I just bought the Lowrance Elite 4 and was not happy with it. I am use to the Humminbird size of screens and the Elite was too small for my liking. Fortunately the Kayak I just bought came with a Humminbird 718 FF. I recommend getting the Humminbird 385 or bigger.

I got a hummingbird 343C fishfinder. I used it one season,it has all wires,transducer,ect..don't know how much it costs but I will would sell it for reasonable price. Good as new... Jimmyz recommends a 385 or larger so you may not be interested but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

6 payment plans are done online only when you checkout. But, you have to sign up for their email specials and they'll alert you when they offer it.

Also, you can't use gift card credits for this payment plan.

You have to do the payment thing on the phone or online. I recommend calling them so that you do not have any issues. I highly recommend using the 6 month pay option.

Nope. Call their customer service number and tell them you want to order something and want to use the 6 month pay option. They will galdy set you up without signing you up for a credit card or anything. I have done this many times and love the service they offer.

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.

i'm assuming 399 is after the $100 rebate?
