Downrigger Mounting on Boats

A downrigger should be mounted wherever 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 location to mount your downrigger on your boat is very important.

Due to the great variety of boats available, mounting your downrigger can be a difficult decision. Cannon has a complete line of mounting and fishing accessories to aid in your fishing experience. Before making any permanent changes to your boat consider what accessories might be used in your application.

Installing the Base on Your Boat

Decks up to 7/16" thick

Where access to the underside of the deck is not available, the mounting base can be mounted using wellnuts. Use the base as a template to mark locations and drill four wellnut clearance holes. Mount the base using four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2" truss head screws and four wellnuts. Tighten the screws so the wellnuts are firmly compressed as pictured.

DIGI-TROLL 5, DIGI-TROLL 5 TS specifications

The Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 are sophisticated trolling motor controllers that represent a leap forward in fishing technology. Designed for the angler who demands precision, efficiency, and ease of use, these devices offer a suite of features that enhance the fishing experience.

A standout feature of both models is the integrated digital depth counter, which provides real-time readings of the depth at which the bait is deployed. This valuable information allows anglers to optimize their lure presentation and accurately target specific species. The ability to monitor depth digitally eliminates the guesswork and ensures that the bait is presented where the fish are most likely to be.

The DIGI-TROLL series also boasts advanced line counter technology, enabling users to track how much line has been let out. This feature is particularly beneficial when trolling multiple lines, as it helps maintain consistent bait depth and spacing. The precise line counter enhances productivity by reducing tangles and ensuring that each line is effectively set at the desired depth.

Another significant characteristic is the dual-speed control that both models offer. This allows users to customize the speed of their downrigger, giving anglers the versatility to adapt to changing conditions or particular fish behavior. The DIGI-TROLL 5 TS takes this a step further with a feature for auto-stop, which helps prevent overrun and provides added convenience when adjusting settings.

Furthermore, both the DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 come with intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. Backlit LCD displays make it easy to read information even in low-light conditions, which is vital during early morning or late evening fishing trips. The buttons are strategically placed for quick adjustments, ensuring that anglers can focus on catching fish rather than fiddling with complex settings.

Durability is another hallmark of the DIGI-TROLL series. Built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, these devices feature corrosion-resistant materials that ensure longevity even under harsh conditions. The Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 are not just tools, but reliable companions that enhance every fishing outing.

Whether you are a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, the Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 offer essential features and robust technology to elevate your fishing game. With these innovative trolling motor controllers, the path to a successful day on the water is clearer and more efficient than ever before.
