REMOVABLE SPOOL COVER
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 ac-
tion quickly.
This feature also allows you to have multiple
reels for different types of line. By purchasing ad-
ditional reels, you can wind each with a different type
of cable (i.e. Uncoated cable, Coated Cable, Mono,
etc.). This allows you to switch out desired cables
quickly and easily.
NOTE: Remove all tension from the line before re-
moving or replacing the spool.
Follow the below steps to remove the side cover:
1) Loosen and remove the clutch knob. Turn the
clutch knob clockwise until it is free of the motor shaft.
(Figures 11 & 12)
2) Loosen the two 1/4-20 Phillips head screws on op-
posite sides on the cover. (Figure 13)
NOTE: Screws are captured in the cover and will not
come out completely.
3) Remove the cover and you now have complete ac-
cess to the spool. (Figures 14 & 15)
4) Reassemble by reversing the above steps.
Note: Take care when removing the spool over open
water so that the clutch pad or clutch disk doesn’t get
pulled off as well.
WARNING: Do not touch the cable reel while the
downrigger is in use.
