    7. Always make sure the boat is properly grounded to the water. This will help ensure proper PIC voltage on the cable and that the Short Stop will function properly. 8. The use of Cannon vinyl coated lead weights is recommended. 9. Use the trolling weight insulators supplied with your downrigger. This insulates your weight from the positive charge on the cable.

The following specifi cations are for general guidelines only: CAUTION: These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Cannon Downrigger. Powering multiple Downriggers or additional electrical devices from the same power circuit may impact the recommended wire gauge. If you are using wire longer than that provided with your unit, follow the chart below.

  • Page 14 USING A DIGI-TROLL TRANSDUCER USING AN OPTIONAL DIGI-TROLL TRANSDUCER By installing an optional Digi-Troll transducer accessory (1491072), the Digi-Troll 10 is able to display water depth and independently bottom track. INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL TRANSDUCER Proper transducer installation is critical to the performance of your Digi-Troll’ s depth tracking features. For best results, follow all mounting instructions carefully.
  • Page 15 NOTE: The transducer cable MUST be connected before turning the unit on. WARNING: Connector removal or cable splicing voids the product warranty. Once the transducer is mounted and connected to your Digi-Troll 10, the display will show the bottom depth under SONAR DEPTH on the display (Figure 18).
  • Page 16 NOTE: A negative depth indicates distance above the water surface. During programming of special features, the display is used to indicate various settings. The icons for the Digi-Troll 10 display are illustrated below. Icons will illuminate as they become applicable to function settings.

  • Page 19 In the bottom track mode, the Digi-troll 10 maintains the weight at a fi xed distance above the bottom. In order to avoid continuous weight adjustments due to minor changes in bottom depth and boat motion caused by wave action, you have the ability to adjust the responsiveness of the weight.

    Cannon’ s electric downriggers offer fi shermen a big advantage in being able to stabilize and control the positive charge around their boat. Because of the composite construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are insulated from your boat’ s hull charge.
  • Page 25 OPERATING THE DOWNRIGGER How the Positive Ion Control System Works The PIC system uses an internal circuit that passes the voltage through the drive train of the Digi-Troll to the shaft. The shaft contacts the cable by means of a ball bearing, spring and, lastly, a one direction button head screw. Care must be taken to ensure contact between the cable and the screw when replacing the cable.
  • Page 26 The farther the weight is behind you, the shallower the weight is. The following charts provide you with blowback information for three sizes of Cannon downrigger weights pulled at three different speeds with no lures attached and with no current. Current drag, water salinity and the use of non- Cannon products will affect your actual trolling depth.
  • Page 27 REMOVABLE SPOOL COVER REMOVAbLE SPOOL COVER Your new downrigger comes with a removable spool cover. By removing this cover, you are able to gain easy access to your spooled cable and easy spool removal. This feature allows you to easily access tangled line, get it repaired and get you back into action quickly.
  • Page 28 MANUAL CRANK HANDLE USING THE INCLUDED POWER LOSS MANUAL CRANK HANDLE In case of a dead battery, your downrigger comes equipped with a power loss manual crank handle. This handle allows for the retrieval of your weight should you lose power or have an electrical failure. To utilize the handle follow the below steps.
