The Minn Kota A16 A Series 16" Fish Finder and Chartplotter combines a large 15.6" Full HD touchscreen, advanced Humminbird Imaging technology, and integrated boat control into one powerful fishing system. Designed for serious anglers, the A16 delivers detailed sonar imaging, advanced GPS navigation, and seamless integration with compatible Minn Kota trolling motors and shallow water anchors.
This Control Head Only (CHO) model does not include a transducer. It's ideal for anglers connecting to compatible Minn Kota trolling motors with built-in sonar, adding a separate transducer or live sonar system, or sharing sonar data from a networked Minn Kota or Humminbird fish finder.
