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. (See "Blowback" on page 12)
The Short Stop System
The Short Stop system is composed of three
critical components: the electronic unit, the reel set
screw, and the trolling weight insulator.
While the downrigger cable is in the water, there
is a minute electrical current that flows between the
cable and the grounded metal boat components in
the water. When the cable clears the water, this
current flow will stop. The Short Stop system senses
this interruption and turns off the motor. The trolling
weight insulator is used to break the cable contact to
the water while the weight is still in the water. The
reel set screw allows the circuit path to be made
through the structure of the downrigger.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use two trolling
weight insulators.
Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the
cable strain caused by bouncing weights or weights
hitting the boom end. Stopping at water level will
also keep the weight from hitting the boat hull.
Maintaining Your Downrigger
Periodically, lightly grease the thrust bearing
and bearing race found behind the clutch knob.
Replace the cable at least every two years. There
are no other user serviceable parts on the Mag
10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS. Your warranty will
be void if the seal on your unit is broken. For repairs
or servicing your downrigger refer to the Warranty
Information section of this booklet.
