Rigging Your Fishing lines
This section details the procedure of how to use your Downrigger in conjunction
with a fishing rod, read it carefully. It is best to rig your lines while your boat is in
forward motion, this will help prevent tangles.
Once your Downrigger is properly mounted, push the Downrigger brake
handle forward to ensure it is in the locked position. Attach your weight to the
Downrigger snap hook. Use enough weight to ensure the Downrigger cable does
not drag back at more than a 30 degree angle when travelling at trolling speeds.
12 to 15 lb. is adequate for most fishing conditions.
The AUTO STOP shuts o the Downrigger when a line bead passes through
it and triggers the shut o switch (line beads have already been installed on
the Downrigger cable). You can add more line beads at any point on the cable
where you would like the Downrigger to stop.
• Ensure your line beads are present and properly located prior to using
your Scotty Electric Downrigger
• Have the AUTO STOP switch in the “OFF” position, pointing in line with
the boom.
• Connect the power source.
• Lower the weight down approximately ten feet.
• Turn the AUTO STOP switch to “ON” and your Downrigger will stop as
soon as your line beads enter the gate passage.
• Your release clip should always be located at least five feet lower than
a line bead.
• Push the jog button to bring the weight or release clip up to the pulley.
