Humminbird APEX 13 MSI+ Chartplotter 13.3-inch Full HD Fish Finder

Manufacturer SKU: 411470-1. The Humminbird APEX 13 MSI+ is a premium multifunction fish finder and navigation display designed for anglers requiring exceptional screen detail and comprehensive networking. This specific manufacturer part number identifies the original APEX 13 MSI+ model and must not be confused with the later APEX VX or CHO (control-head-only) packages.

Display and controls

The 13.3-inch Full-HD color touchscreen offers a 1920 1080 pixel matrix for detailed sonar, chart and instrument views. Humminbird’s Cross Touch interface combines touchscreen interaction with physical keypad control, providing flexibility for different weather and operating conditions.

MEGA Imaging+ and CHIRP sonar

• MEGA Side Imaging+: high-definition views of fish-holding structure on both sides of the boat, supporting more informed searching and casting decisions.
• MEGA Down Imaging+: detailed imaging directly beneath the vessel, useful for recognizing underwater cover and bottom transitions.
• Dual Spectrum CHIRP: conventional fish-finding sonar for identifying fish targets and reading depth and bottom structure.
• Independent accessory CHIRP channel: the APEX platform supports suitably configured additional 2D CHIRP transducers up to 2 kW; additional equipment is not included automatically.

Marine networking

APEX supports Ethernet networking, built-in NMEA 2000, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HDMI input/output. Network integration enables connectivity with compatible Humminbird sonar accessories, supported Minn Kota trolling motors and shallow-water anchors, and selected One-Boat Network devices. Advanced accessory functions depend on installed components and compatible software.

Navigation and mapping

An internal GPS receiver provides chartplotting and waypoint management, with support for compatible Humminbird and third-party cartography. Included maps and supported regional coverage must be verified for exact SKU 411470-1; new US APEX VX packages advertise LakeMaster and CoastMaster VX map cards, but those should not be assumed to be included with this earlier model or suitable for Baltic navigation.

Technical specifications

Transducer and package verification

Manufacturer documentation confirms SKU 411470-1 as the APEX 13 MSI+ Chartplotter model; the Humminbird transducer exchange reference associates it with the XTM 14 HW MSI T. The exact supplied transducer, bracket, cabling, card contents and other small accessories should be confirmed against the distributor’s original packing list before being guaranteed to a customer. This listing must not be described as CHO or as the newer VX map bundle without evidence.

Integration and installation

Plan network ports, display location, compatible sonar connections and electrical supply before installation. Mounting, transducer placement and accessory configuration should follow Humminbird’s current documentation. Sonar performance, compatibility and network behavior can depend on software version and connected transducer or module.

Common questions

Is this the newer APEX VX version? No. The stated manufacturer part number is 411470-1; newer VX packages have different identifiers.

Can it display MEGA Live sonar? The APEX family is compatible with selected MEGA Live equipment, but required equipment is optional and not included merely because the feature is supported.

Are European charts included? No European chart content has been independently confirmed for this SKU. Select compatible mapping suitable for your waters.
