Broken Down rigger advise
Hi guys ran into a bit of a problem on the weekend , well a cray pot to tell the truth .I was trollin round rottness for a mack or tuna and had the down rigger ( canon digi troll 10 ) at about 10m deep and hit a cray pot rope which caused the down rigger to peel out wire so we stopped reversed up and i started to bring the down rigger up and it sounded under load but not struggling to much then all of a sudden it completely shut off nothing on the screen no power at all so i had to hand pull up the last few metres . Just wondering if anyone knows if they have a overload fuse or something that would cause this because im heading to kalbarri in a week and would love not to send it away for repairs any info would be much appreciated as i cant find my manual . (ps the cray pots the pros where dropping where in about 20m deep with about 40m of rope preety annoying )

HiI dont have a downrigger,
Hi
I dont have a downrigger, nor do I have any experience with them, but I work away and Im board so I looked it up any way. I did a search at
http://store.cannondownriggers.com/media/document/3397132DT10WEB.pdf
and it sounds like they have a manual reset.
Electrical Specifications & Wiring Instructions
The Digi-Troll is rated at 30 amps (full load), 12 volts DC and is protected by a 25 amp manual reset circuit
breaker (located under motor housing). Be sure to measure the battery voltage of your boat.
If you have a look at the schematic diagram on the site it shows you the location.Hope it fix,s yor problem, have a good trip at Kalbarri.
Cheers
