Smikac32 what seems to be wrong with riggers they are pretty simple for most part if older but the high speeds I've never opened up.
Bailey,
they are older. When i connect them to the battery, they don't do anything. I checked the plug for power and it shows full power. 1 of my downriggers work for maybe 3 or 4 drops in the water the i would have to manually bring it up.
Try pulling side cover off and test switches with meter to make sure they are working correctly. Could be bearings a little gummed up once side panel removed they are not that intimidating to take apart and replace looks like a power window motor inside. Bet online is diagram. I am replacing my switches with on/ off / on switch to eliminate the momentary on for lowering. I will be going thru mine soon if in no rush i'll tell ya how bad it is reach bearings soon.
Tony is good he does reels, riggers, electric trolling motors and some other electronics.
The up/ down switch could be bad. It could be losing power/ continuity from time to time. My neighbors went bad that way.
Thanks for all the help. At least time is on my side for now
Not sure about connons but on my older big johns the copper contact in /under the rocker switch burned out & I just reversed it (end for end,side for side) & it worked, Been good for a few yrs. now. Something to look at.
I believe that i saw TWO boats out yesterday at the mouth of the Niagra River by Donley's wall. I was going over the Skyway at about 2:00 pm. I was driving and could not look real good. It was a good afternoon. Was anyone out from this site? How did you do?
