Attaching the Boom
Telescopic Boom 
 
The intermediate section of the telescopic
boom must be extended approximately 5" before 
the boom locking screw can engage the hole in 
the boom. Slip the boom end into the frame and 
align the holes. Secure with boom locking screw. 
 
 
To adjust boom length, with the boom
extending away from you, rotate clamps 
approximately 1/4 turn counter - clockwise to 
unlock, and slide boom section to desired position. 
To lock, rotate clamp clock-wise until tight. 
 
TIP: Whenever downriggers with boom lengths 
beyond 24" are used, Cannon's Retro-Ease 
Weight Retriever will make bringing in the weight 
safe and easy. It attaches to the cable below the 
boom end allowing you to pull the weight to 
yourself without having to lean way out or collapse 
the boom to reach the weight. 
The Standard 24 Inch Boom inserts into the 
downrigger frame (see bottom diagram on page 
7). Be sure that the boom is held securely by 
seating it firmly against the shoulder inside the 
fame and fastening the boom locking screw such 
that it engages the hole in the boom. 
 
Assemble Swivel Head To Boom 
 
Insert the telescopic boom-end into the boom-
align holes and fasten in place with a #8 x 5/8 
screw. Spread the swivel head side plates and slip 
the assembly over the boom end axle. Snap the 
assembly together and install two #4 x 1/2" screws 
into the swivel head. 
 
TIP: Adjusting the angle of the boom head can 
help control cable wrap on the reel.
