| The Short Stop System |
| The Short Stop system is composed of three critical |
| components: the electronic unit, the reel conductive |
| path, and the trolling weight insulator. |
| While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a |
| small electrical current that flows between the cable and |
| the grounded metal boat components in the water. |
| When the cable clears the water, this current flow will |
| stop. The Short Stop system senses this interruption |
| and turns off the motor. The trolling weight insulator is |
| used to break the cable contact to the water while the |
| weight is still in the water. The reel conductive path al- |
| lows the circuit path to be made through the structure of |
| the downrigger. |
| NOTE: It may be necessary to use two trolling |
| weight insulators. |
| Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the |
| cable strain caused by bouncing weights or weights hit- |
| ting the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep |
| the weight from hitting the boat hull. |
NOTICE: Short stop and Positive Ion Control features will not function when spooled with monofilament or super lines or if the boat is not prop- erly grounded.
