Operating Your
Brute ES
Electric Downrigger...
Take time to familiarize yourself with the controls
of your Brute ES electric downrigger.
On the right side of the downrigger (next to the
reel), you will find the clutch knob. Turn the clutch
knob count clockwise to loosen it or clockwise to
tighten it. Adjust the clutch so it will hold the weight
of the cannonball. You may choose to set the clutch
to act like the drag on your fishing reel and it will
give cable if your cannonball becomes obstructed.
Or you may tighten it down securely, which is
recommended when fishing in rough water.
On the left side of the downrigger (next to the
motor), you will find the switch cap that includes
the Momentary Up/Down switch and the Circuit
Breaker Reset Button. Press the switch Down to
lower the cannonball. It will return to the Neutral/Stop
position when you release it. Press it Up to raise the
cannonball. Again, it will return to the Neutral/Stop
position when you release it.
If you “Pop” the circuit breaker, release the Up/Down
switch to let it return to the Neutral/Stop position
(to prevent a runaway cannonball). Then wait 15
seconds and press the Circuit Breaker Reset Button.
On the left side of the Upright portion of the Brute ES
downrigger base, you will find the Tip-Up Boom
Latch Pin. This latch pin holds the boom in the
upright position. Pull the latch out from the Upright
to raise or lower the Tip-Up Boom.
Note:
At the initial installation of your Brute ES
downriggers, hold the counter wheel firmly
at zero and raise or lower the cannonball
to the surface to set the line counter.
This will ensure that your line counter is
showing the depth the cannonball.
1. While the boat is moving at trolling speed, set
your fishing reel to free-spool, apply slight
pressure to the spool with your thumb and let
your lure to the desired distance behind the
boat. Then set the drag clicker to stop your
reel from free-spooling. Place your rod in the
rod holder.
