Lots of great info in this thread. 

MT, how well does the DSI Imaging work from a canoe on your Lowrance Elite 4 DSI? 


I had zero problems with imagery even at a standstill. What still is in question is power consumption. I went through (2) 8 pacs of lithium double A's in 2 weeks only fishing 4/5 hours per day.

Is it because the elite draws massive juice or is it because I was shooting through my hull and had subsequently mounted a keel guard right over where the transducer was shooting? Probably a bit of the latter and a lot of the former. I will move the transducer and see how it does.

The unit is incredibly sweet. The DSI imaging is unlike anything I have seen before. It not only shows you the tree branch you are passing over but also shows you the bait school within. Pretty nifty. Yup I'm head over heels........high maintenance but very nice to look at and I would have a hard time giving her up.  ;)
