Automatic Gunwale Stop - Shimano BeastMaster 9000 Instruction Manual

Automatic Gunwale Stop

When the motor stops,
just raise your rod vertical and the rig will come straight to your hand.
Gunwale
Stop
You can set the reel so that when the motor stops retrieving the line you just need to raise your rod
vertical to have the rig come straight to your hand.
* When connecting to a power source for the first time the
Gunwale Stop is set at 6m.
From the second time onwards, the position at which the
reel is stopped for more than 5 seconds will automatically be
remembered by the computer as the Gunwale Stop position.
(This feature works within the 1m~6m range. When the depth
displayed is less than 1m, in the interests of safety it is set at 1m.)
* This product is equipped with a gunwale stop function, so that
if the reel determines that large changes are occurring in the
load, winding may stop well before the gunwale in the interests
of safety. This is a normal part of operation and is not a sign of a
malfunction.
Helpful Advice
When fishing with a short rod from the bow of a boat, if zero setting is carried out in the normal way, then the Gunwale
Stop Position will be outside of the normal 1~6m range.
In such cases, wind the rig up to the end of the rod and reset zero at that point to ensure that when the motor stops the
rig will come to your hand when you raise the rod vertical.
In this particular situation, as zero setting is not carried out on the surface of the water, the actual distance from the end of
the rod to the surface of the water will be different.
