Troubleshooting
PROBLEM:
In the UP or AUTO-UP mode the downrigger stops
periodically but the display stays on or the circuit
breaker trips repeatedly.
SOLUTION:
• Low battery. The battery voltage at the power cord
is less than 11.5 volts (measure with a volt meter
while the downrigger is pulling up the weight).
• Power cable is too long or too small in diameter.
• Do not overload the downrigger. It is designed to lift
up to 20 lb. weights only.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not turn on.
SOLUTION:
• Check polarity on power cable.
• Check circuit breaker(s)
PROBLEM:
Unit does not count the amount of cable retrieved
correctly.
SOLUTION:
Verify that the correct line type (Coated/Uncoated)
and line on reel is set to the correct length.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not count the depth correctly.
SOLUTION:
• Current was interrupted and circuit board was reset.
• Check power cable connections and try to prevent
power interruption.
• Retrieve the trolling weight using UP or AUTO-UP.
• Unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and then
reconnect.
• Reset the Zero Depth to your desired position.
• Verify that all magnets are present in the spool.
PROBLEM:
Clutch slips
SOLUTION:
• Retighten clutch knob. Clutch knob should be
just tight enough that the clutch does not slip
when downrigger is in normal use. Do not use
tools of any kind to tighten the clutch, hand
tightening should always be sufficient.
• Check clutch disc condition by removing side
cover and spool. Replace if necessary.
PROBLEM:
Unit does not stop at water line.
SOLUTION:
Using the up and down buttons, adjust the weight
so it is at or a little below the water line. Use the
Water Zero button to set that as the new water zero
point. Note: due to cable stack this water zero point
may shift up or down. It may have to be adjusted
continuously depending on the amount of up and
down cycles.
