Humminbird APEX 13 MEGA SI+ MEGA DI+ Fish Finder Chartplotter CHO – Brand New Se
Humminbird APEX 13 is the flagship multi-function display (MFD) in the Humminbird lineup, designed for anglers who require maximum screen clarity, processing power, and integration.
Understanding “CHO”
The CHO suffix stands for “Control Head Only.” This means the package does not include a transducer. This model is specifically intended for users who:
-
Plan to connect to a Minn Kota trolling motor that already has “Built-in MEGA Imaging” sonar.
-
Intend to use a specialized transducer (such as an Airmar through-hull or a specific mounting style) not included in standard retail kits.
-
Are adding this unit as a secondary display to an existing Humminbird Ethernet network to share sonar data from another unit.
Key Features of the APEX 13
-
13.3-inch Full-HD Display: Offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution, providing professional-grade detail for sonar, mapping, and split-screen views.
-
Cross Touch® Interface: Allows you to control the unit entirely through the high-definition touchscreen or the physical keypad—a major advantage for operation in rough, choppy water.
