HDS 8 with side scan and down scan- any problems?

[thelewiss]

G'day all, I thinking of buying hds 8 gen2 with side,down, scan any problems with either.

I'm not an expert but I was told that the dsi technology is not really good unless the boat is in motion and not at pace. If you are anchored it, bounces off its own sonar which renders it useless. I was told to wait about 2yrs while they work on the technology.

Cheers scratchie!!!

I've got a HDS7 touch with structure scan and it works great. I found some great structure with it. It has definately improved my fishing by giving a clearer picture of what's happening beneath my boat especially when it comes to finding bait.
