  • Page 2 Electric Downrigger Manual Thank you for choosing a Scotty Downrigger. In 1973 Scotty produced its first downrigger. Our goal was to manufacture a superior downrigger, built to withstand the demanding marine environment and we now produce many manual and electric models. This instruction book will give you basic instruction on mounting and using your downrigger.

  • Page 4 Downrigger Safety The Scotty High Performance 30” fixed and 60” telescoping boom electric downriggers are designed for use on wide beam boats of 16 ft. in length and up. Installation on smaller boats is not recommended. All sports have some physical hazards connected with them and fishing with downriggers calls for some common sense and precaution.
