Imagine gliding across the water at dawn, your boat slicing through the mist, and suddenly, crystal-clear images of fish schools and underwater structures light up your screen. That's the everyday reality with the Humminbird APEX 13 MSI+ Chartplotter Control Head Only. This powerhouse display elevates your angling game by pairing advanced sonar visualization with seamless customization, all without a bundled transducer—so you can tailor it perfectly to your vessel's setup.
Crafted for serious anglers who demand precision, the 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen delivers razor-sharp 1920x1080 resolution, capturing every detail from sprawling lake bottoms to elusive baitfish. Whether you're upgrading an existing Humminbird system or building from scratch, this control head only (CHO) model slips effortlessly into your network, sharing data from Minn Kota trolling motors or adding screens for multi-station command centers.
It's not just about seeing fish—it's about dominating the water. The APEX series stands out with its dual-core processor that handles heavy multitasking without a hitch, from split-screen sonar views to real-time chart plotting. Anglers rave about how it transforms guesswork into strategy, letting you pinpoint hotspots before your competitors even launch.
The Cross Touch interface lets you toggle between glove-friendly keys and intuitive swipe controls. Build personalized dashboards: overlay AutoChart Live contours on your basemap, or sync NMEA 2000 data for engine stats alongside sonar returns. With 8 hours of onboard recording, you're always mapping new contours, hardness, and vegetation—then expand with SD cards for unlimited sessions.
Plug into the One-Boat Network for magic: Spot a school, then auto-deploy your Minn Kota i-Pilot Link or adjust Cannon downriggers via Bluetooth—all from one screen. Dual Ethernet ports eliminate hubs, supporting radar, cameras, and extra heads. HDMI in/out mirrors feeds or drives big-screen reviews at the dock, while Wi-Fi pushes updates straight from your phone.
Built-in GPS and enhanced basemap cover 10,000+ U.S. lakes and coasts, highlighting hazards, ramps, and contours. Upgrade to LakeMaster or Navionics for hyper-detailed overlays that shave hours off scouting trips.
Why settle for a one-size-fits-all unit? This CHO shines when mating with thru-hull transducers for sleek hulls, MEGA 360 for 360-degree sweeps, or sharing from networked buddies. Tournament pros add it as a secondary display for co-anglers, keeping everyone dialed in. Saltwater captains love its rugged build for rough seas, while freshwater enthusiasts leverage shallow-water anchors via wireless commands.
Out of the box: control head, power cable, and gimbal bracket—ready to mount and conquer. Backed by a rock-solid warranty, it's an investment that pays dividends in bigger catches and fewer skunks.
No, this is a control head only model, designed for flexibility. Pair it with your preferred transducer like those for MEGA Imaging or high-wattage CHIRP to match your boat's needs.
Dual sonar ports and a dedicated 2kW CHIRP channel support various Humminbird accessories, plus Ethernet sharing from other units for comprehensive coverage.
Yes, Bluetooth integrates with Talon/Raptor anchors and Cannon downriggers, while NMEA 2000 pulls in engine and weather data. One-Boat Network unlocks Minn Kota precision.
Start with the internal GPS basemap for U.S. waters, add AutoChart Live for custom maps, or load LakeMaster/Navionics for pro-level detail.
Absolutely—dual Ethernet ports connect multiple heads, trolling motors, and radar without extra hubs, creating a robust system.
Highly—sidebar menus and Cross Touch let you arrange split-screens, sonar combos, and overlays to suit your fishing style perfectly.
Ready to see what's really down there? This APEX control head isn't gear—it's your unfair advantage on the water.
