Humminbird®’s New Side Imaging Sonar Takes Consumer Fishfinders to a Brand New Level

Leading the way in innovation, Humminbird® has introduced the revolutionary, technologically advanced new ‘900 Series’ to their range of fishing systems. These state of the art fishing systems utilise Side Imaging Sonar, a technology which has, before now, not been available to consumers. The 981CX SI and the 987CX SI Combo from the 900 Series both utilise this amazing technology, derived from military and commercial products to map the bottom and structure with “photograph like” detail.

The Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar transducer installs on the transom, trolling motor or through the hull of the boat. Sonar beams look to each side of the boat reaching out 73 meters in each direction, for 146 metres of bottom coverage in up to 25 metres of depth. Traditional dual frequency down-looking capabilities are built into this same transducer offering depth capability up to 762 metres

Until now, this technology has only been available at very high costs for use in commercial, research and salvage applications. The Humminbird engineering team has adapted the technology for consumer angler and recreational boater use and coupled it with all their most popular and high-performance features. The 981CX SI and 987CX SI Combo provides saltwater and freshwater anglers with the ultimate tool for gaining more knowledge about bottom and structure.

Humminbird have combined this ground breaking Side Imaging Sonar technology with all the established Humminbird high performance dual frequency fishfinder capabilities, with a colour wide screen format ideally suited for viewing sonar from several sources in split screen mode.

The fishing applications for the new 900 Series are almost limitless. In saltwater, side imaging picks up precise detail on popular fishing structure like wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs as well as spotting fish and baitballs in open water. For the freshwater angler, side imaging reveals fish attracting structure such as timber, stumps, rocks and creek beds.

These fully featured and user friendly models are both part of Humminbird’s fishing system product line, which means they are expandable and upgradeable to accommodate the most current technologies including WeatherSense™ barometric pressure monitor, Navionics Gold Cartography, GPS input, chartplotting and PC upgradeable via www.humminbird.com.au.
