Any opinions on the Lowrance "DSI" fish finders - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like my Elite 5 DSI with Navionics gold. I can read bait, kelp, fish and structure no problem. Next is ordering some Li-Ion batteries to save on weight!

Thanks Jarrod! The Elite 5 DSI looks like a great unit. Seems like Lowrance is getting ready to release the Elite 5 HDI sometime soon. I think that will probably be the unit for me. I looked at the Elite 7 HDI today and its nice but I am wondering if it is a little TOO BIG. I'm on a PA 14. Anyone have any photos of an Elite 7 mounted on their Kayak?

Fits fine on a PA 12. The only issue I had was install is a little difficult because you have two very thick cords to install through spaces that are designed for one. Really like the unit.
