Getting Started
Adjusting the Depth Meter
The Cannon Depth Meter provides non-slip accu-
racy, 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 21)
The Short Stop System
The Short Stop system is composed of three critical
components: the electronic unit, the reel conductive
path, and the trolling weight insulator.
While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a
small 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 conductive path al-
lows 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 hit-
ting the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep
the weight from hitting the boat hull.
NOTICE: Short stop and Positive Ion
Control features will not function
when spooled with monofilament or
super lines or if the boat is not prop-
erly grounded.
