What do we have here?

Just saw this. Any ideas?

Well...it's Humminbird, not Minn Kota...so...some kind of transducer.

 

...and it's pointed at us...some kind of replacement for TM nose cones that adds high definition, aim-able, forward looking scan...that's where my head wanders.

It looks to me that Humminbird is coming out with a trolling motor.

It appears that way but Humminbird and Minnkota are both a part of Johnson outdoors so I don't see them competing with each other. 

 

I'm guessing a replacement for the us2 transducer that has SI and DI or maybe MEGA imaging inside the nose. I guess we'll see in a few days.

Humminbird may just be putting their name on a Minn Kota motor.

That's kinda where I was headed.

Maybe it’s a new side imaging skag!?

Looks like it's a built-in MEGA DI transducer on the Fortex. I'll try and post the link.....

For the first time, anglers will have the option to select a Minn Kota Ulterra™, Terrova^®, Ultrex™ or Fortrex^® trolling motor with Built-In MEGA Down Imaging sonar. The Humminbird^® MEGA Down Imaging transducer will now be integrated into the trolling motor to provide a clean set up at the bow for anglers. Humminbird’s ultra-clear MEGA Imaging™ is the first Down Imaging technology to enter the megahertz range with performance that’s nearly three times greater than traditional 455 kHz frequencies. It results in the clearest, sharpest on-screen images ever seen.
