Humminbird XP-14-HW-T Dual Spectrum CHIRP In-Hull Transducer w/Temp f/SOLIX™

Discover the power of crystal-clear underwater imaging without compromising your boat's sleek lines. The Humminbird XP-14-HW-T stands out as a top-tier in-hull transducer designed specifically for boaters who demand high-performance sonar on single-layer fiberglass hulls. This puck-style unit delivers Dual Spectrum CHIRP technology, blending a high-frequency beam with an expansive cone angle to reveal fish, structure, and bottom details like never before. Whether you're chasing trophy bass in shallow bays or scanning deep water for walleye, this transducer ensures you stay ahead of the game.

Unlike traditional thru-hull mounts that require drilling, the XP-14-HW-T glues seamlessly inside your hull using the included epoxy kit. This setup minimizes drag, protects against underwater hazards, and maintains your vessel's integrity. Paired with its built-in temperature sensor, you'll get real-time water temp readings alongside sonar data, helping you pinpoint thermoclines where fish congregate. The 14-pin connection and generous cable length make integration straightforward with your existing setup.

Why Dual Spectrum CHIRP Changes the Game

Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar operates across multiple frequency bands simultaneously, offering versatility that single-frequency systems can't match. The full spectrum spans 150-220 kHz for balanced performance, while narrow (180-240 kHz) provides pinpoint precision for separating closely packed targets, and wide (140-200 kHz) casts a broad net to cover more water. Reaching depths up to 1200 feet, it's perfect for both freshwater and offshore adventures.

Anglers love how this tech cuts through clutter. Imagine distinguishing individual fish in a school or mapping subtle contour changes on a reef—all from inside your hull. The wide cone angle excels in open water, spotting distant schools, while the narrow beam drills down for those bottom-hugging crappie.

Seamless Compatibility with Premium Units

Engineered for peak performance on Humminbird SOLIX G2 models (10, 12, and 15-inch screens), this transducer unlocks the full potential of your display. It also works with APEX series units to their maximum capabilities. Even if you're running Side Imaging or Down Imaging fishfinders, the XP-14-HW-T serves as a robust 2D sonar source, enhancing your overall system without needing extra hardware.

• Optimized for SOLIX G2 across all sizes
• Full Dual Spectrum CHIRP support on compatible units
• 2D sonar fallback for imaging-equipped models
• 14-pin plug for quick, reliable connection

Installation Made Simple for DIY Boaters

Setting up the XP-14-HW-T is a breeze for those comfortable with basic marine installs. Select a flat, stable spot inside your hull, away from strakes or engines to avoid interference. The included epoxy ensures a secure bond, and the 20-foot cable gives you routing flexibility. Dry-fit first, mix the epoxy carefully, and cure per guidelines for optimal signal transmission. Pro tip: Test in a bucket of water before full install to verify functionality. This in-hull approach saves time and keeps your boat trailered-ready without external protrusions.

Real-World Benefits for Serious Anglers

Boat owners switching to this transducer often report sharper images and fewer false readings compared to older wide-band models. The temp probe adds value during tournaments, letting you log water conditions alongside waypoints. It's built tough for harsh marine environments, backed by Humminbird's reputation for durability. Fish more effectively by covering vast areas quickly with the wide mode, then zoom in with narrow for precise jigging spots.

In competitive fishing circles, users rave about its sensitivity in murky water, where traditional sonar struggles. Pair it with your SOLIX for scrolling sonar that updates in real-time, helping you adjust trolling speeds or bait presentations on the fly.
