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.
