Deep-o-meter advice for Motoring in shallow water.

I'm planning on buying this
Does anyone know how it would work for just showing depths when at speeds of approx. 40-50mph. I am wanting a single unit for fishing in the marsh and close in rigs as well as freshwater rivers and lakes. I'd like to try the DSI for finding structure but am worried it will lock up, black out or be useless when running at speed.

When running at speed I use my circular depth finder on my dash instead of my fish finder on my bow.

I was trying to make do with one unit on my console just spin it around when fishing. Have never owned a sonar that didn't crap out at speed. Not sure if it's water turbulence or electrical interference causing the problems but kinda leery of buying two and still not having one functional unit.

Messes up a fish finder (as I call it).
A real depth finder (the circular one) works while you are on plane and is quick if you run up shallow. I would call it instantaneous where as a fish finder would take a few seconds to graph the change.

How do these work exactly? Compared to the others.

I am going to miss my flashers.

their both sounders.
One uses analog input directly to light bulbs whereas digital depth finders need a few seconds to generate a detailed image on your LCD screen.
