Adjusting the Depth Meter
The Cannon Depth Meter provides
NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback" on page 12)
The Short Stop System
The Short Stop system is composed of three critical components: the electronic unit, the reel set screw, and the trolling weight insulator.
While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a minute 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 set screw allows the circuit path to be made1/16" 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 hitting 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 do not function when spooled with monofilament or super lines.
Maintaining Your Downrigger
Periodically, lightly grease the thrust bearing and bearing race found behind the clutch knob. Replace the cable at least every two years. There are no other user serviceable parts on the Mag 10HS \ Mag 10TS \ Mag 5HS. Your warranty will be void if the seal on your unit is broken. For repairs or servicing your downrigger refer to the Warranty Information section of this booklet.
