The Cannon Downrigger 9400070 HDW SPRING DOG is a crucial replacement part for maintaining the proper function of your Cannon downrigger. This small but essential component, often referred to as a ratchet dog spring, is responsible for engaging the ratchet mechanism within the downrigger's reel. This engagement prevents the spool from turning backward, ensuring that your downrigger holds the set depth and doesn't release the line unintentionally.
Made from durable materials, the 9400070 Spring Dog is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment and the repetitive stress of engaging and disengaging the ratchet. If you notice that your downrigger handle is slipping or not holding its position, a worn or broken spring dog is a likely culprit. Replacing it with a genuine Cannon part ensures compatibility and restores the downrigger's reliable performance.
The Cannon 9400070 HDW SPRING DOG is a versatile part that fits a wide range of Cannon downriggers, both manual and electric. It is a common component in many of their most popular models. While it is always best to check your downrigger's specific parts diagram or manual, this spring dog is known to be compatible with the following series:
Easi-Troll Models: Fits many of the pre-2006 Easi-Troll models.
Uni-Troll Models: Compatible with various Uni-Troll downriggers.
And many other Cannon Downriggers.
Note: To ensure you are ordering the correct part, it is always recommended to verify the part number with your downrigger's manual or by locating the serial and model number on the unit itself. You can find this information on an adhesive label on your downrigger. This will allow you to look up the exact parts diagram for your specific model and confirm compatibility.
