| Will the down imaging work with the transducer in my power drive? Or does it have to use a different transducer to get the DI to work thanks |

Location: NoDak | It will not work as down imaging, you can use it as 2D tho and there is a way in the options menu to set the pages to eliminate the Di screens |

Location: NoDak | I'm predicting in the next 2 years minnkota will sell a di ducer in there motors based on the popularity of them. Also for casting speed the down imaging may be more like 2D anyway ... |

| Thanks, i might just buy the base model then. I am looking to get a bigger screen for the bow. Would be used just mainly to follow structure when i cast. I have a 522c now works great just would like the bigger screen

| With the down imaging on the trolling motor it can get washed out when the trolling motor turns as well. |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | I have a question for those using the elite on the bow. how does the gps follow when going slow. I know my lcx38chd sucked. The arrow just spun circles and couldnt follow when crawling at casting speeds. My HDS8 is great.
Thanks,
Todd Yester |

Location: NoDak | my elite7's (2) both work great at all speads, only benifit of my hds is start up time is shorter, i have herd the talk that the gps is "jumpy" and as far as location i havent seen it. but maybe on sertain days (cloudy?) the gps speedo mayyyyy jump a bit at speeds slower than 1.3 mph, dont care when i am casting...
now maybe a hummiinbird 859 for $650 is a way to go, 7 inch screen like the elite, but if you look at the potential benifits of a LAKEMASTER brand chip to boot it may help you see your casting targets easyer, shallow water highlight, target depth highlight, water table adjustable.... look at this pic for a visual referance
dads boat has the elites, mine has a hds and a 959 to link up with my troller to drive its self, i opperate my dads boat when we are out

Location: WI | I ran 2 hdi's all last year. They work great at all speeds and never had trouble with it getting "washed out". I have the lo profile hdi transducer mount. Works awesome. |
