Bigbarge50 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I Got the DSI.... will report in after a test run. The test run will occur when it stops snowing....haha Quote
Todd Driscoll Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 The Lowrance Mark and Elite DSI reference manuals are now on the web. The direct link for the Elite DSI is below. http://www.lowrance.com/Products/Marine/Mark-Elite-Series/Elite-5-DSI/Downloads/ Quote
BassChaser57 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I will be adding a Lowrance HDS 8 with sidescan this spring. Any deals out there? Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 15, 2011 Super User Posted January 15, 2011 Will not buy Lowrance. Will go with Hummingbird. Probably the down and side scanner model for console and a smaller sonar for the trolling motor. Beware if you purchase any Lowrance product. :-* Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Because of the customer service Sam? Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 16, 2011 Super User Posted January 16, 2011 Sam, I'm not to sure about that now after an e-mail I got from Humminbird customer service this week. This is part of it: "an acceptable display per our guidelines of quality control." That means that they will allow a certain level of defects to be put on the market with no corections done when a customer notices them. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted January 20, 2011 Super User Posted January 20, 2011 Well Sam, I am sure about it as of today. Humminbird decided to replace the unit. Thank you Humminbird Quote
