Congratulation,s to the both of you,great job.

Thank,s for the great post,s, i always look forward to seeing what you have to say.

I,ve had had trouble with their cable breaking for no reason and their printed circuit board,s 3in two season,s,with their cable i have replaced with scotty,s brand so far so good and with the printed circuit board,s i installed new battery,s to service them and i have not had a problem this season all thought they did not get much use.In as far as their service dept that all i got from them was did you bring it to a service center for a lot of buck,s per hr and better luck with the next one.

Just to add a little info if you launch by the coast guard station one of the slab,s has shifted and your trailer will be uneven and you will have a hard time getting your boat on level,i found this out the hard way last year and nothing has been done about it.Also tried Arney,s and his fee is $20.

I think he would give admiral byrd a run for his money.

I,am intrested can you tell me a bit about it does it work right,how old,and also where are you located?

I have that spoon i will have to run it next time i,am out

Nice to see you guy,s had a good day

Okay thank,s for the feedback,i have a new kicker on order and i,am waiting  for that to get here before i decide.

Rich do you know anything about those garmin unit,s that run the kicker,i try to run my boat with a kicker most of the time.

I,am looking into buying a reactor 40 kicker autopilot by garmin,this may be the current version of what u have would you recommend it?I have a 23.6 boat and i will be using a 15hp motor to push it.

God Darn Right

Yeah Les it can be a lot of fun,but we know that there is a possibility of scratching  that motor.

Ok thank,s fisherdude i think i can make one for sure.

Does anyone have a picture of a Gary D Rig i,am curious to see what they look like.

Last year while fishing the fall derby at the oak i had my probe side downrigger cable break,i was lucky and caught it by hand,i went to narby,s and got another.THE CABLE WAS CANNON original not that old.My new take is to change the probe side out every two yrs, a lot cheaper than replaceing a probe,i also put a scotty cable on it i hope it hold,s up better than the cannon

That must be the one i caught pulling flasher,s,it said return to sender on it

Darn bass holes

i use the same one on varmint,s work,s good

I have had a lot of trouble with cannon stx i dont think i would buy them again.

Thank,s for the head.s up i will check them for voltage and load to determine which way i should go with them,I am also going to install a heavier gauge wire from battery to the buss and a new fuseblock,i hope that takes care of it.

Broke off i have had the same problem i have had three board,s go ,one last fall and two when i put the boat in this spring if i,am not mistaken they seemed to go bad over the winter they were in my warm basement,but i will check the voltage,s on my battery,s they were charged when i put them in the boat.The board,,s were on three different rigger,s.

I think you need to take a good look at chinook 35 post it speak,s for itself.

In the last month i have had 2printed circuit boards on two different downrigger,s and last fall i had the same problem on another rigger has anyone else been having problem,s like this.Thant,s 3 circuit board,s in 6 month,s all on different rigger,s.

In my opinion i wouln,t be going very far offshore with a little boat,like the size you have i think you are asking for trouble remember you only have one live so don,t be careless with it.Get a bigger boat.
