  • Page 6: Mounting

    Due to the great variety of boats available, mounting your downrigger can be a difficult decision. Cannon has a complete line of mounting and fishing accessories to aid in your fishing experience. Before making any permanent changes to your boat consider what accessories might be used in your application.
  • Page 7 Decks thinner than 1/4" Use a Cannon deck plate (PN 2200693) to prevent deflection and add stability to decks thinner than 1/4". Use the deck plate as a template to mark the hole locations. If access to the underside of the deck is not available, the deck plate can be mounted using screws and wellnuts.

  • Page 14 USING YOUR DIGI-TROLL WITH THE INTELLITROLL ACCESSORY Both the Digi-Troll 5 and Digi-Troll 10 are compatible with the IntelliTroll accessory.

You can also use the Intellitroll monitor and antenna cable as- sembly to display sensor information.
  • Page 15 Your Digi-Troll is now Intellitroll compatible. Once you attach your Intellitroll to the cable per the instructions included, your Digi-Troll 5 will pass this data on to the Cannonlink for display on your Humminbird fish finder. USING THE INCLUDED POWER LOSS MANUAL...

  • Page 16: Wiring Your Downrigger

    It should be 0.6-0.8VDC (fixed PIC) or it should match your Digi-Troll setting if properly wired. • The use of Cannon vinyl coated lead weights is recommended. • Use the trolling weight insulators supplied with your downrigger. This insulates your weight from the positive charge on the cable.
  • Page 17 FUSE / BREAKER SPECIFICATIONS: An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used with this downrigger. Coast Guard require- ments dictate that each ungrounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The following breaker size is a recommended guideline: 1 downrigger—30A @ 12 vdc 2 downriggers—60A @ 12 vdc...

  • Page 23: Networking

    The Digi-Troll 5 downriggers are compatible with the In- tellitrol but only when connected to the Cannonlink system. The Digi-Troll 5 will pass the Intellitrol data to the Hum- minbird fishfinder for display on the fishfinder screen.
  • Page 24 Because of the composite construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are insu- lated from your boat's hull charge. When the stainless steel downrigger cable is low- ered into the water, the natural ionization between the cable and the boat creates a positive charge of 0.7 to...
  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 26 Current drag, water salinity and the use of non-Cannon products will affect your actual trolling depth. As an example, the first chart shows that if you are trolling at 4 MPH with an 8 pound weight and you have 100 FT.

  • Page 27: Trolling Tips

    Ten Good Trolling Tips 1) Test your lures over the boat side before sending them down and back. Do this to make sure the lure wig- gles and wobbles properly without going belly up or wandering off. Some lures can be adjusted, fine tuned actually, to impart maximum action.

  • Page 28: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting PROBLEM: In the UP or AUTO-UP mode the downrigger stops periodically but the display stays on or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly. SOLUTION: • Low battery. The battery voltage at the power cord is less than 11.5 volts (measure with a volt meter while the downrigger is pulling up the weight).
