One essential feature of the downrigger is the depth meter or gauge that indicates lure depth. This allows the angler to control as well as return to specific depths where fish have been caught. Due to the success of controlled depth fishing, downriggers are now being used throughout the world to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt water.
Installation Downrigger Mounting on Boats A downrigger should be mounted wherever it is easy to operate and observe. You want to be able to see your fishing rod and to react quickly. So, choosing a good location to mount your downrigger on your boat is very important. Due to the great variety of boats available, mounting your downrigger can be a difficult decision. Cannon has a complete line of mounting and fishing accessories to aid in your fishing experience.
The Low-Profile Swivel Base mounting follows the same procedure as for the deck plate except that four 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" truss head screws are used to fasten the mounting base and four additional 1/4"-20 x 2" truss head screws fix the swivel base to the boat deck. Installation Decks thinner than 1/4" Use a Cannon deck plate (PN 2200693) to prevent deflection and add stability to decks thinner than 1/4". Use the deck plate as a template to mark the hole locations.
Installation INSTALLING THE BOOM AND BALL HOOK 1) Remove the ball hook collar, ball hook, and 1/4-20 nut from the included hardware bag assembly. 2) Thread the nut onto the ball hook, then thread the ball hook into the ball hook collar. Do not tighten yet. (Figure 1) 3) Slide ball hook collar onto the end of the boom and leave it loose. (Figure 2) 4) Insert boom with ball hook collar assembly into frame (Figure 3) and line up holes in boom with holes in frame (Figure 4).
7) Insert 1/4-20 x 2” bolt into reel side of frame nose. With a Phillips head screw driver, thread bolt into the nylon locknut from step 6. Tighten bolt until the end of the bolt is flush with the top of the nut. (Figure 6) Installation 6) Insert the 1/4-20 nylon locknut into the hex pocket on the nose of the frame (motor side of frame). (Figure 5) 8) Slide ball hook collar to your preferred location. Hand tighten the ball hook into boom tube. Tighten enough so that there is no movement on the boom.
Installation BOOM END PULLEY Telescopic Boom 1) Remove boom end assembly from hardware bag. 2) Remove #8 self tapping screw from hardware bag. 3) Insert boom end post into end of the small tube of the telescopic boom assembly. (Figure 9) 4) Align hole in boom post with hole in small end tube. (Figure 10) 5) Secure boom end with #8 screw as shown. Tighten with Phillips head screw driver. (Figure 12) FIGURE 9 Fixed Length Boom (Magnum 5 models only) 1) Remove boom end assembly from hardware bag.
Your new downrigger comes with a removable spool cover. By removing this cover, you are able to gain easy access to your spooled cable and easy spool removal. This feature allows you to easily access tangled line, get it repaired and get you back into action quickly. FIGURE 13 Installation REMOVABLE SPOOL COVER This feature also allows you to have multiple reels for different types of line. By purchasing additional reels, you can wind each with a different type of cable (i.e.
Installation REPLACING THE CLUTCH PAD To replace the clutch pad, follow the steps for removing the spool. Once the spool is removed, you have access to the clutch pad. (Figure 18) Simply pull it off the shaft and replace. Reassemble the spool and cover in the reverse order. FIGURE 18 ATTACHING THE ROD HOLDER(S) The locking rod holder(s) incorporate a locking tooth design which can be easily adjusted every 15° with the soft grip knob.
Installation TERMINATING THE DOWNRIGGER CABLE TIP: Use only straight cable when routing through the terminator. Worn or kinked cable can be stressed and may break prematurely when retrieving trolling weights. ATTACHING THE LINE RELEASE (UNI-RELEASE) The Cannon Uni-Release attaches directly to the downrigger weight. Attach fishing line to the clip at the end of the release, and then click through a series of increasing tension settings.
Installation USING THE INCLUDED POWER LOSS MANUAL CRANK HANDLE In case of a dead battery, your downrigger comes equipped with a power loss manual crank handle. This handle allows for the retrieval of your weight should you lose power or have an electrical failure. To utilize the handle follow the below steps. WARNING: LOOSENING OR REMOVING THE CLUTCH KNOB WILL RELEASE THE SPOOL AND ALLOW IT TO RUN FREE. MAKE SURE YOU HOLD THE SPOOL BEFORE REMOVING THE CLUTCH KNOB.
Installation Wiring Your Downrigger Your Boat's Electrical Condition It is important to make sure that your boat is properly set up before installing your Magnum with Positive Ion Control (PIC). Whenever a boat is in water, various submerged parts interact to create weak electrical currents. These weak electrical currents must be controlled to extend the life of the boat's metal parts and ensure a good fish catching environment. Check the zinc sacrificial anodes on your boat and on the outboard/outdrive.
Installation FUSE / BREAKER SPECIFICATIONS: An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used with this downrigger. Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, tripfree circuit breaker or fuse.
Getting Started GETTING STARTED Manual Descent: Fast or Slow By turning the clutch knob gently clockwise (toward the boom), you can let your trolling weight descend as fast or as slowly as you wish. Turning the knob counterclockwise (away from the boom) stops the weight. This gives you control to let it plunge rapidly or sink slowly to a predetermined trolling depth. With multiple downriggers, you could start all your weights creeping down, one at a time, and then stop them each in turn.
Getting Started Adjusting the Depth Meter The Cannon Depth Meter provides non-slip accuracy, plus easy resetting. To reset, just slide the meter away from the reel until the gears are disengaged. Spin meter gear to change setting. NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of cannon ball.
WARNING—DO NOT TOUCH THE CABLE REEL WHILE THE DOWNRIGGER IS IN USE! The Positive Ion Control System Your boat has an electrical charge around the hull in water. If a boat is properly grounded and has a proper zinc anode, that charge should be slightly positive when measured from ground to the downrigger cable. Positive Ion Control (PIC) is the use of electricity to control that charge and its fluctuation so that it is always maintained at a specified set voltage.
Positive Ion Control Theory How the Positive Ion Control System Works The PIC system uses an internal circuit that passes the voltage through the drive train of the Magnum to the shaft. The shaft contacts the cable by means of a ball bearing, spring and, lastly, a one direction button head screw. Care must be taken to ensure contact between the cable and the screw when replacing the cable. When using coated cable, 3-4 ft of coating must be striped when terminating the cable to reel.
8-Lb. Weight at 2, 4, and 6 MPH 2 MPH 4 MPH Blowback Calculations Blowback Charts Actual Depth of Weight (ft.) Blowback Simply stated, blowback is what happens to the downrigger weight when you pull it through the water behind your boat. As your speed increases, so does the horizontal distance between the weight and your downrigger. The faster you go, the farther the weight is behind you. The farther the weight is behind you, the shallower the weight is.
Trolling Tips Ten Good Trolling Tips 1) Test your lures over the boat side before sending them down and back. Do this to make sure the lure wiggles and wobbles properly without going belly up or wandering off. Some lures can be adjusted, fine tuned actually, to impart maximum action. For example, a slight bend in the tail of a spoon or twist of the hook eye in the nose of a plug can make a noticeable difference in how the lure performs.
PROBLEM: In the UP or AUTO-UP mode the downrigger stops periodically or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly. SOLUTION: • Low battery. The battery voltage at the power cord is less than 11.5 volts (measure with a volt meter while the downrigger is pulling up the weight). • Power cable is too long or too small in diameter. • Do not overload the downrigger. It is designed to lift up to 20 lb. weights only. PROBLEM: Unit does not turn on. SOLUTION: • Check polarity on power cable.
