Humminbird XPT-9-HW-T Dual Spectrum CHIRP Portable Transducer w/Temp

Unlock Crystal-Clear Underwater Views with the Ultimate Portable Sonar Solution

Imagine gliding across the water in your kayak, canoe, or even during ice fishing sessions, with real-time sonar data revealing fish locations, structure, and bottom contours without permanent modifications to your boat. The XPT-9-HW-T stands out as a game-changer for anglers seeking flexibility and top-tier performance. Its suction cup design clings securely to smooth hull surfaces, delivering Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar that's sharp, versatile, and ready for action on compatible Humminbird units.

What sets this transducer apart? It combines a high-frequency beam with a generous wide cone angle, painting a detailed picture of the underwater world up to impressive depths. Whether you're targeting panfish in shallow bays or hunting trophy walleye in deeper waters, this portable powerhouse adapts to your needs with customizable CHIRP sweeps.

Key Features That Deliver Real-World Results

• Dual Spectrum CHIRP Technology: Switch seamlessly between wide coverage for broad searches and narrow beams for pinpoint precision, capturing everything from baitfish schools to subtle ledges.
• Built-In Temperature Sensor: Track water temp changes that influence fish behavior, helping you adjust tactics on the fly—essential for thermocline hunting or seasonal shifts.
• Suction Cup Mounting System: Effortless setup and removal; perfect for multi-boat use, rentals, or testing spots without drilling or adhesives.
• Rugged Construction: Engineered for tough marine conditions, ensuring reliability season after season in freshwater or saltwater pursuits.
• Extended Cable Reach: 20 feet of cable gives you placement flexibility, keeping your display clutter-free.

Pro Tip: While exceptional at trolling speeds or stationary fishing, opt for lower velocities to maintain optimal signal integrity—ideal for drift fishing or anchored setups.

Seamless Compatibility Across Humminbird Lineups

This transducer pairs flawlessly with a range of HELIX series models, enhancing your fish finder's capabilities as a dedicated 2D sonar source. It's a smart upgrade for GPS-equipped HELIX 5 CHIRP G2, various HELIX 7 configurations (G2, G3, G2N, G3N), and larger screens like HELIX 8, 9, 10, and 12 CHIRP G2N/G3N—all models welcome. Even ICE HELIX CHIRP G2 shines in open water mode for year-round versatility.

Note for advanced users: On units with Side Imaging or Down Imaging, it excels purely in 2D sonar mode, focusing energy on superior traditional returns without compromising your setup.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

Installation Made Simple for On-the-Water Pros

Setting up is a breeze: Clean your hull surface, position the suction cup firmly, route the cable neatly, and connect to your unit's 7-pin port. No tools required beyond what's included, making it a 5-minute job. For best results, mount forward of the propeller to avoid turbulence, and test in shallow water first. Kayak anglers love how it detaches cleanly for transport or storage.

Enhance performance by pairing with Humminbird's intuitive software updates, which refine CHIRP processing for even clearer separation of targets from clutter.

Perfect for Kayak Fishing, Ice Fishing, and Beyond

From skinny water kayak launches where permanent mounts aren't feasible, to frozen lakes demanding portable gear, this transducer thrives in dynamic scenarios. Smallmouth bass hunters appreciate the wide cone for scanning flats, while crappie jigging pros rely on temp readings to locate suspended schools. It's also a favorite for rental boats or guest setups at the cabin—versatility without commitment.

Why Anglers Trust This Portable Transducer

Crafted with marine-grade durability, it withstands splashes, bumps, and brutal weather, backed by a manufacturer's commitment to quality. The result? Fewer headaches, more fish in the livewell.
