Cannon Repair guy

Lost the number for the guy near Lockport who does downrigger repair. Used him (Tony?) in the past-very good. Contact info much appreciated!

I believe he is no longer in business.  Whats going on with the rigger?  I may be able to help.

Mag 5 HS Rigger is 4 years old, I bought it new. Stopped working at all under warranty- took it to Screwy's got it back, worked fine for 3 trips and stopped working completely again. Took it to the guy near Lockport, he fixed it(not under warranty) then it worked for 2 trips and stopped working completely again. Board was replaced each time. Something more must be going on with this thing- was going to have the board removed this time. Any thoughts?

I had a Mag 20 that was eating boards.  Come to find out, the rubber switch cover was cracked and water was getting in and was the cause of the board failure.  Once I changed the rubber boot over the switch and the switch, the problem went away.  I can help you change a board if need be.  It is really easy.

How much are boards/ where do you get them? I'm pretty good with electrical stuff, with some guidance from you I'm sure I could manage.

Andy, there is nothing on those riggers you can't do. I'm sure you are mechanically inclined enough. At the most, you need to turn a few screws, the board has plug connections.

 

Fish 307 has all the parts you need.

All you have to do is unplug the old and plug in the new.  Make sure you reseal the cover.

When I was running Cannons I got the best service and repair from A & P Custom Tackle 518.283.5920. He an athorized cannon repair center. Knows em like the back of his hand. Ask for Peter Schumann.. Really fast turn around time was my experience with A & P. I did switch to Scottys in 2012 and have been very happy. Not bashing Cannons at all. Made the switch with a new to me boat and have had no issues with the Scotty 2116's.
