I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

The Lowrance Elite FS 9 Fish Finder (No Transducer) is a powerful tool for any angler. With its Active Imaging 3-in-1 technology, you can see structure and cover in incredible detail. The CHIRP, SideScan, and DownScan features, along with FishReveal, provide a whole new level of clarity and precision.
If you want to take your fishing experience to the next level, the Elite FS 9 is also ActiveTarget ready. This means that you can see high-resolution images of fish swimming around structures and responding to your lure in real-time.
One of the standout features of the Elite FS 9 is its full networking capability. You can build the complete Elite Fishing System by integrating wireless, NMEA 2000, and Ethernet connectivity. This allows you to add additional components such as the Halo Dome Radar and Outboard Pilot. It also enables you to share sonar, charting, waypoints, and other user data between displays.
The Elite FS 9 boasts a 9-inch high-resolution multi-touch screen. This makes it incredibly easy to use and install. Its intuitive interface ensures that you can quickly access all the features and settings you need.
When it comes to navigation, the Elite FS 9 has you covered. It comes equipped with C-MAP CONTOUR+ technology, which provides high-resolution 1-foot contours on 8,900 U.S. lakes. Whether you're looking for key fishing areas or navigating with precision, this feature will help you find success on the water.
Now let's address some frequently asked questions:
- Will this unit connect directly to the Motorguide Tour trolling motor? With NMEA 2000, you can control the trolling motor functions on the screen. For sonar-equipped trolling motors, you will need the appropriate adapter and cable length to connect to the unit.
- How do you hook Elite Ti to Elite FS? The only way to connect these two units is through NMEA 2000. The minimum information will be shared between them.
- I have two Elite Ti 9 units, and I want to switch one to Elite FS. If they are networked, what will the FS 9 unit share with the Ti 9 unit? The units can be networked via NMEA 2000, allowing them to share N2k devices and waypoints. Additionally, two Elite FS units can connect via Ethernet for map card, sonar, and structure sharing.
- Will this work with the MotorGuide Xi5 with the built-in transducer? Unfortunately, it will not work.
