Humminbird's APEX 19 VX MSI+ is a chartplotter and fishfinder with an 18.5 inch Full-HD touchscreen running 1920 x 1080 pixels. It comes with a transom mount transducer, plus the control head, mounting hardware, power cable and a gimbal bracket. On the sonar side it carries Dual Spectrum CHIRP and imaging views that reach 250 feet below and to either side of the boat. NMEA 2000 networking is built in, along with dual Ethernet ports for adding other gear without a hub.

Our take

Dual Ethernet ports let you link another control head or Ethernet accessory without a network hub, and NMEA 2000 is built in. That gives the network room to grow without extra boxes between the units.

From our buying guide

What's in the box depends on the part number: Raymarine sells one screen display only, with charts, with a transducer, or with both. Not every chart card fits every plotter, either.

Check before you buy:

  • The part number includes the charts and transducer you expect.
  • It reads the charts you want, and you know how long their updates last, since many come with a one-year subscription.
  • A touchscreen suits your helm, since Raymarine warns that prolonged rain or water wash can cause false touches.
