When you push the up switch it turns on the coil in the relay. The coil is then "latched" on electronically keeping the retrieve relay contacts closed. The switch is momentary and returns to the neutral position when released. The up relay remains latched electronically until the cable clears the water and circuit break causes it to unlatch. To go down you must hold the switch as there is no electronic latching Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
It is the "short stop". Senses a very small current thru the cable into the water. When the cable exits the water the circuit is broken and the rigger stops automatically if all is working properly. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The older mag 10 cannons used Omron relays that were rated for 5 ramps and they would not hold up well. The 5st and 10 stx use a much larger relay but they seem to malfunction prematurely. That website you referenced seems to have set up the new st/stx board to be used in the older Mag 10. Good news for older model Cannon owners. Most of the time guys just put in a switch and get rid of the board in older units when they go out. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Recommend to use a snubber on heavier weights with the Cannon 5 st and 10 stx. The start acceleration and stop deceleration is very aggressive which may leave a new 16 lb. weight on the bottom again. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Anybody using the weighted steel line from Torpdo Divers and how do you like it vs copper? Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Damn spell checker keeps on changing my words. Meant to say 150 qt. It would be good for a swim platform mount. I currently have a 150 Rubbermaid that I purchased at Sam's about 10 years ago for about the same $ and still is in good shape. The only problem with it is that it is difficult for one person to lift with anything inside because it is hard to open your arms enough to grab the molded in handles properly.

Just saw a 150 at Igioo brand marine cooler at Sam's Club for $69.95 Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have 8 of the Coldwater 453s and had exactly the same problem as described in the previous comments. Seemed to get worse after a year of use. After 2 years I called the Okuma office and complained. Even though they were out of warranty, I was given a repair authorization number to send back to Tuna Tony's. Talked to Andy on the phone and he said the new drag washer setup would solve the problem. Sent them out and had them back two weeks later. Just paid for shipping out. They are excellent now, no problems. At the time about 2years ago Andy said they don't sell Coldwaters any more because Okuma never fixed the problem. Don't know if they fixed it by now. I also have Covector 30s for spring browns. I have since installed the washers supplied by Tuna's and they are much better. Installing the drag washers is not difficult.

Been looking at them myself. The Suzuki looks interesting. There were some comments about it not being a true high trust because of the gear ratio but it is very similar to the Merc in displacement and gearing. The Merc is made by Tohatsu anyway. The one that differs is the Yamaha T9.9. It has a much smaller displacement and lower gear ratio to compensate. The Suzuki 9.9 has the same displacement up to their 20 hp so it is a detuned 20 which will be working a bit less. Certainly like the idea of fuel injection as I am tired of carburetors.

Pa Matt: guessing you are from Pa. If you are in NE Pa and have a useable block, try Performance Engineering in Hanover Twp, Pa, near Wilkes Barre. Best in the business at rebuilds. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice to watch the fuel consumption on the 4 stroke. Best milage is at about 4200 rpm, near 26 mph and almost 8 mpg. Difficult to get this info any other way. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
This is a direct display on the nema 2000 network from a 2014 Yamaha 4 stroke. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You can run the outboard pilot for a trolling motor (not electric), interface to a motor guide (electric) trolling motor directly and interface and display outboard motor data on late model motors. I have done the outboard pilot, Motor Guide and interface to a 4 stroke Yamaha with a HDS gen 2 Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I find I catch a bit more on dipsies than riggers. I use 50 lb powerpro braid and have no problems. Powerpro has a new type with a slippery coating that is a bit better on the fleas. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Meant to say DEKA batteries, not Deca Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The deep cycle batteries are usually not maintenance free. They are very thirsty and require water frequently. If you are not very vigilant and let the plates get exposed, they will be damaged. Some look like they do not have access to refill with DISTILLED water but if you look and pry carefully the covers with caps are there. I have been using the Duracell type from Sam's Club. They are made by Deca batteries in Pennsylvania and have been good for the price. Of course keeping them fully charged as much as possible is the other factor.

Cleaning Out Electronic Stuff

There should be a position sensor that connects to the out drive on the Sportpilot. It is not shown in the picture. Do you have it? Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Well, no responses. I guess not too much use yet since they are very new. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

You are correct about pumps in the fishboxes but that doesn't stop them from filling when you are not there to pump them out. For example, I was trailering in the rain and when I arrived at the lake , 230 miles, the boxes were filled so I was towing a few hundred lbs of water. Not good.

I have a 36 volt 112 lb Terrova on a Trophy 2052 I/O. Boat weighs 3500 lbs. I troll with the main engine running as slow as possible, about 650 rpm with the 4.3 Mercruiser. Use the Terrova as autopilot and to control final trolling speed as necessary. It is extremely good at those functions. My problem is deploying it and retrieving it when done. Can be bad in 3+ ft waves. I don't believe you will have much luck using it as the only trolling power source on a 3500 lb boat. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
