The Humminbird XP-14-HW Dual Spectrum CHIRP In-Hull Transducer is an advanced accessory for serious anglers or anyone looking to improve their fishfinding capabilities on the water. Engineered for compatibility with the high-end SOLIX series of fishfinders, the XP-14-HW is an in-hull transducer, meaning it's designed to be mounted inside the hull of the boat rather than on the transom or through a scupper hole. This design helps provide a cleaner look and can protect the transducer from external damage.
This particular model excels in delivering high-resolution sonar images due to its Dual Spectrum CHIRP technology. CHIRP, which stands for Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse, transmits across a range of frequencies, allowing for clearer fish arcs and improved target separation.
- Supports Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D Sonar, offering a balance between high-resolution and coverage area.
- CHIRP range of 150-220kHz, tailored for the best combination of CHIRP sonar performance.
- Maximum depth capability up to 1200ft, suitable for deep-water fishing.
- Designed specifically for single layer fiberglass hulls to ensure optimal sonar transmission.
- Included epoxy kit and a 20′ cable simplify the installation process.
- Compatible with Humminbird SOLIX 10, SOLIX 12, SOLIX 15 – All G2 Models.
- Not suitable for Side Imaging or Down Imaging due to being a sonar-only design.
- Environmentally critical information regarding the presence of LEAD, a potential health hazard.
Whether you're fishing shallow waters or exploring the deep, the varied frequency settings can accommodate different fishing scenarios:
- Full Mode: 150-220 kHz for an all-around performance.
- Narrow Mode: 180-240 kHz for focused beam energy on a specific area.
- Wide Mode: 140-200 kHz for a larger area, ideal for tracking schools of fish.
It is crucial, especially for Californian consumers or any environmentally conscious individual, to be mindful of the product's chemical contents. These details are made readily available as part of compliance with California's Proposition 65 regulations.
