Lowrance Elite FS 9 Fish Finder

The Lowrance Elite Fishing System (FS) offers the very latest fish finding technology with an easy to use large 9in touch screen interface. This large sized screen is great for displaying data from your sonar, side-scan and chartplotter all on the one screen, so you can see everything you need to know at once. The Active Imaging 3-in-1 transducer provides detailed CHIRP sonar readings for clear fish fishing, with Downscan Imaging for crisp bottom structure imaging, plus Side Scanning Sonar to reveal either sid eof your craft too! The Elite FS features FishReveal technology which combines both sonar and downscan readings onto one easy to visualise reading so you can pinpoint both fish and fish-holding structure with ease on one display! Overall, you get a great view of the bottom shape, structure and a view of any fish both beneath and beside you, so that you can fish more effectively.


A full GPS chartplotter is interated within the unit allowing you to mark your fishing spots, plot tracks and create routes. The unit is supplied with a basic worldwide basemap (coastline data) but the unit has a micro SD card slot allowing you to add high detail seabed charts, such as the Navionics Platinum Plus Charts, which provide Sonar Charts and the incredible Relief Shading maps. The Elite FS is also equipped with Genesis Live onscreen mapping software, allowing you to build up your own charts from your sonar readings. All this information is at your finger tips with the easy-to-use touch screen display. Customisable screen layouts allow you to have exactly the info you need on display.


Built-in Wireless allows connectivity with your phone and other compatible devices. Full NMEA and Ethernet connectivity allows integration with an array of electronics.


Supplied with tilt-adjustable mounting bracket and removable sun cover for screen protection when not in use. A high-spec fish finder for kayak & boat fish finder with technology to give you the best view of the world beneath your craft. Find more fish with the Elite FS!


Lowrance 3-in-1 Active Imaging Transducer

Providing Medium and High CHIRP Sonar (83/200kHz + 455/800kHz), Downscan Imaging and Side Scanning Sonar all in one transducer! Side Scan allows you to see either side of your craft, perfect for spotting those bait shoals or fish holding structures around you. Side Scan works best in shallower lakes, estuaries and coastal areas, with diminishing effectiveness as the depth increases. Please Note: Side Scan Transducers must be mounted in contact with the water and below the keel line of your craft so that the sonar can can shoot either side of the hull.

Downscan Imaging

Downscan Imaging uses high frequency pulses of sonar to show high resolution detail of the sea/lake bed and other structures. Great for feature finding!

Side Scan Imaging using a Lowrance Transducer

Side Scan Imaging

Side Scan makes it easier to locate fish holding structure either side of your craft so that you can find those fish even faster! Scan Scan can work up to 600ft either side of your vessel.
