Lowrance HDS Pro FAQ 

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Pro and older HDS models?

Lowrance HDS Pro units offer faster processing, improved display clarity, ActiveTarget 2 live sonar compatibility, enhanced networking capabilities, and upgraded Active Imaging HD sonar support compared to older HDS generations. They are designed to handle modern multi-screen and high-data fishing setups.

What size Lowrance HDS Pro should I choose?

The right size depends on where the unit is mounted and how you fish. Many anglers run a larger screen (12”–16”) at the bow for forward-facing sonar and a 9”–12” unit at the console for mapping and navigation. Ben’s Marine can help you choose the best layout for your boat.

Does Lowrance HDS Pro work with ActiveTarget live sonar?

Yes. Lowrance HDS Pro units are fully compatible with ActiveTarget 2 live sonar, allowing anglers to see fish and structure in real time with forward, down, and scout viewing modes depending on transducer placement.

Can Lowrance HDS Pro be networked with multiple displays?

Yes. HDS Pro units support Ethernet networking, allowing you to share sonar, mapping, waypoints, and accessories across multiple screens on the boat. This is ideal for bow and console setups.

Does Lowrance HDS Pro come with maps preloaded?

HDS Pro units come preloaded with C-MAP DISCOVER OnBoard charts, including detailed contour mapping for thousands of lakes. Additional premium mapping options such as C-MAP REVEAL and Navionics can also be added.

Can Ben’s Marine install Lowrance HDS Pro units?

Yes. Ben’s Marine & Motorsports provides professional Lowrance HDS Pro installation, including mounting, wiring, power management, networking, and system configuration to ensure optimal performance on the water.

Do I need to upgrade my batteries for HDS Pro electronics?

While not required, many anglers choose to upgrade to lithium battery systems when installing high-powered electronics. Lithium batteries provide more stable voltage and better performance for sonar and large displays.

How long does a Lowrance HDS Pro installation take?

Installation time depends on your setup. Single-unit installs are quicker, while multi-screen systems with networking, live sonar, and power upgrades require more shop time. Scheduling during winter and early spring helps keep turnaround times shorter.

Is Lowrance HDS Pro good for both bass and walleye fishing?

Yes. HDS Pro is widely used by bass, walleye, muskie, and multi-species anglers. The combination of side imaging, live sonar, and detailed mapping makes it effective across many fishing styles.

Why Now Is the Right Time to Upgrade

Winter and early spring are the most strategic times to upgrade your electronics:

• Better scheduling windows before spring demand

• Time to dial in networking and integration
  

• Opportunity to test and tune before launch
