Simrad S2016 Fishfinder, 16in, CHIRP Sonar, 12/24V, IPX7, NMEA 2000, Ethernet, HDMI Output

Overview

The Simrad 000-12187-001 is a dedicated 16-inch fishfinder with an integrated single-channel Broadband Sounder and CHIRP sonar, built around a 1366 x 768 widescreen display.

It runs on 12 or 24 VDC power (10.8 to 31.2 V DC), draws about 20 W, and carries an IPX7 water-resistance rating for installs where spray and washdowns are normal.

The sonar output is rated at 1 kW RMS and can show bottom and targets down to 3,000 m (10,000 ft) when the transducer and conditions allow, which makes it a solid fit for boats that spend real time offshore as well as inshore fishing rigs that want a big, readable sonar history.

Key features

• 16-inch LED-backlit color TFT LCD with 1366 x 768 resolution and 400 cd/m2 brightness.
• Integrated single-channel Broadband Sounder plus single-channel CHIRP sonar in one dedicated display.
• CHIRP frequency bands: 28-38 kHz, 40-60 kHz, 85-145 kHz, and 130-210 kHz.
• Broadband frequencies: 28 kHz, 38 kHz, 50 kHz, 83 kHz, and 200 kHz.
• 3,000 m (10,000 ft) maximum depth capability when paired with an appropriate transducer.
• Blue 7-pin echo port for many Simrad and Airmar transducers, with adapter options for other transducer wiring.
• Ethernet plus NMEA 2000 and dual NMEA 0183 for sharing data with chartplotters and other onboard electronics.
• HDMI output for mirroring the fishfinder screen to a second display at another station.
• SD card reader for software updates, file handling, and backups.

Installation and setup

You can mount the unit on a bracket for easy viewing and service access, or panel mount it for a clean helm layout. Leave clearance behind the unit for cable bends and for locking connector collars, and route wiring with drip loops so water cannot track into the plugs.

At the dock, take a few minutes to confirm your transducer selection, sonar source settings, and network setup before heading out. Once underway, the keypad and rotary knob make it easier to adjust common sonar settings without leaning on touch controls in wet conditions.

Transducer and sonar matching

The built-in sounder connects through the 7-pin blue transducer port. That plug style is common on many Simrad and Airmar transducers, and adapter cables can bridge to other connector types when you are refitting an existing installation.

Frequency support spans both fixed Broadband options (28, 38, 50, 83, and 200 kHz) and CHIRP bands (28-38, 40-60, 85-145, and 130-210 kHz). Matching the transducer to the depths you fish and the hull style on your boat matters more than any menu setting.

Networking and station layouts

Ethernet lets the fishfinder share sonar and integrate with other Simrad displays on the network, which is useful when you want a dedicated sonar screen at the helm and keep your main display focused on chart, radar, or engine data. The HDMI output adds an option for a mirrored view at a second station without installing another full fishfinder.

NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connections make it straightforward to pull in heading, position, and other sensor data so the sonar view and waypoint marking workflow stays consistent across the boat.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt off the front bezel and screen with fresh water and wipe with a proper screen cloth. Keep the media port door clean so salt crystals do not build up around the card slot, and use the sun cover when the boat sits to help protect the bezel from UV exposure.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
