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 Downrigger 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.
Receptacle Installation & Wiring
It is important that the receptacle is wired to match how the plug is wired.The
terminals marked “1” and “2” on the receptacle mate with the corresponding
terminals marked “1” and “2” on the plug.
Mounting the receptacle requires a 1
” hole to be drilled. Select a location
where the boats structure will not be weakened. Also, mount on a vertical
surface to lessen the amount of water that can enter the receptacle.
Alternatively, you may want to mount the receptacle using the Scotty
L-bracket (included in your Downrigger kit)
Using the template on page 6, mark and drill the required holes.
Slide the rubber receptacle protection boot onto the wire. Strip the wire
insulation back ½” to expose clean bare wire. DO NOT solder the ends of
the wires.
Feed the wire from the back, through the 1
” hole. Insert the negative (-)
wire into terminal “1” and the fused positive (+) wire into terminal “2” and
tighten both terminal screws. Make certain there is no wire insulation inside
the terminals and that there are no stray wire strands outside the terminals.
Do not overtighten!
Mount the receptacle. Ensure the drain hole is facing down.
Push the rubber receptacle protection boot onto the receptacle from
the backside.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Your Scotty electric Downrigger is equipped with an automatic circuit breaker to
protect the motor from overload. If you hang up on bottom or snag a heavy mass
of weeds and then push the power up button, the circuit breaker will probably trip.
Wait 5 to 10 seconds for it to automatically reset and you will have power again.
However, do not repeatedly attempt to lift a load too heavy for the Downrigger
motor. If possible, the Downrigger line must first be freed from the obstruction.
