1. Due to the great variety of boais available mounting your downrigger can be a dilemma Having proper mounting accessories is essential Cannon has a complete line of mounting accessories to convenienily mount your downriggers on any boat S O C Z a Z M F u M E U Mounting Accessories Deck Plates are necessary when extra strength must be added to the base material of the boat and for attaching the downrigger to other mounting accessories Gimbal Mounts are designed to fit medium sized flush mounted rod holders built into the gunwale of many larger fishing boats and cruisers Only sturdy high quality rod holders should be used for this temporary mounting system Gimbal mounts are available in 9 or 12 post lengths A Deck Plate Clamp Mounts can be mounted at the junction of two rail sections with the aid of two 4 pieces of plywood They will protect your rail from any marks from the clamp and provide a non slip surface Side Rail Mounting Side Rail mounts can be mounted to a Side Rail on T Section welded T section They can also be used at the two rail section butt joint In both installations it is recommended to use a non slip material such as rubber or a thin wood sheet between metal surfaces You can also use these for mounting to a very narrow side gunwale There is a plate provided for back up with bolts and washers If the gunwale compartment is foamed in then wellnuts should be used It2. e Use the trolling weight insulators supplied with your downrigger This insulates your weight from the positive charge on the cable This will also ensure that the trolling weight will stop at water level when retrieved e The cable on your downrigger should be replaced every 2 years Etching of the cable can weaken it physically and electrically e In saltwater make sure the sacrificial zincs are replaced when half dissolved This ensures that the boat will run with a neutral or slightly positive charge Clean zincs ona regular basis with a non corrosive brush e Always make sure the boat is properly grounded to the water This will help ensure proper PIC voltage on the cable and that the Short Stop will function properly Note You must unplug the Mag 20 DT to check the natural voltage on the reel cable Electrical Specifications amp Wiring Instructions The Mag 20 DT is rated at 25 amps full load 12 volts DC and is protected by a 30 amp manual reset circuit breaker located under motor housing Be sure to measure the battery voltage of your boat WARNING DO NOT RUN THIS DOWNRIGGER ON A 24 VOLT BATTERY SYSTEM THIS WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY Connecting to the Battery It is strongly recommended that a fuse or manual reset circuit breaker be installed at the battery on the positive lead of the power cable or that you connect the downrigger to a battery selector switch See Fuse and Wire Spec

Using Positive lon Control Positive lon Control is very effective when trolling The zone of attraction created at the downrigger wire will attract the fish It is best to use a short drop back between the downrigger release and the lure Drop backs of 10 to 20 ft are typical A drop back of 50 to 100 ft will entirely negate the effects of the PIC circuit Fishing depths greater than 125 ft may require a slightly higher PIC voltage If you return to shallow water fishing remember to turn the PIC voltage down again The correct PIC setting for your best fishing advantage varies depending on fish type and location For example the proper setting for Puget Sound Steelhead may not be effective for Great Lakes Steelhead To fully benefit from PIC technology it is important that you experiment with the PIC setting to find the proper voltage for the gamefish in your area For more information on this subject refer to Secrets of Fishing with Electricity by Ollie Rode Data In Positive lon Control PIC Knob Data Out E E nia 1 r ae i i i z F i E a m i F AIANILISOC O Z N O Z Ay O E Blowback Blowback Charts Simply stated blowback is what happens to 8 Lb Weight at 2 4 and 6 MPH the downrigger weight when you pull it through the IB TTTITTITITITITITI water behind your boat As your speed increases A dd EPE so does the horizontal distance between the 140777 O TTTTI omen weight a
