Lowrance is releasing this week the Mark and Elite DSI series.  They offer DownsScan Sonar technology into a more affordable line-up of standalone Fishfinder and Fishfinder/Chartplotter models. Until now, DownsScan was only available as a $799 (our price $649) option for the HDS >Broadband series.

There are new monochrome Fishfinder models Mark5 DSI and Mark5 DSI Portable, a colour Fishfinder Elite 5x DSI and a colour Combo Elite 5 DSI.

The DSI series is designed for shallow fresh and saltwater water use up to 50m. The new compact designed 455/800KHz Transducer can be installed along side existing 50/200KHz without interference.

Exclusive Lowrance DownScan Imaging™ innovation displays crystal-clear photo-like views of the underwater worlds below the Boat. No interpretation needed to see:

• Thermoclines Exposed – clearly see the boundary layer between the lower cooler water and, upper warmer, oxygen-rich zone where Fish hang
• Fish Truly Revealed – Elite-5 DSI imaging leaves nothing to the imagination, clearly showing predator Fish and baitfish schools
• Bottoms Uncovered – you easily distinguish between hard and soft bottoms, as well as Fish and structure on/near the bottom
• Structure Disclosed – with photo-like views you can recognize all manner of structure at a glance, like bridge pilings, laydowns, ledges, drop-offs, vegetation, wrecks; no interpretation needed
