I need a head unit to replace my 350, so when you upgrade please keep me in mind.

I agree about the screen size on the 350. I started out with that model too, but I ran across a NIB Lowrance Elite-5 Gold Fishfinder/Chartplotter on Craigslist for a very good price. Incredible upgrade from the 350. The transducer fit and form is identical to the 350 and since I have my transducer wet mounted in a mineral oil bath, it was dead easy to move to the Elite 5. I did a little research into the DSI technology from Lowrance and I cannot see how one could take full advantage of DSI without the full face of the transducer being in contact with the water. For me, a through hull transducer mounting on a DSI type unit just doesn't seem like a good option.
