Lowrance HDS PRO 9 Fishfinder/Chartplotter with Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 Transducer

Lowrance HDS PRO 9 Fishfinder/Chartplotter with Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 Transducer

The Lowrance HDS PRO 9 (000-15981-001) puts Lowrance's flagship display and their sharpest-ever transducer in one box. The 9-inch SolarMAX HD touchscreen delivers 1280x720 resolution at over 1,200 nits — readable at extreme angles, in direct sunlight, and through polarized lenses. The included Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer pushes CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan Imaging up to 1.2 MHz for the highest-definition structure imaging Lowrance has produced.

FishReveal on DownScan overlays CHIRP fish arches directly onto structure images so you can identify targets instantly. Add an S3100 module (sold separately) for FishReveal on SideScan. HDS PRO natively supports ActiveTarget 2 live sonar with plug-and-play installation — run two ActiveTarget systems simultaneously for multiple forward, down, or scout views. ActiveTarget Scout and Ghost 360 chart overlays display live sonar directly on the chart screen.

Preloaded C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard charts cover 19,000+ US lakes and 9,400+ Canadian lakes with 1-foot contours. Genesis Live creates real-time custom maps as you fish. Connectivity includes 2x 100 Mbit Ethernet ports (up to 6 MFDs), NMEA 2000, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0. Control your Ghost trolling motor, Power-Pole anchors, and Autopilot directly from the touchscreen. Two microSD slots support up to 32 GB each.

FAQ

What's the difference between Active Imaging HD and standard Active Imaging 3-in-1?

Active Imaging HD operates at up to 1.2 MHz, delivering noticeably sharper structure detail on both SideScan and DownScan. Standard Active Imaging 3-in-1 works at lower frequencies. Both provide CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan in one transducer.

Should I buy the HDS PRO 9 with transducer or without?

Buy this combo (000-15981-001) if you need a transducer. Buy the display-only model (000-15996-001, $1,799) if you already own a compatible Active Imaging transducer or plan to use only ActiveTarget 2 live sonar.

How many ActiveTarget 2 systems can HDS PRO run?

Two simultaneously — a feature exclusive to HDS PRO. Elite FS supports one ActiveTarget system.

What's the difference between the HDS PRO 9 and HDS PRO 10?

The HDS PRO 10 has a slightly larger 10-inch screen at the same 1280x720 resolution, plus 2 programmable keys (the 9 has none). Sonar capability, connectivity, and features are identical.
