Humminbird XPLORE 9 Control Head Only + MEGA Live 2 (Bundle)
Overview
Who This Is For: Serious anglers who want to add Humminbird MEGA Live 2 forward-facing live sonar to their boat without duplicating hardware they already own. This bundle pairs the Xplore 9 control head with the MEGA Live 2 transducer — giving you the display and the live sonar in one purchase, without the standard transom transducer included in the full CMSI+ bundle. Ideal if you're running a Minn Kota with built-in MEGA Imaging, building a networked multi-display setup, or adding a dedicated live sonar display to an existing system.
Product Summary: This is a two-piece bundle — the Xplore 9 nine-inch full-HD touchscreen chartplotter and fish finder control head, paired with the MEGA Live 2 Forward-Facing Live Sonar Transducer. No standard transom transducer is included. The MEGA Live 2 mounts to your trolling motor shaft and delivers real-time sonar in forward, down, and landscape modes. Pair it with a Minn Kota with built-in MEGA Imaging or tap into an existing Humminbird sonar network via Ethernet, and you have a complete, high-performance electronics system without paying for hardware you don't need.
