Minn Kota X10 CMSI Sonar & GPS Chartplotter (incl. Transducer) – The 10.1-Inch HD Complete Package with Humminbird MEGA Imaging+

The Minn Kota X10 CMSI is the turnkey flagship complete package for demanding boat anglers who want to make no compromises on screen area, detail, and state-of-the-art boat electronics. As the direct successor to the successful Humminbird XPLORE 10 CMSI, this 10.1-inch HD sonar including an all-in-one transom transducer combines Minn Kota's pioneering boat control with the industry-leading sonar technology of Humminbird Imaging in a perfectly coordinated overall system.

With its high-resolution 10.1-inch widescreen display (1280 × 800 pixels), the X10 CMSI offers noticeably more space than smaller devices and is made for demanding split-screen setups. Whether you are scanning wide areas with MEGA Side Imaging+ while trolling or searching, studying edge structures in Down Imaging, or actively vertical jigging with a thumper and tracking every fish contact on the high-resolution CHIRP sonar: The Minn Kota X10 CMSI delivers outstanding clarity and maximum control on any body of water.

The perfect balance of screen size and ergonomic operation

The 10-inch class is considered the gold standard for helm stations and solid consoles among experienced boat anglers. In the slim, durable housing with massive aluminum cooling fins, the same extremely fast quad-core processor as in the largest models in the series is at work. Even when running high-resolution MEGA Side Imaging+, AutoChart Live depth mapping, and a connected live sonar (Minn Kota LIVE or Humminbird MEGA Live 1 & 2) simultaneously, the system operates completely without delay.

Despite this computing power, the power consumption of 2.4 amperes remains remarkably economical for a 10-inch HD display. For those switching from previous Humminbird systems, the upgrade is as simple as possible, as the proven PC-13 power cable as well as all connector ports have been retained exactly as they were.

Includes a powerful all-in-one transom transducer for maximum detail resolution

The Minn Kota X10 CMSI package includes the full-featured combination transom transducer XM 14 HW CMSI T, including a solid metal transom mount and 6 meters of cable. This transducer makes full use of the integrated latest-generation Humminbird sonar technology and guarantees fascinating underwater images.

In the MEGA frequency range above 1 MHz as well as on the long-range 455 kHz frequency, the MEGA Side Imaging+ delivers continuous side coverage of up to 122 meters on each side (a total scan width of 244 meters). At the same time, the MEGA Down Imaging+ looks down to depths of 61 meters and photorealistically depicts submerged obstacles, weed beds, rock piles, and predators holding tight to the bottom. The integrated Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar provides outstanding target separation in open water and directly on the bottom with freely selectable beam widths (Wide and Narrow).

Brilliant 10.1-inch HD display with all-weather CrossTouch control

The glare-free 24-bit color display impresses with high brightness and high-contrast color reproduction, making all sonar data perfectly visible from any viewing angle, even in bright backlight and with polarized sunglasses. Thanks to the proven CrossTouch operating concept, the device adapts flexibly to weather conditions. In calm weather, you can smoothly operate waypoints, menus, and zoom levels via the multi-touch screen. As soon as spray, driving rain, cold, or wet hands make operation difficult, you can switch without losing time to the grippy buttons and rotary knob. Three customizable One-Boat Network quick-access buttons also allow you to directly access your most important views and navigation functions.

Fully integrated wireless One-Boat Network and smart autopilots

The Minn Kota X10 CMSI turns your fishing boat into a perfectly networked control center without the hassle of cables running across the boat. Via the integrated Wireless One-Boat Network, the sonar connects completely wirelessly to current Minn Kota bow motors with dual-band GPS as well as to all Advanced GPS motors from model year 2024 via a software update.

With the Draw and Navigate™ function, you can draw your preferred route or the exact course of a drop-off directly on the chart display with your finger, after which your paired Minn Kota bow motor will immediately follow this line fully automatically.

The Intelligent Depth Control™ safety function continuously monitors the water depth. If the water depth falls below your predefined safety value, the system warns you immediately and can automatically anchor the motor in place via Spot-Lock® or lower compatible shallow-water anchors such as Raptor and Talon before the boat hull hits bottom.

Smart waypoint handling, AutoChart Live, and state-of-the-art media functions

Managing your hotspots becomes child's play on the 10.1-inch screen. You can circle multiple waypoints with a simple finger gesture, manage them together, or wirelessly synchronize them with your smartphone via the Minn Kota Fishing App. With the pre-installed AutoChart® Live, you can map your own depth charts in real time while driving, including detailed representations of bottom hardness and vegetation. The device offers 8 hours of internal storage for this purpose, which can be expanded indefinitely with an optional Zero-Line SD card.

An indispensable feature for modern anglers is the integrated Media Tool with rewind recording. If a big fish suddenly appears on the screen, you can save the sequence up to 30 seconds retroactively as a video file with the press of a button. Alternatively, you can create pre-recordings up to two minutes long to precisely capture bites and fight phases and share them directly with your friends via the smartphone app.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the Minn Kota X10 CMSI (with transducer)

Why is the Minn Kota X10 CMSI particularly popular with trophy anglers?

The 10.1-inch format offers the perfect balance of a generous screen area for split screens and a compact housing size for consoles and boats. Unlike smaller displays, you can easily have Side Imaging, Down Imaging, and a chart open at the same time without important structures or fish schools being displayed too small.

Can I connect a live sonar to the X10 CMSI in addition to the included transom transducer?

Yes, this is possible without additional equipment. While the transom transducer is plugged into the sonar connection, you connect your Minn Kota LIVE sonar or Humminbird MEGA Live 1 & 2 directly to the free Ethernet port on the back. The sonar processes both signals internally at the same time via the quad-core processor.

Which bow motors can be controlled by the X10 CMSI without a network cable?

All new Minn Kota bow motors with dual-band GPS (such as Terrova 2, PowerDrive 2, Ulterra 2, Ultrex 2, and QUEST 2 models) connect completely wirelessly to the X10 CMSI out of the box. Motors with Advanced GPS from model year 2024 can be enabled for this wireless connection via a free software update.

What battery capacity is recommended for the Minn Kota X10 CMSI?

With a power consumption of 2.4 amperes, a 12V LiFePO4 lithium battery with at least 30 Ah to 40 Ah is recommended for a typical 8- to 10-hour fishing day. If a live transducer or other accessories are also powered from the same battery, a capacity of 50 Ah or more is advisable.
