Minn Kota A19 MSI+ VX 19-inch GPS/Fishfinder with Transom Mount Transducer [412480-1VX]

Product Introduction

The Minn Kota A19 MSI+ VX is a large-format GPS/fishfinder built to be the brain of your boat. A full-HD 1920 x 1080 touchscreen shows Dual Spectrum CHIRP, MEGA Side Imaging+ and MEGA Down Imaging+ in sharp detail, and the included XM-14-HW-MSI-T transom mount transducer gets you scanning from day one. Connect it to compatible Minn Kota trolling motors, Talon shallow water anchors and the Minn Kota Fishing App, and one screen runs your whole fishing system.

Why This Product?

You get a big screen, powerful sonar, built-in GPS and boat-wide integration in a single package, with the transom mount transducer already in the box. Draw a course on the screen with your finger, control your gear wirelessly from the app, and add Live Sonar, radar or more displays later through the Ethernet and HDMI ports. Fishing from the sharpest view you can get, with room to grow, is what this display is built for.

What Can I Use This Product For?

• Finding fish and structure fast: read Side Imaging and Down Imaging views out to the sides and below the boat, with Dual Spectrum CHIRP for 2D sonar.
• Navigating to your spot: use Draw and Navigate to draw a course with your finger and let a compatible Minn Kota trolling motor take you there.
• Controlling your whole system: operate your Minn Kota trolling motor, sonar and shallow water anchors from one display and the Minn Kota Fishing App.
• Mapping your water: record depth contours, bottom hardness and vegetation in real time with AutoChart Live.
• Protecting your equipment: use Intelligent Depth Control to get an alert on depth changes and, if needed, automatically engage Spot-Lock and deploy your shallow water anchors.
• Building a bigger system: add Live Sonar (sold separately), radar, extra displays or an NMEA 2000 network.
