Getting Started 

Adjusting the Depth Meter 
 

The Cannon Depth Meter provides non-slip accu-

racy, plus easy resetting. To reset, just slide the meter 
away from the reel until the gears are disengaged. Spin 
meter gear to change setting. 

 

NOTE: Actual fishing depth may vary from depth 
shown on meter due to trolling speed and weight of 
cannon ball. (See "Blowback" on page 21) 
 
The Short Stop System  
 

The Short Stop system is composed of three critical 

components: the electronic unit, the reel conductive 
path, and the trolling weight insulator. 
 

While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is a 

small electrical current that flows between the cable and 
the grounded metal boat components in the water. 
When the cable clears the water, this current flow will 
stop. 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. The reel conductive path al-
lows the circuit path to be made through the structure of 
the downrigger. 

 

weight insulators. 
 
 

Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the 

cable strain caused by bouncing weights or weights hit-
ting the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep 
the weight from hitting the boat hull.
