ABSTRACT:
A downrigger UP stop for powered downriggers used primarily in fishing in which a nonconductive link is located in a cable line to the weight, mass or cannonball. A flow of current through the cable, water and boat is sensed by a sensing control circuit and the sensing of water when the circuit is directed to lift the cable functions until the nonconductive link breaks that continuity. The winch then stops and in a selected position by the fisherman. On dropping the weight again into the water, the atuomatic UP stop is in operating control. The UP motion can always be manually stopped by energizing the DOWN button and it can be restarted for automatic ascent.
