how is fishing in buffalo

I have 2 electric cannon downriggers that need servicing. Does anyone know anybody local that can fix them? thanks

Try Tonys reel & downrigger repair in Orchard Park. 716- 662- 5692. Got this info. off another web site. Don't know for sure.

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

Yup, saw a picture yesterday of perch and eyes. In fact I call the eye a bass it was so fat. The perch all look deformed they're so fat.
