DOWNRIGGER CABLE SIGNAL

[Waynes World]

IM GOING TO RESPOOL MY CANNON DOWNRIGGER THE ONE THAT I RUN MY PROBE ON ITS A FISHAWK. THE STUFF THAT IS A CANNON PRODUCT. ITS BLACK IN COLOR. AND LOOKS TO BE A PLASTIC COATING. MY QUESTION IS WILL I RECEIVE A GOOD SIGNAL AT MY READOUT. GUESS I SHOULD HAVE ASKED BEFORE THE PURCHASE. DOES ANYONE ELSE RUN THAT SETUP. APPRECIATE ANY INPUT .WAYNE

Wayne,

If you are running a Fishhawk unit, you do not need a coated cable, that is what the black cable is you are talking about. This cable is for units that use the rigger cable to transfer the info to the unit mounted on your dash. Yours should have a transducer on the back of your boat, correct? If so, then you can use regular rigger cable.

YES I DO HAVE A TRANSDUCER. I ALREADY HAVE THE CABLE SO ARE YOU TELLING ME I CAN RUN COATED OR UNCOATED WITH SUCSESS. THANK YOU

You can run either cable, but you will get more blowback with the coated cable. The coated cable will not get you better signal, if you are fishing deep water temps, esp on the east end, the blow back could cause you to lose signal.
