REMOVABLE SPOOL COVER
Your new downrigger comes with a removable
spool cover. By removing this cover, you are able to
gain easy access to your spooled cable and easy
spool removal. This feature allows you to easily ac-
cess tangled line, get it repaired and get you back into
action quickly.
This feature also allows you to have multiple reels
for different types of line. By purchasing additional
reels, you can wind each with a different type of cable
(i.e. Uncoated cable, Coated Cable, Mono, etc.). This
allows you to switch out desired cables quickly and
easily.
NOTE: Remove all tension from the line before
removing or replacing the spool.
Follow the below steps to remove the side cover:
1) Loosen and remove the clutch knob. Turn the
clutch knob clockwise until it is free of the motor shaft.
(Figures 13 & 14)
2) Loosen the two 1/4-20 Phillips head screws on op-
posite sides on the cover. (Figure 15)
NOTE: Screws are captured in the cover and will not
come out completely.
3) Remove the cover and you now have complete
access to the spool. (Figures 16 & 17)
4) Reassemble by reversing the above steps.
NOTE: Take care when removing the spool over
open water so that the clutch pad or clutch disk
doesn’t get pulled off as well. (Figure 17)
WARNING: Do not touch the cable reel while the
downrigger is in use.
