BATTERY & WIRING INSTALLATION
RIGGING & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
For safety and compliance reasons, we recommend that you follow American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards when rigging
your boat. Altering boat wiring should be completed by a qualified marine technician. The following specifications are for general
guidelines only:
These guidelines apply to general rigging to support your Cannon product. Powering multiple downriggers or additional electrical
devices from the same power circuit may impact the recommended conductor gauge and circuit breaker size. If you are using wire
longer than that provided with your unit, follow the conductor gauge and circuit breaker sizing table below. If your wire extension
length is more than 30 feet, we recommend that you contact a qualified marine technician.
Please read the following information before connecting your downrigger to a battery in order to avoid damaging your product and/
or voiding your warranty.

CONDUCTOR GAUGE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER SIZING TABLE

This conductor and circuit breaker sizing table is only valid for the following assumptions:
1. No more than 2 conductors are bundled together inside of a sheath or conduit outside of engine spaces.
2. Each conductor has 105° C temp rated insulation.
3. No more than 5% voltage drop allowed at full motor power based on published product power requirements.
Fuse/Breaker Specifications
30 Amp, 32 Volt, Waterproof, Fast Blow
An over-current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) must be used. Coast Guard requirements dictate that each ungrounded
current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse. The type (voltage and current
rating) of the fuse or circuit breaker must be sized accordingly to the Cannon downrigger used.
