Lowrance Elite DSI lands in Australia

LOWRANCE’S new Elite DownScan Imaging (DSI) sonar series is now available in Australia.

Comprising two models – the Elite-5x DSI fishfinder and the Elite-5 DSI fishfinder/chartplotter – the Elite DSI series combines Lowrance’s revolutionary DownScan Imaging technology with brilliant displays, smart automatic fishfinder modes and simple, intuitive operation into a surprisingly cost-effective solution.

The Elite-5x DSI and Elite-5 DSI feature a new rugged, low-profile, dual-frequency Skimmer transom-mount transducer with built-in temperature sensor that operates at 455kHz for wider and deeper coverage, or at 800kHz for more concentrated scans in shallower conditions with greater target separation.

For easy-to-use, touch-of-a-button execution, Elite DSI models have automatic fine-tuned fishfinding modes for simplified, instant operation and optimal performance, while allowing access to manual options for advanced control. For greater precision with bait or lure presentations, anglers can position the cursor anywhere on the sonar display to determine the depth of a marked object – such as suspended baitfish, a thermocline, or target fish identified among suspended tree branches.

In addition, DSI models feature Lowrance’s TrackBack function, which allows anglers to scroll backward into sonar history and pinpoint possible fishing hotspots. With the Elite-5 DSI fishfinder/chartplotter, users can also set waypoints, for easier navigation back to a desired location.

Elite-5 DSI fishfinder/chartplotter models also feature a built-in high-sensitivity 16-channel GPS+WAAS precision antenna for out-of-the-box, plug-and-play navigation, along with an external antenna option.

Designed with a 12.7cm (5”) 480x480 pixel SolarMAX 256-colour TFT display for superior viewing in all conditions and from wide angles, Elite DSI series models have 300W RMS DownScan Imaging power for unfiltered target separation at depths down to over 60m. The compact units also feature an innovative mounting design with an easy-to-install, quick-release, tilt-and-swivel bracket that allows for convenient removal and remounting, are fully waterproof to IPx7 standards, and are protected by a one-year limited warranty.
