Cannon Downriggers, so much good stuff!

Cannon Downriggers make a downrigger perfect for almost every type of fisherman on any type of sea. Whether you’re trolling open water for salmon or pulling walleye off of structure, a Cannon downrigger instantly gives you controlled depth and more accurately positioned bait presentation. No matter what species you’re after, fish have nowhere to hide.

• POSITIVE ION CONTROL: Counteract fish-repelling negative energy fields with Cannon’s Positive Ion Control technology. Emits a field of positive ions to draw fish to the cannonball – right where you want ’em.
• SHORT-STOP: Automatically stops the weight at the water’s surface, preventing the lift motor from raising it into the pulley at the end of the boom. When the downrigger cable is in the water, a small electrical current flows between the cable and grounded metal boat components in the water. When the cable clears the water, the current flow stops. The Short-Stop system senses this interruption and turns off the motor. The trolling weight insulator is used to break the cable contact to the water while the weight is still in the water. Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the cable strain caused by a bouncing weight or a weight hitting the boom end, and it also keeps the weight from swinging into the boat hull. This feature requires the boat to be properly grounded.

• CANNONLINK: The CannonLink™ Fishing System Module from Humminbird® unlocks the potential of select Humminbird Fishfinders (Humminbird 1100, 900, 700 or Matrix Series) by allowing you to network up to six Cannon Mag20 DT/TS and Mag20 DT/HS downriggers to the fishfinder. Operate each downrigger directly from your fishfinder to put yourself in command of one powerful fishing machine.

  Through an intuitive menu controlled from the fish finder, the user can quickly set-up and update settings that operate the downriggers. When fishing short-handed on the boat, the CannonLink module enables the captain to easily operate the downriggers from the console, while the mate tends to the rigging lines.

There are three categories of Downriggers offered by Canon.
Cannon Manual Downriggers, Cannon Electric Downriggers, Cannon Tournament Downriggers

Propulse adjustable pitch propellers

For many boaters, Propulse propellers have answered your prayers. Propulse boat props have a unique design which allows a boater to manually change the pitch of the prop so it will perform ideally to your boat. If you use one prop for speed or cruising and a lower pitch for watersports, now you can do it all with just one prop! If you are tired of having to go to the prop shop or buy a new propeller a few times a year because of prop damage, with Propulse you can simply swap out individually damaged blades. Sound like a gimic? Maybe, but it does work. Performance? These four blade props will provide you with great acceleration, handling, stability, cruising speed, and fuel economy!


Adjusting the pitch of the blades


1) Loosen the bolts (7) about four turns with an allen wrench





2) Lift the ring (4) so as to release the locking teeth about 2 mm between the ring and the rear hub section (3)









3) Set the required pitch on the graduated scale (10). This is easiest to do if the propeller is positioned with the ring in the upward position. Then grasp two opposing blades and turn these until the desired pitch has been achieved. The central position represents the pitch stamped on the foot of the blade. The pitch increases by one degree per division on the plus side and reduces by one degree per division of the minus side. Note that all four blades moves synchronized at the same time.



4) Press down on the ring so that the locking teeth inside mesh








5) Retighten the bolts crosswise. Tighten firmly but without excessive force. Never use an extension on the wrench

4) Position the blades in the recesses. Make sure that the arms from the blades enter the recesses in the ring. Do not use excessive force






5) Assemble the adapter (1) and the front hub section (2) into position







6) Fit the bolts and tighten until about 4 turns remain


















7) Set the pitch as shown in the separate description
