Lowrance Elite FS 9 Fishfinder Chartplotter w/ Active Imaging 3-in-1 Transducer

Lowrance Elite FS 9 is the compact powerhouse of the Elite Fishing System (FS) series. It offers the same core networking and sonar technology as the larger Elite FS 12, condensed into a 9-inch, high-resolution interface.

Core Features & Sonar

• Active Imaging™ 3-in-1 Transducer: Included in this package, this transducer provides Lowrance CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan Imaging™ in one unit. It allows you to quickly scan and identify fish-holding structures like rockpiles, standing timber, and drop-offs.

   

• FishReveal™: A signature Lowrance feature that overlays CHIRP sonar targets onto your DownScan Imaging view. This eliminates the need for a split-screen view to confirm if a mark is a fish or just structure.

• Live Sonar Ready: Like the larger models in the series, the Elite FS 9 is fully compatible with ActiveTarget® and ActiveTarget® 2 live sonar systems, allowing you to see fish reacting to your lure in real-time.

Display & Control

• 9-inch Multi-Touch Display: Features a high-resolution, anti-reflective, flat-glass screen that provides excellent visibility in bright, sunny conditions.

  Hybrid Interface: Offers both a responsive multi-touch touchscreen and a customizable keypad with programmable keys, ensuring you have reliable control even in choppy water or while wearing gloves.

Networking & Integration

Despite its smaller footprint, the Elite FS 9 is a fully capable network hub:

• Ethernet & NMEA 2000®: Easily connect to other displays, radar (Halo series), trolling motors (Lowrance Ghost), and shallow water anchors (Power-Pole) to create a unified boat command center.

• Mapping: Supports a wide range of chart options, including C-MAP® DISCOVER, Navionics®, and custom Genesis Live mapping for real-time contour creation.

Technical Summary

The Elite FS 9 is an excellent choice if you are constrained by space on your console but still want professional-level fishing tools and full network connectivity.
