Cannon Speed-N-Temp Question


Recommended Posts

My 21' Thompson Hardtop came with four electric downriggers and a Cannon Speed-N-Temp unit.  I'm trying to rig the Speed-N-temp but am having trouble finding information on how to attach the sensor to the downrigger cable.  It is apparently an older model and I've had no luck locating pictures/instructions on-line.   I have a two page pamphlet for it but it hasn't been much help.  There is a wire loop in the front of the sensor  which runs from a lever to a nut/washer.  There is also another wire with a snap - which I think is a safety cable in case it comes off the downrigger cable.  I'm not sure if I need some type of a clip to attach the wire loop to the downrigger cable or if I need to run the downrigger cable through the nut/washer.

Any of you guys ever used one of these?  If so, how does it attach?

That nose piece on yours that attaches to the cable is not the stock piece.  The red thing on mine is a plug style electrical connector that I use to plug the antenna into the tag end of coated cable from my knot I use to terminate my coated cable to the swivel.

Jeff,

 

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this!

 

I think that I can rig mine like yours and hopefully get it to work.  My buddy slayed the walleye last weekend when he saw that his down speed was too slow for his plugs to work.  When he bumped up his surface speed, his rods started firing.  He has a Fish Hawk so he was unable to help me with my Cannon.

You are very welcome.  The nose piece on mine is just a modified T-bracket from the hardware store.  However you chose to terminate your coated cable (klincher of wire line knot) jus leave a tag end long enough to connect to the antenna wire off the probe.
