I picked up a Depth Raider when they first came out, so long ago I can't tell you the year.. Still going strong. I modified the antenna to use Scotty stop beads on my 'rigger without any hangups... still using the original coated cable.

Speedy, Here's a video on the tension adjustment with Scotty power grip releases. In the video, he is showing the smaller release, mostly used as a planer board release here on the big lake. The adjustment is the same on the big releases. Note: Scotty sells the big releases with different length leaders. Many of us old guys use the longer leads so we don't have to hang over the gunnel of the boat to set them... much safer. Also, the longer leads will allow the rod tip to shake and bounce if you have a small fish on that doesn't pop the release. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+to+use+scotty+power+grip+release#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:0a8d6a85,vid:sBOYlF3PR0k,st:96 My 17 ft. tin boat.. -
I switched to Scotty's about 10 years ago and will never go back to Blacks.. easiest release ever.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSsh7CO2sv0

If you're sitting on a bunk trailer, the leak may be under the bunk board. Weight of the boat pressing down on the bunk keeps it from leaking when you fill it on the trailer. I would put a piece of wood under the back corner under the transom and jack one side up off the bunk a tad bit and check for the leak... repeat on the other side. Just my .02 cents...

I use Scotty downriggers, I just swing the boom up to get the weight closer to the boat..

I spoke with a fisherman this morning (3/14) who used the channel. He also reports 1 to 2 feet depth over the sand bars. The lake was dead calm flat so he was able to"skid" over them with his 70hp. outboard trimmed way up.
