Adjusting the Depth Meter 
 
The Cannon Depth Meter provides non-slip
accuracy, plus easy resetting. To reset, just slide 
the meter away from the reel until the gears are 
disengaged. Spin meter gear to change setting. 
NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from 
depth shown on meter due to trolling speed 
and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback") 
 
Maintaining Your Downrigger 
At the beginning of each fishing season and
more often during periods of heavy usage, lightly 
grease the thrust bearing, reel shaft bearings, 
swivel head pulley, ratchet brake face, and 
ratchet dog. When using for saltwater fishing, 
thoroughly rinse the entire downrigger with fresh 
water after each trip and lubricate on a frequent 
basis. Replace the cable at least every two years. 
For repairs or servicing your downrigger refer 
to the Warranty Information section of this 
booklet. 
 
Trouble Shooting 
PROBLEM:
Clutch slips
SOLUTION:
The set screw in the reel may have come
loose off the shaft. Follow the instructions 
below: 
1) Unwind the cable from the reel. 
2) Remove the set screw. 
3) Align the set screw hole in the reel with the 
hole in the reel shaft by inserting a 3/16" or 
smaller rod and rotating the reel until you feel 
it drop into the shaft hole. 
4) Replace the set screw and tighten until you
feel resistance.
5) By gently rocking the reel back and forth while
tightening the set screw, you can feel it 
engage in the shaft hole. The half dog point 
on the set screw must enter the hole in the 
shaft; not just be tightened against the reel 
shaft.
