This kit combines Simrad’s GO9 XSE Chartplotter/Fishfinder with Navico’s 9-Pin High-Speed Skimmer Transducer. (00016293001)

Unlock smarter navigation and fishing performance with this high-value kit featuring the Simrad GO9 XSE display paired with Navico’s high-speed 9-pin Skimmer HDI transducer and C-MAP Discover charting.

Key features & capabilities:

• Super-bright 9″ tablet-style multi-touch widescreen display with intuitive pinch-zoom, drag-to-pan, home-screen shortcuts and customizable split-screen layouts.
• Built-in advanced echosounder: support for CHIRP, DownScan, SideScan and ForwardScan imaging (transducer required/included) — ideal for detecting fish, tracking structure and monitoring bottom composition.
• Radar-ready: a dedicated radar port enables plug-and-play connectivity with Simrad Broadband 3G/4G or Halo radar scanners for safe navigation in crowded or low-visibility waters.
• Fully integrated networking: support for NMEA 2000®, engine/instrument data, autopilot, audio system control (e.g., Simrad SonicHub 2/Bluetooth), vessel circuit control (with C-Zone digital switching) — making this unit a central hub for your boat’s electronics.
• Built-in WiFi & 10 Hz GPS: download charts & software updates over the internet, mirror the display to your smartphone or tablet, and enjoy smooth, real-time position updates (10 times per second) — critical for high-speed powerboats and RIBs.
• Chart compatibility: easily navigate with your choice of top cartography providers (C-MAP MAX-N+, Navionics, Insight, NV Digital) and benefit from included C-MAP Discover vector charts with custom depth shading, high-resolution bathymetry, tides & currents.
• Durable, marine-ready design: IPX6/7 water ingress protection, operating range from -15 °C to +55 °C (5 °F to 131 °F), reverse polarity and temporary over-voltage protection to 36 V.
• Package includes: GO9 XSE display, gimbal bracket, bezel replacement, dash-mount kit, power cable, suncover, 9-pin high-speed Skimmer M/H PK ASY transom HDI transducer (83/200 kHz with temperature) and pre-loaded C-MAP Discover chart card.
• The transducer’s 83/200 kHz frequency and 9-pin connector provide reliable medium/high CHIRP sonar support and temperature sensing, mounted on the transom for easier installation compared to thru-hull.
• Ideal for sport-boats, center-consoles, fishermen seeking both navigation and fish-finding capability: manage routes and waypoints with ease, overlay fuel-range and tide data with TripIntel™, and visually monitor structure and fish beneath and around your vessel.

Why this kit stands out:

• Comprehensive bundle: You’re getting not just the display, but also a capable HDI transducer and premium charting – ready for both fishing and cruising.
• Powerful yet intuitive: While some units in this class are complex, the GO9 XSE combines advanced sonar/charting with familiar tablet-style controls, making it approachable for users upgrading from simpler systems.
• Expandable ecosystem: Whether you plan to add radar, autopilot, audio or full vessel monitoring, this unit integrates seamlessly into your networked marine electronics.
• Proven in the field: Reviews highlight its excellent networking, radar integration and reliable sonar imaging.
• Charting advantage: The inclusion of C-MAP Discover charts means you receive robust coverage in U.S./Canada, with detailed bathymetry and easy-routing that gives you trusted navigation confidence.
• High-visibility screen: With 1200 nits of brightness, the display remains readable in harsh sunlight and outdoor helm environments.

Usage tips & considerations:

• Since it uses a touch-screen interface (no physical dial) some users suggest bracing properly in rough seas to avoid unintended taps.
• For optimal performance, ensure the HDI transducer is mounted in clean water flow on the hull/transom; avoid air bubbles or turbulence which can degrade sonar returns.
• While the included C-MAP Discover chart is excellent, if you fish in extreme detail or remote areas you may consider upgrading to Navionics Platinum+ or Insight Genesis for even finer depth contours.
• Because this is a full-featured multifunction display and networking hub, allow a little time for setup and integration of sensors, network devices and charting preferences – but once configured, it will serve as a powerful on-water command centre.

Equip your boat with this all-in-one navigation and fish-finding system and elevate your time on the water — whether you’re exploring new waters, seeking structure & fish, or simply cruising confidently.
