Lowrance 4X vs. 4X DSI?
 
Hi All, is there any reason why I should not go with DSI model? I've never used a FF before so forgive me if it’s an obvious answer.


Also has anyone ordered from MarineScreens.com? My gut is telling me its a shady site.

Where do you fish?

Lakes, local harbors, and kelp beds for the near future.

I hear the dsi is not very effective if the transducer is shooting through the hull but I have no personal experience...I'm happy with my mark4 but would splurge for color if I did it again

I'm looking at the elite and thinking about upping the budget for the elite 4 dsi. I have a pro angler 12 which has a cubby area for a transducer.

I just bought the 4X and have it mounted on my PA 12. Still pretty new, only out a couple times with this setup but super happy with it. Didn't care for the DSI model myself. The picture on mine is fantastic, detail is great.. Very happy with it.

Ok I guess i'll be the guinie pig, i have a 4x dsi coming next week. Can I get a picture of where where you mounted yours? I want to make sure it don't get in the way incase I have to use the paddle.
