canon downrigger auto up?

[evntam]

I've had my electric canons for about 15 years. They are supposed to come all the way up to the water surface by themselves. Now, I have two that won't do that. I have no idea what's wrong. I have to hold the switch manually to have them come up.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

Cannon uses an ON-OFF-(ON)momentary switch. It is likely the switch is faulty inside. I do believe Russ sells them a the marine general, and they are not cheap about $15-20. the On-OFF-(On) in a DPDT switch is not something found at an auto parts store, so go see Russ.

Are these the same found on some boats for tilt & trim control from the bow ?

If so I have plenty of them.....and not at that price....
