Not to hijack, but how does DI work on the trolling motor when your moving and turning the trolling motor constantly. Like when your trying to hold over a deep brush pile in the wind.

If you turn the trolling motor slowly, it won't mess the image up much ... but if you have to turn it quick or often, then the image will be broken up on the screen. You have to also understand that a DI sonar ping spread is fan shaped and not cone shaped like 2d sonar. Every direction change turns the fan shaped sonar ping, so you're getting readings in a narrow band 90deg to the left/right of the transducer ... and 2d sonar, being a cone shape, whichever direction you're heading, then the leading edge of the cone is in front ... even if you're going in reverse.

Here's what a DI image looks like when you have to change directions quickly, as in this case I was going through a stand of submerged cedars and had to dodge a cedar stump (DI tdx is on trolling motor) :

Please forgive the image clarity, as I had just started using the unit and did not have it dialed in. Plus, I didn't really like that palette color and changed it shortly thereafter to the blue palette color ... so I could get images like these :
