Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Scotty Downrigger. In 1973 Scotty produced its first
downrigger. Our goal was to manufacture a superior downrigger, built to with-
stand 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. Please read carefully. It will improve your
results and also give you important tips on downrigger safety and care.
Good Fishing!
Features
AUTO BRAKE
Releases automatically when winding up the downrigger and sets automatically
when the handle is released.
CLUTCH BRAKE
The Scotty clutch brake allows descent of the downrigger at any speed you
choose. Most of the time you will want a uniform slow speed to avoid tangles.
However, in instances where you want a lure deep very quickly, the Scotty will
respond, giving you complete control. In addition, the brake is factory set to allow
the line to pay out if you hang up on the bottom. If you do happen to hang up on
the bottom, the clutch brake may allow you time to turn the boat around and lift
the weight free. It is advisable to always carry a good set of wire cutters in case
the downrigger weight cannot be set free.
