Humminbird APEX 16 CHO VX — Command-Centre Chartplotter & Fishfinder
The Humminbird APEX 16 CHO VX is the flagship multi-function display for serious anglers who demand the best in sonar clarity, chart integration, and boat network control. Powered by a dual-core processor and built around a stunning 16-inch full-HD 1920 x 1080 touchscreen, the APEX 16 delivers the processing speed and screen real estate to run complex sonar, charting, and networking tasks simultaneously — without lag, without compromise.
The CHO (Control Head Only) configuration gives you the flexibility to pair this display with your choice of compatible transducer, making it the right choice for custom installations or upgrades where you already have transducer hardware in place.
Key Features
- 16" Full-HD Display: 1920 x 1080 resolution touchscreen with Cross Touch® Interface — operate via touch or keypad, your choice
- MEGA Imaging+™: MEGA Side Imaging+™ and MEGA Down Imaging+™ for exceptional underwater detail at greater depths and ranges
- Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar: Dual-channel sonar support with a dedicated channel for AIRMAR® transducers up to 2kW
- Integrated GPS Chartplotting: Built-in Humminbird® Basemap with compatibility for CoastMaster™, LakeMaster®, and Navionics® premium charts
- One-Boat Network™: Seamless integration with Minn Kota® trolling motors and Cannon® downriggers for unified boat control
- Full Networking Suite: Dual Ethernet ports, HDMI In/Out, NMEA 2000®, built-in Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi
- Accessory Compatible: Works with Humminbird CHIRP Radar, AutoPilot, VHF radio, CZone® digital switching, and Fusion® audio
- Includes: Front-mount dash kit and gimbal mount
Best Use Cases
- Tournament and serious recreational anglers who need the highest-resolution sonar imaging available
- Custom helm builds where a CHO unit is preferred for transducer flexibility
- Boats already running Minn Kota trolling motors or Cannon downriggers who want full One-Boat Network™ integration
- Offshore and coastal applications requiring NMEA 2000® networking, radar compatibility, and premium chart support
- Helm upgrades where a large, high-resolution display is the priority
Parts Desk Insights
- The CHO (Control Head Only) configuration means no transducer is included — this is the right choice if you’re upgrading your display and keeping an existing compatible transducer, or specifying your own AIRMAR unit for a custom install.
- If you need a complete out-of-the-box sonar solution, look for the non-CHO APEX 16 bundle which includes a transducer.
- The dedicated 2kW AIRMAR transducer channel is a standout feature for offshore anglers who need deep-water sonar performance beyond what standard transducers can deliver.
- MEGA Imaging+ is Humminbird’s highest-resolution side and down imaging technology — a meaningful step up from standard MEGA Imaging, particularly in deeper or stained water.
- At this price point, confirm your helm has the cutout dimensions and power supply to support a 16" display before ordering — front-mount and gimbal hardware is included, but a clean install may require additional helm work.
