I got a elite hdi4 in hull mount on non Lawrence ready outback.... Would it make a big difference if the ducer was In the water as far as picture clarity? I always have a hard time reading it in 150+ ft depth....anyone else experience this or should I tinker with the settings. What's a good setup for u if u have this unit?

I love my hds 7. Went thru this same thing just a little while ago. The only flaw I see with the dragon fly. Is it has no adjustability turn on and go.

I've been studing the manual and practicing on the water and you can adjust just about everything on the DragonFly if you need to. I've been zooming in to just the bottom 100'(say from 85' to the bottom 100') of water and can really get a great look a deep structure. Saw fish crusing around at 75' with a bottom depth of 110' and I can zoom just that 75' area if needed so even though it works fantastic on auto you can run the dragonfly any way you want or need.

It will make a big difference. Had a elite 5 in the hull. Now have lowrance ready. Night and day difference between the two.

I second that. Big difference. Plus temp readings help.
