In my boat, I get the best images at 4-5mph and my chart speed set to match my speed (4 or 5). I also have si at the bow and a chart speed of 1 to 2 produces good images while easing around with the trolling motor.

I asked the folks at Humminbird this same question. They said that at least 1.5 mph and faster to get good picture.

If I mount DI on trolling motor what is the lowest speed that will produce a good picture?

I have had DI on the bow for a long time and it has always worked well even when going at slow speeds. I now have SI up front as well, only had it out once but I was getting good SI images last weekend spider rigging at .6 to .8. I think you will be happy with the performance at low speeds. My unit is Mega Humminbird

Same here. I get (what I consider anyway) pretty good pictures while going .5+ on SI on the trolling motor.
