Todd in NY

If my board turns out to be bad, then you are welcome to it.

That's a good idea! I have heavier gauge wire in my garage, leftover from my boat re-wiring projects.

I'll be in Syracuse tomorrow, well, today, Sunday June 4th to buy some coated rigger cable for my Sub Troll. I'll send you a PM with my cell number.

My booms are 4ft long. I live near Watertown NY, so we could meet somewhere. I'll actually be in Syracuse tomorrow (Sunday June 4th) at around 1:00 or 2:00. I'll post a pic of the riggers in the morning. I'll bring both of them with me and let you pick which one you want. I'll send you a PM now to give you my cell number. They might still have good cable and terminators on them.

Thanks for the offer! I can't order one until Monday anyway, so I'd be interested in taking it off your hands if you can find it.

Did you find the downrigger you were looking for? I have a couple of extra Cannon Uni-Troll HP manual downriggers. I'm keeping 2 of them for myself, to use as spares in case one of my electric downriggers stops working. They are very smooth manual downriggers.

There isn't a company out there that wants their products to last forever. I guess there's a good reason why Cannon parts are easy to replace by the average consumer.

I've already priced a new board on the Cannon web site. Thanks!

I have to add that these riggers are so clean inside, they look like they were made yesterday. No water intrusion, and no evidence of moisture or anything. It's odd that the rigger worked just fine last year, and now it doesn't. They are stored in my house during the winter months, along with all of my electronics.

It's from 2011, so warranty isn't an issue. I'll start swapping internal parts until I find the culprit. It's the best way to save money and not buy something I don't need. Thanks!

My rigger will lower the ball but it won't bring the ball back up. I took the toggle switch out and put it in my working rigger (another Cannon Mag 5 ST) and the toggle switch works. The toggle switch in the broken rigger will make an audible click when I try to raise the ball, but that's all it does. What might be the problem since it's not the toggle switch?

Looking for a new spool of coated downrigger cable for my Sub Troll. If I can't find some locally, I'll probably just buy it online. I've checked Fat Nancy's in Pulaski and Bass Pro with no luck. I live near Watertown NY.

I prefer the C-map charts for eastern Lake Ontario. I've never fished the west end, so I don't know how C-map compares to Navionics. I use a Carbon 12 on my boat.

He did a concert in Watertown NY last year. I wasn't able to go, but I had no idea he would be gone so soon.

Thanks for the info and the fast reply!

Just curious where you put the batteries. I'm assuming it's a 36 volt/3 battery setup.

Very sorry for your loss. I haven't been on the forum for quite some time, so I'm seeing this a little late.
