Cannon Optimum Downriggers - NEW Software Update Available

[Yankee Troller]

If you've been looking for Cannon Optimum downriggers, and couldn't find any, it's becasue they were holding off on shipping them until the new software was ready. That being said, they are now available at my distributors. Contact me if you were unable to make it to the Niagara Show this past weekend to purchase some. I can ship direct to you.

 

If you currently own Optimum downriggers you should load software update onto your downrigger(s). This can be done through the Cannon App. This software update fixes the boot loader errors, and adds a feature to bottom tracking called "Max Bottom."

 

Here is a video on how to update the software in your Cannon Optimum Downrigger:

Great question. Talking with the engineer yesterday my understanding is while bottom tracking it wont let the cannonball go below that max depth.

Cannon Optimum TS used 2 or 3 times.

Display reads Software Cur: Invalid as per below when turned on.

Will not boot up.

Hard reset?

My other one works fine.

Any ideas?

Same with one optimum

You are seeing the Boot Loading error. Requires a board replacement (should be under warranty). The software upgrade is needed to avoid this. Update your remaining working rigger.

There was a fix for this in the last software update. Update any other ones through the Cannon App. It's covered under warranty. It needs a board replacement.
