Keep in mind it sounds like the DSI transducer has to go in the water. Might want to go with the non-DSI model. Cheaper too.

It'll come with a manual, and there's probably online video manuals as well.

If you can navigate through a computer, then you will figure this thing out pretty quickly (Elite 4). It's just a computer with folders and sub-folders. And just learn at your pace. You can always use it in fishfinder only mode so you can view it in full screen (until you get comfortable with it and decide to play with the GPS.

I just went into west marine to check pricing on the elite 4 gold and to my amazement they had the hds 5 on clearance for 399! Wish I had the scratch to drop on it that day.but sadly I will have to save some more.
