I have a buddy who is looking for a few downriggers for salmon fishing and LOW's.

Can a person buy like rebuilt warrantied ones froma mfger?

Does Minn Kota own Cannon and if so, can buy buy them direct from them? He was thinking a few of warrantied rebuilt ones to maybe save a few bucks.

Thanks for any help.

Best bet is to buy from a private party. Truthfully for LOW I would save the $ and just get some suffix leadcore. It dives deeper and will be plenty to get you on fish on LOW. Heck its even working for lakers and salmon on Lake Superior. I sold my downriggers about 5 years agao and have use leadcore since and now that the Suffix has come around thats all I use along with snap weights on the other lines to get down where I want to be.

What size boat is he putting them on? I have some home made ones that work very well with weights and some releases that I have not used since I sold the boat I had them on.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
