Meet the Lowrance HDS16 Pro Active Imaging — the flagship system built for anglers who demand precision, speed, and a game-changing view beneath the surface. Centered on a 16" SolarMAX HD IPS touchscreen, this powerhouse delivers stunning clarity from every angle, even in direct sunlight or through polarized lenses. When you need to see the details that matter, the HDS16 Pro brings them to life with unmatched reliability.

Crystal-clear imaging that helps you locate and verify bites

• Active Imaging HD 1.2 MHz — a high-definition trio of CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan Imaging for incredibly sharp returns of fish, structure, and cover. See the difference between a school and a snag, and read bottom contours with confidence.
• Dual 1kW CHIRP sonar delivers deep, bright targets with minimal noise, giving you stronger bottom detail and more stable returns in challenging conditions.
• ActiveTarget 2 Live Sonar — real-time, high-resolution fish tracking that lets you watch lure placement, bait movement, and predator behavior as it happens. Supports two ActiveTarget systems for multiple views simultaneously (some features require the S3100 sonar module).
• FishReveal integration — combines CHIRP sonar with SideScan or DownScan views to highlight fish targets directly on the display, so you can identify school locations and feeding activity at a glance.
• Two-view capability enables concurrent perspectives: forward-looking activity, structure on the sides, and down to the seabed — all at once for a complete picture.

Next-level navigation and mapping for everywhere you fish

• Preloaded C-MAP Discover OnBoard charts with 1-foot contour detail across 19,000+ US lakes and 9,400+ Canadian lakes, plus worldwide basemap options. In APAC regions, enjoy preloaded NZ and Australia charts for instant local context.
• Genesis Live real-time mapping opens a live map of your surroundings as you move, letting you create custom contours and mapping in 100% real time.
• Chart upgrade path with options for C-MAP Discover, REVEAL, or other charting suppliers, so you’re not locked in and can tailor maps to your preferred regions.

Seamless connectivity and smart controls

• Networkable design lets you share sonar, radar, waypoint data, and charts across Lowrance performance sonars and compatible devices. Expand with linked systems like radars, trolling motors, and autopilots for a complete, integrated cockpit.
• Comprehensive control with large programmable keys and touchscreen control for Power-Pole anchors, Ghost trolling motors, Autopilots, and Outboard Pilot — all at your fingertips on the Helmsman-friendly interface.
• Connectivity suite includes NMEA 2000, Wireless, and Bluetooth, plus smartphone notifications so you stay in the loop even when you’re off the console.

Designed for real-world fishing, from backwater days to offshore pursuits

• Ideal for anglers who chase structure and big bites — the combination of High-Definition Active Imaging and Live Target views helps you pinpoint groves, ledges, and brush piles as they exist in real time.
• Perfect for guides and serious enthusiasts who rely on precise mapping, dependable target separation, and multi-view sonar to showcase fish behavior and lure performance.
• Region-ready for global anglers with APAC-specific charts (NZ/Australia) and continental options, plus upgradeable basemaps for added flexibility on trips abroad.

What sets this transducer setup apart

• Active Imaging HD 3-in-1 transducer delivers a unified, ultra-clear view of fish, structure, and bottom composition, all through a single transducer package.
• ActiveTarget 2 Live Sonar readiness and the ability to run two target systems simultaneously opens new possibilities for bait tracking, schooling behavior, and fishing tactics.
• Scalable, future-proof platform with easy upgrades to Genesis Live mapping and enhanced charting options ensures your system stays current with evolving technologies.
• Region-aware mapping with preloaded charts means you can get on the water faster, whether you’re fishing the US Great Lakes, Canadian waters, or Australia and New Zealand coasts.

Real-world tips to maximize performance

Combine Active Imaging with FishReveal to quickly differentiate fish from structure. Use multiple views to track bait and fish movement as you hover over likely feeding zones. When trolling or drifting, leverage Power-Pole and Ghost motor integration for precise positioning while you monitor your routes and waypoints on the big, glare-free SolarMAX display. If you plan to run two ActiveTarget systems, ensure compatibility with the S3100 module to unlock full two-view, plug-and-play capabilities.

Whether you’re a seasoned captain, a tournament competitor, or a weekend angler chasing bigger bites, the Lowrance HDS16 Pro with Active Imaging is engineered to turn information into action. From the moment you turn it on, you’ll see why this system is trusted by professionals who demand clarity, reliability, and real-time insight on every outing.
