down speed and temp

[steelydan]

this may seem like a stupid question but here go's. i am installing a moor subtrol, do i need to strip away the coating on my downrigger cable where the probe is attached? i have not used any kind of down speed and temp yet. most of my trolling is in the winter on the flx. thanks in advance

Not with the klincher snap that they now have. Just about a 1/4 inch of the cable end where you make the crimp.

Yes, where the cable attaches to the probe needs to be stripped, otherwise the probe signal won't go into the cable.

Longline is correct, I just installed a new probe this year and it tells you that in the instruction. I did opt to use the thimble and snap swivel and not directly to the probe. I had no problems at all with readings. Good luck.

If you use a release like a walkers you only need to remove enough coating to install an electrical termination ring. We use Cannon Unitrolls an have one set up with Torpedo uncoated cable and a backup set up with the coated cable

i use band buster releases, i am going to strip off some coating and crimp on a swivel to attach the release. the release has a swivel at the bottom, i will attach the probe on the bottom swivel. then another swivel under probe to the ball. this way i can remove the probe.thanks for the tips. firechief, i purchased it used so i have no instructions.
