that settles it. If the skipper gives his blessing it will be good enough for me. thanks again to all who were kind enough to post their thoughts. HDS it will be.

If you have any problems with the hds let me know I am very knowledgeable on the unit.

Is anyone here more knowledgable with the Elite05 DSI unit ? I love the chartplotter. I am just not impressed with the sonar side of the unit.

Thanks to all... Ed I heard you were fishing yesterday, but Jason and Mat took good care of me. I ended up with the HDS 5 gen 2 w/insight. Will be installing soon. Once again cannot say thank you enough to all the good information.

Troy, I dock at Wild Wings so if you need some help setting up your new HDS-let me know, the screen overlays are a little tricky (lots to choose from) but you will want depth upper corner on your chart page, also course to steer, distance to destination, & your current pos. that way you can navigate on your map without going to the steerage page. sonar will need to be adjusted also for a better pic.......after that everything runs great in AUTO....Ed

thanks Ed, when I get the new one to the water i will probably take you up on that offer. As long as you don't mind a cold one while we work.lol. Hopefully the old one sells fast so I can put the new one in, but ... still waiting on stickers and paint so I can get it looking better. Next week I hope. Any tricks to installing the transducer? I have never put one in b4. looks easy enough. thanks again for your help

Troy, Don't know what kind of boat you have, trim tabs ect, but transducer has a small groove the runs around the center of the case that should be exactly even with the boats bottom....
