Walker downrigger, black box, and cannon speed temp.. Work??

[mdrducks]

I have 2 electric walker downriggers on a 20' lund alaskan. The downriggers have a black box hooked up. I am looking to install a cannon speed temp gauge this afternoon. I am planning to replace one bare downrigger cable with coated cable to run the speed temp.

Will the black box still work on the coated cable?

Will the black box and speed/temp unit interfere with each other. Or will I have to run the black box off just the bare downrigger? Or not at all?

thanks

I believe there was something that came with my Depth Raider that said you can't run the black box and the Depth Raider on the same rigger. I'd imagine the cannon speed and temp would be the same.

The coated cable for the S&T will negate any benefit (perceived or real) from the black box as the coating acts as an insulator, so in theory, it shouldn't put ANY charge into the water.

some guy who I won't name hooks up the black box wire leads to his wire diver rods, if you have one why not try it out,
