Barto Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi All, I am taking delivery of my new kayak on Wednesday and am looking for advice on the above ff/ plotter. Does anyone own one of these and can anyone give me their opinion on this unit. Many Thanks Barry (Barto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Found this site with a review and comparing it against others http://www.fishfinders.info/elite-5-dsi-fishfinder I know it is an American site but gives you soe idea. I personaly would have thought that you may be going a bit OTT for a kayak but what do I know. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barto Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Dave, Us yakkers need to have some good kit. Seeing as we dont have an engine, it takes us so long to get anywhere, and then we're knackered by then. We have to make the most of whats below us !!!

Coddy Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Barry It might be worth checking how waterproof the Elite 5 is, as I know many of you kayakers love to wash the boat down completly from time to time! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barto Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It is better than me. The sounder is IPX7. I wouldn't last half an hour underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnt Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi, Just wondered if you got the Elite 5 DSI as I'm thinking of getting this unit - what are your thoughts on it? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
