Mounting the Downrigger on the Base
Slide body over the lip of the base, with boom
outboard or facing the stern. Lift Lock Knob to hold
threaded shaft clear of base until body completely
covers base. Turn Lock Knob clockwise to tighten
the downrigger to the base.
Tip: Periodically check base to ensure integrity.
The base should be replaced at least every 5 years.
Setting Up Your Downrigger
Attaching the Boom
Telescopic Boom
The intermediate section of the telescopic boom
must be extended approximately 5" before the
boom locking screw can engage the hole in the
boom. Slip the boom end into the frame and align
the holes. Secure with boom locking screw.
To adjust boom length, with the boom extending
away from you, rotate clamps approximately 1/4
turn counter - clockwise to unlock, and slide boom
section to desired position. To lock, rotate clamp
clock-wise until tight.
The Standard 24 Inch Boom inserts into the
downrigger frame. Be sure that the boom is held
securely by seating it firmly against the shoulder
inside the fame and fastening the boom locking
screw such that it engages the hole in the boom.
Assemble Swivel Head To Boom
Insert the telescopic boom-end into the boom-
align holes and fasten in place with a #8x5/8
screw. Spread the swivel head side plates and
slip the assembly over the boom end axle. Snap
the assembly together and install two #4x1/2"
screws into the swivel head.
TIP: Adjusting the angle of the boom head can help
control cable wrap on the reel.
TIP: Whenever downriggers with boom lengths
beyond 24" are used, Cannon's Retro-Ease Weight
Retriever will make bringing in the weight safe and
easy. It attaches to the cable below the boom end
allowing you to pull the weight to yourself without
having to lean way out or collapse the boom to
reach the weight.
