Hello folks,
Having an issue with an hp downrigger counter. Something in the way the counter interacts with the dr itself isnt working. Ive swapped the counter+lid to another hp rigger and it works fine there, so its obv not the counter itself. Ive taken the dr apart and all the components seem to be there as far as i can tell.
The issue is the counter sits on 0ft and never budges. I assume these counters function on magnetism but im not actually sure. The dr im having issues with is spooled with steel cable (gross), and the other dr was as well before i respooled with braid (much better). Even before respooling both lids worked on the functional dr. This leads me to believe a component is missing to trigger the magnetic field. Anybody have any ideas?
To complicate things further, im at a very remote location essentially by myself (gf has 0 downrigger knowledge) so taking it in for servicing isnt an option rn. I do have access to a downrigger boneyard of sorts, so theres a chance i can find a replacement part if i can pinpoint the problem.
Typing this from my phone so my apologies if there are any bad words, typing downrigger with fat fingers is always a risky proposition.
Thanks in advance,
