it’s not out of warranty. ever. it’s a scotty.Having an issue with my Scotty downrigger and looking for some advice.
Basically, my downrigger gets stuck when retrieving back up. It almost feels as if the ball is stuck on the bottom, but it isn’t.
Any idea how I trouble shoot? Unit is out of warranty.
Well I’m not the original purchaser so won’t be covered. When I push the button or the auto switch to “on” the rigger slowly try’s to pull the ball up and then get stuck and stocks pulling. Then it will go up and down slightly. Sometimes it will pull another few feet before repeating, sometimes it just stops all together.it’s not out of warranty. ever. it’s a scotty.
can you expand on “gets stuck”? so you turn the auto button to retrieve your ball andnit doesn’t do anything? or it’s just real slow?
Check breaker, cheap and easy to replace,That was my first thought also, but I did have to replace a motor on one rigger.
It was worn out and wouldn't retrieve properly.
Scotty installed a new motor for free.
To me it sounds like bad brushes in the motor. Could be as simple as a breaker if that doesn’t work I would guess it’s the motor. Box it up send it off to Scotty, they’ll fix it.Well I’m not the original purchaser so won’t be covered.

You do not have to be the original owner. Why do people keep spreading that stupid line. I took my 2 riggers in and told them that i was the 3rd or maybe 4th owner and they said it did not matter. Scotty fixes Scotty. Period.Trust the wealth of experience on this site, Scotty will fix their downriggers for life, just mention that you are the original owner and all’s good. They stand behind their product and have done so for me, no complaints so far.
That’s what the Scotty warranty cards claim. but yes they fix anythingYou do not have to be the original owner. Why do people keep spreading that stupid line. I took my 2 riggers in and told them that i was the 3rd or maybe 4th owner and they said it did not matter. Scotty fixes Scotty. Period.
I got Scotty 1106’s off old lodge I worked at... probably 10 years old at least with thousands of hours and they’ve never asked anything and have replaced parts free(shipping included). They’ll sort you out.Well I’m not the original purchaser so won’t be covered.
