Customize your home screen with quick-access icons for sonar, charts, or engine data, and swap wallpapers to match your boat's vibe. Split-screen layouts let you monitor depth, speed, and position simultaneously, adapting to whether you're trolling for bass or cruising coastal bays.

Active Imaging 3-in-1: Game-Changing Sonar for Serious Anglers

The included Active Imaging 3-in-1 transom mount transducer elevates your fishing game with CHIRP sonar for precise fish arches across the water column, plus high-definition SideScan and DownScan views that paint picture-perfect images of wrecks, reefs, and submerged timber. Spot fish hiding in cover from up to 300 feet away on either side, or map the bottom directly below for pinpoint bait placement. Pair it with ForwardScan (transducer sold separately) for ahead-of-the-boat depth previews, dodging shallows on uncharted flats. Real-world tip: In murky lakes, toggle between traditional sonar and imaging modes to separate bait from keepers instantly.

Versatile Charting with C-MAP Pro and Beyond

Preloaded C-MAP Pro charts deliver shaded relief bathymetry, custom depth shading, and up-to-date coastal details for confident navigation. The GO5 XSE supports the broadest chart ecosystem, so you can overlay Navionics or Insight layers for high-res detail on your favorite fishing grounds. Automatic routing calculates safe paths based on your boat's draft, while high-speed GPS (10Hz updates) ensures smooth tracking even at 40+ knots. TripIntel overlays fuel range rings on charts, logs past routes, and predicts tides—perfect for planning multi-stop days without guesswork.

Tailored for Powerboating and Everyday Adventures

Power boaters rave about the dedicated Cruise Charting page, consolidating speed, heading, fuel flow, and charts into one glanceable view. Connect via NMEA 2000 to engines, sensors, or gauges for custom digital dashboards that declutter your console. Wi-Fi unlocks wireless updates, map downloads, and app mirroring—control everything from your phone while trailering or at the dock. For tunes on the water, integrate SonicHub for Bluetooth streaming straight to the display.

Rugged Build Ready for Real Marine Conditions

Slim and lightweight at just over a pound, the GO5 XSE boasts a super-bright 1200-nit LED-backlit display visible even in direct sun, with 800x480 resolution packing sharp details into its 5-inch widescreen. IPX7 waterproofing shrugs off spray and splashes, operating reliably from freezing dawns to scorching afternoons. Low power draw (under 1A) suits battery-conscious setups, and its single NMEA load keeps wiring simple.

For dayboats, RIBs, and center consoles under 25 feet, this all-in-one powerhouse delivers big-boat features without overwhelming space or budget. It's not just gear—it's the edge that turns casual outings into trophy hunts or seamless cruises.
