Mounting Instructions
The Line Puller is assembled with the 1023 mounting bracket. This bracket can be
bolted directly to your gunnel or on top of an alternative mount (for additional
mounting options see page 7). Line Pullers can be mounted on either side of
the boat, on the stern or on either corner. They will work in any location but you
should be mindful of where you will be coiling the trap line and how you will lift a
full trap over the gunnel of the boat.
You may be handling heavy traps and long lengths of rope, ensure your mounting
location is convenient and safe for these operations. Do not mount the Line Puller
where you have to reach or lean a long way to lift a heavy trap over the gunnel.
Due to the heavy stresses placed on the boat gunnel by the leverage of the traps
on the Line Puller arm, we recommend that a wood or metal backing plate always
be installed on the underside of the mounting surface. This spreads the load and
reduces damage to the boat in the event of a snagged trap.
Care and Maintenance
Your Scotty Line Puller is constructed of corrosion resistant materials. The
following regular maintenance checks should be performed.
1. Routinely check the stainless steel fastenings with a screwdriver to see that
they are snug and secure.
2. Check the electrical plug connectors for corrosion and clean off any
corrosion found. Failure to clean corrosion may cause electrical arcing and
shorting which may be a potential fire hazard.
3. Do not use any lubricants. Lubricants will attack and damage the
plastic components.
4. Do not expose the Line Puller to ultraviolet light for extended periods
of time.
Polarity Information
Care has to be given when wiring the plug. Make sure both sides of the plug
match +/- polarity. Take note of the small triangle located on the female end
12 o’clock position, and match with the word “insert” arrow which is on the
male end. Then rotate the plug to lock ¼ turn. When your Line Puller is wired
correctly and plugged in correctly the unit will run clockwise. If your unit is not
running clockwise do not operate the unit. Check all connections and wiring for
proper polarity.
