X16 CHO VX 16" GPS/Fishfinder without Transducer

Get on the fish faster with the Minn Kota™ X Series fish finder. Powered by Humminbird Imaging™ and included Minn Kota® Maps, X Series delivers a clearer, more complete picture of fish and structure so you can fish with confidence. Seamlessly connect X Series to the rest of your Minn Kota system to take total command of your sonar, trolling motor, maps, and shallow water anchors. New smart features like Draw and Navigate™ let you draw a course on-screen, and your trolling motor will automatically take you where you want to go. Intelligent Depth Control™ keeps you in productive water and protects your equipment by alerting you to shallow water and, if necessary, automatically deploying Spot-Lock® and your shallow water anchors. A high-resolution touchscreen featuring best-in-class clarity and brightness stays easy to read in rain, high sun, and even while wearing polarized lenses. Spend less time searching and more time doing what you came to do—catching fish.

One Seamless Fishing System

Minn Kota® trolling motors, fish finders, maps, sonar, and shallow water anchors all work together for one purpose—fishing. The Minn Kota system seamlessly integrates what your fish finder sees with what your trolling motor does, turning sonar and mapping data into automated and precise boat positioning so you can stay focused on fishing.

Draw and Navigate™

Getting to your favorite spot is easier than ever. Just draw a course with your finger and the motor automatically takes you where you want to go.

Intelligent Depth Control™

Avoid shallow water and protect your equipment—this feature detects depth changes, alerts you immediately, and if necessary, automatically engages Spot-Lock® and deploys your shallow water anchors.

Simplify the setup and use of your integrated system without complex rigging or cables—keeping everything connected, cleaner, and more organized.
