Lowrance Elite FS 12 Dual Display Sonar Starter Kit

The Lowrance Elite FS 12 Dual Display Sonar Starter Kit provides two 12.1-inch displays, each with 1280 x 800 resolution, plus an Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer. The system supports SideScan, DownScan, CHIRP, and ActiveTarget or ActiveTarget 2 live sonar modules, while Ethernet, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and wireless connectivity support a networked fishing helm. It is designed for larger boats that benefit from two screens.

Key Features

- Two 12.1-inch high-bright multi-touch displays – Allows charts, sonar, and system data to remain visible across separate screens.
- 1280 x 800 resolution per display – Provides useful detail on both large screens.
- Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer included – Provides SideScan, DownScan, and CHIRP sonar.
- ActiveTarget and ActiveTarget 2 compatibility – Allows expansion with compatible live-sonar modules.
- 100Mbps Ethernet, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and wireless connectivity – Supports a networked dual-display installation.

Who Is This For?

This kit suits professional tournament bass boats, freshwater walleye rigs, and 20- to 32-foot center consoles where two independent displays improve helm workflow. One screen can remain dedicated to charts while the other shows sonar or system data.

It is not ideal for a small console or a buyer who only needs one display. The combined 4.6A current draw and dual-screen mounting framework require more power, wiring, and dash space than a single MFD.

Compatibility

Confirmed components include the Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer, ActiveTarget and ActiveTarget 2 live-sonar module compatibility, 100Mbps Ethernet, NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and wireless connectivity. The supplied information does not identify radar, autopilot, or third-party transducer compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Lowrance network, power, and mounting requirements before installation.

Warranty & Support

The Elite FS 12 Dual Display Kit is the multi-screen alternative to the single Garmin and B&G displays, giving the helm dedicated chart and sonar views at the same time. Its included Active Imaging transducer and live-sonar readiness make it practical for serious fishing boats. The trade-off is installation complexity: two displays, network wiring, power demand, and a larger mounting structure are required.
