Description: Listed for sale here is a pair of Big Jon Electric Downriggers from 1983 that are being sold for repair or for parts.Model No. BJ 2000 The booms are in good condition and include the 5 spoked tip assy. From end to end it's about 27".The aluminum bases are in good shape and the mounting holes measure about 3 1/4" apart on center.One of the downriggers includes what looks like one part of a swivel base. The reels are loaded with a braided metal line of some kind and can be locked down with the screw down knob. As you'll see in the included video, when the toggle switches are engaged, the breakers trip.These downriggers are equipped with 5 amp breakers. The casing looks like lubricant or some other brownish substance has leaked a little bit.I am not familiar enough with these to understand exactly what the issue is. Perhaps the motors needs replacing, maybe the load on the line isn't enough and the power trips the breaker.Again, I can't tell you for sure. I tried adding some weight to the line and hit the toggle switch but the break tripped anyway. In any case they are 40 years old. It's likely that one or more electrical componant simply failed from use and age. If anything, the downriggers seem like they might work well if they could be converted to manual use. Sold as is!
