Lowrance Elite 5HDI?

[noam1700]

Thinking of getting the Elite 5HDI as they are on major markdown here locally.  I already use the Elite 4 but am wondering if anyone uses the Elite 5HDI for ice fishing and what they think of it.  Any insight is good whether positive or negative.

If you like the 4, you will like the 5! Nothing major in the way of changes.. Screen is twice as wide, and amplitude scope is twice as wide as well. Other than that, they are pretty much the same.

From what I understand I would need to buy a new power cord though?  With my ice pack for the Elite 4 my power cord/transducer are all in one plug so would I need to buy a new transducer then too?

All new elites use the same red power cord and blue plug transducers.

Love my Elite 5 HDI.  Sucks for interference next to my buddy's Vex though

I Love my HDS5 lowrance on the ice! You will like that screen size for sure. As far as the interference you can tune them very well. I use mine next to Marcum lx7 no issue.
