Trouble Shooting
PROBLEM: Up or down will not work.
SOLUTION:
Check the battery cable polarity then check the
battery voltage.
A properly connected and charged battery is
important for safety and for proper operation of
the downrigger.
PROBLEM:
The Mag 10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS fails to
continue running after toggle switch is pushed
up and held momentarily, while cable is still in
water, or is having problems with the PIC
voltage.
SOLUTION:
Make sure your boat is properly bonded. A boat
that is properly bonded has an electrical path
from the negative battery terminal to all metal
parts on the boat that contact water.
Additionally, in saltwater the boat must be
properly zinced to show a natural electrolysis
voltage of 0.7 to 0.9 volts. The voltage supply to
your downrigger must also be bonded to the
boat.
PROBLEM:
Clutch slips
SOLUTION:
The set screw in the reel may have come loose
off the shaft. Follow the instructions below:
1) Unwind the cable from the reel.
2) Remove the set screw.
3) Align the set screw hole in the reel with the hole
in the reel shaft by inserting a 3/16" or smaller
rod and rotating the reel until you feel it drop
into the shaft hole.
4) Replace the set screw and tighten until you feel
resistance.
5) By gently rocking the reel back and forth while
tightening the set screw, you can feel it engage
in the shaft hole. The half dog point on the set
screw must enter the hole in the shaft; not just
be tightened against the reel shaft.
6) The set screw should be about 1/16" above the
top of the hole when it is properly seated (not so
for TS models). The contact between the
stainless steel cable and the set screw is
important for proper operation of the Positive
Ion Control system.
