NOTE: Make sure that the clutch is well tightened
when using powered descent or ascent.
NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth
shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of
cannon ball. (See "Blowback")
NOTE: If your reel continues to slip no matter how
hard you tighten the brake adjust knob, try this
suggestion.
1. Unwind the cable from the reel and remove the
set screw.
2. Align set screw hole in reel with reel shaft hole
by inserting 3/16" or smaller rod. Rotate the reel
until you feel the rod drop into the shaft hole.
3. Replace the set screw and tighten until you feel
resistance.
4. By gently rocking the reel back and forth while
you finish tightening the set screw, you can feel
it engage the shaft hole. The half dog point on
the set screw MUST enter the shaft hole, not
just be tightened against the shaft.
Caution: The brake adjust knob (clutch) should
be adjusted so that it is tight enough to hold the
weight and the lure at the speed you are
trolling. Over tightening may cause damage to
your downrigger when weight hangs up on
bottom structure or other obstacles.
Raising the Weight
Push the toggle switch up momentarily and
release. The weight will rise until it reaches the
surface and then automatically stop.
If you want to raise the weight farther push the
toggle switch up and hold until the weight reaches
the desired position, then release.
To stop the weight during ascent, push the
toggle switch down momentarily (approximately 1
second).
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.
