Humminbird

From flashers to LCDs, analog to digital and DualBeam sonar to MEGA Imaging+™, the past five decades have seen tremendous change at Humminbird.

Starting with best-in-class sonar and depth finders, our innovations have grown to include marine GPS, LakeMaster® mapping, radar and full boat control integration.​

As our technology advances and the connected world brings new challenges and opportunities, our goal remains the same as it was on day one. From our home base in Eufaula, AL, we are here to help anglers make the most of every minute on the water.

What Humminbird products work with ChartSelect?

For a complete listing of fish finders that are compatible with ChartSelect, view our Cartography Compatibility Chart (PDF).

Minn Kota motor compatibility?

To find out whether your Minn Kota Motor is compatible with your Humminbird Fish Finder, check out Minn Kota's site for compatibility of i-Pilot Link and for Universal Sonar (US2) or Built-In MEGA Imaging.  

Humminbird Down Imaging and Side Imaging products will not have advanced sonar features if used with a US2 motor, it will only provide traditional 2D sonar, not CHIRP 2D sonar, Side Imaging nor Down Imaging.     

Traducer compatibility?

We offer two tools to assist with transducer/sonar compatibility.

Our Transducer Compatibility Tool will allow you to select a Humminbird unit and a Humminbird transducer to discover their degree of compatibility. 

If you do not have a transducer part number this tool may not help you at this time.  If you do have a transducer part number and want to know what sonar frequencies your unit can use from this transducer, it will be helpful.  

Currently this tool covers our Legacy (300, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1100), Piranha, PiranhaMAX, ICE Flashers, HELIX, SOLIX and APEX models and current line transducers.  

Please click the below button to begin.  

Transducer Compatibility Tool

 

Our Compatible Transducer Listing will allow you to select a Humminbird unit and see a list of all transducers that are compatible with that Humminbird model.

This tool supports Humminbird units in the following series: 300, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1100, Piranha, PiranhaMAX, ICE Flashers, HELIX, ONIX, SOLIX and APEX.

The transducers listed will begin with a "Recommended" section. These are the suggested transducers to use with the Humminbird selected and in almost all cases provide the maximum performance of the Humminbird.

The other transducers listed will be compatible with the selected Humminbird, but may not provide the full capabilities of the selected Humminbird. Transducer performance will be limited to what the transducer is capable of providing.

You can also check out our sonar capability chart for current and legacy models by clicking on the PDF before.  This chart will show you the sonar types the model utilizes out of the box.  If a sonar type is listed as optional it requires an additional purchase.

CZONE digital switching?

APEX and SOLIX products are compatible with CZone Contact 6 and Contact 6 Plusthrough the NMEA2000 module.  

Any SOLIX with software version 3.50 or higher and all APEX must be directly connected into the NMEA2000 network in order to show CZone is connected. CZone will not share between units on the network.  

If the CZone controls are white then the unit is directly connected to the NMEA2000 network.

If the CZone controls are grayed out then the unit has seen the CZone before and lost connection to it or you are trying to share it across the network.  But it does not share.  

If CZone is directly connected into the NMEA2000 network and you still do not have a connection make sure the NMEA2000 backbone is properly powered
