2 Parts Description 1. Reel This is used to spool the cable, available in length s ranging from 150 to 400 feet. 2. Boom This is used to extend the weight out from the body of the downrigger and has a pulley fixed to its end. Boom lengths range from 24 to 53 inches.
3 Mag 20 DT New Features Magnum Power The Mag 20 DT/HS and Mag 20 DT/TS feature improved tolling weight capacity, retrieval rate, and quality. The Mag 20 DTs can now accommodate trolling weights up to 20lbs. The newly improved Mag 20 DTs also feature a high retrieval rate up to 250 feet per minute.
4 Downrigger Mounting on Boat s A downrigger should be mounted where ever it is easy to operate and observe. You want to be able to see your fishing rod and to react quickly. So, choosing a good spot to mount your downrigger on your boat is 99% of the job.
5 Side Rail Mounting Side/Rail mounts can be mounted to a 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.
6 NOTE: When using the telescopic boom, we strongly recommend the use of a deck plate on all boats to provide adequate stability for the downrigger. The Low-Profile Swivel Base mounting follows the sa.
7 Mounting the Downrigger on the Base Slide body over the lip of the base, with boom outboard or facing the stern. Lift Lock Knob to hold threaded shaft clear of base until body completely covers base. Turn Lock Knob clockwise to tighten the downrigger to the base.
8 T erminating the Downrigger Cable Cannon Uni-Release The Cannon Uni-Release attaches directly to the downrigger weight. Attach fishing line to the clip at the end of the release, and then click through a series of increasing tension settings.
9 CAUTION: This rod holder is intended for use of up to 30 lb. test line only, and is not recommended for use with any tackle IGFA rated higher than 30 lb. A safety strap (not included) is recommended for all applications. The rod holder assembly is not warranted when used with tackle above 30 lbs.
10 Wiring Y our Downrigger Your Boat's Electrical Condition It is important to make sure that your boat is properly set up before installing your Mag 20 DT with Positive Ion Control (PIC). Whenever a boat is in water, various submerged parts interact to create weak electrical currents.
11 FUSE / BREAKER SPECIFICATI ONS: 30 Amp, 32 Volt, waterproof, fast blow. WIRE SPECIFICATIONS: 0-15 ft. (0-5 meters) 10 gauge 15-25 ft. (5-8 meters) 8 gauge 25-30 ft. (8-9 meters) 6 gauge CAUTION: When using wire longer than that provided with your unit, follow the above chart.
12 Clutch Knob 3-Position Motor Swit ch Operating Y our Downrigger After mounting the Cannon downrigger to your boat, release some line from your rod and reel so that the lure is anywhere from 5 to 100 feet behind the boat. Tthis is called drop back. Attach the fishing line firmly into the line release.
13 NOTE: Make sure that the clutch is well tightened when using powered descent or ascent. NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback") NOTE: If your reel continues to slip no matter how hard you tighten the brake adjust knob, try this suggestion.
14 The Short S top System The Short Stop system is composed of three critical components: the electronic unit, the reel set screw, and the trolling weight insulat or. While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a minute electrical current that flow s between the cable and the grounded metal boat components in the water.
15 How the Positive Ion Control System Works The PIC system uses an internal circuit that passes the voltage through the drive train of the Mag 20 DT to the reel set screw. The set screw contacts the cable. Care must be taken to ensure contact between the cable and the set screw when replacing the cable.
16 Blowback Simply stated, blowback is what happens to the downrigger weight when you pull it through the water behind your boat. As your speed increases, so does the horizontal distance between the weight and your downrigger. The faster you go, the farther the weight is behind you.
17 T rouble Shooting PROBLEM: Up or down will not work. SOLUTION: Check the battery cable polarity then check the battery voltage. A properly connected and charged battery is important for safety and for proper operation of the downrigger.
18 T en Good T r olling T ip s 1) Test your lures over the boat side before sending them down and back. Do this to make sure the lure wiggles and wobbles properly without going belly up or wandering off. Some lures can be adjusted, fine tuned actually, to impart maximum action.
