Lowrance HDS PRO 16 – w/ Preloaded C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard & Active Imaging HD Transducer

The Lowrance HDS PRO 16 bundle gives the helm a 16-inch SolarMAX HD Full HD display with a supplied Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer, C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard US and Canada charts, and support for ActiveTarget 2. CHIRP up to 1kW, SideScan, and DownScan provide a broad fishfinding platform, while NMEA 2000, dual Ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth support a connected installation.

Key Features

- 16-inch SolarMAX HD multi-touch display – Provides a large, bright workspace for charts, sonar, and split-screen information.
- 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution – Shows detailed mapping and sonar information across the large display.
- Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer included – Provides CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan from the supplied transducer.
- ActiveTarget 2 support and CHIRP up to 1kW – Allows expansion with compatible live sonar and high-power fishfinding equipment.
- C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard US and Canada charts – Provides preloaded regional chart coverage for supported areas.

Who Is This For?

This unit suits large fishing boats, offshore center consoles, tournament rigs, and multi-display helms that have room for a 16-inch screen. The included transducer and charts make it more complete for a new fishing installation than a display-only MFD.

It is not ideal for a small console or a buyer who wants a compact chartplotter. A 16-inch display requires careful dash planning, and the supplied specifications do not list radar support.

Compatibility

Confirmed components include the Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer, ActiveTarget 2 support, C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard US and Canada charts, NMEA 2000, two Ethernet ports, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The supplied information does not identify NMEA 0183, radar, autopilot, or third-party transducer compatibility. No named incompatible system was provided; verify Lowrance network and accessory requirements before installation.

The HDS PRO 16 bundle is the strongest ready-to-fish large-screen option in this group because it includes the Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer and C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard charts. Its Full HD screen, ActiveTarget 2 support, and broad networking suit a serious fishing helm. The trade-off is size and system focus: it occupies more space than the 12-inch Simrad units and the supplied specifications do not list radar.
