Cannon down riggers

[britty]

Does any one about greasing the gears of the down rigger so you won't heat up and burn out the circuit board anybody with information on this would be a great help

My last set of cannon electrics I ran 15 seasons with no internal maintenance and no issues. I'm not suggesting not to perform any pm

but they have been non-problematic for me. I run the basic ones, though, no programmables.

Keep in mind that cannon voids the warranty if the box is opened. Warranty is only suppose to be for the original purchaser.

I haven't heard about greasing any gears, but Cannon does mention this...

-Maintaining Your Downrigger-

Periodically, lightly grease the thrust bearing and bearing race found behind the clutch knob. Replace the cable at least every two years.

My DT IV's have been fine for years and they're always set to cycle or bottom track so they rack up some hours.
