Hooker Electric FAQs & Useful Tips
How many amps does the Hooker Electric draw under full power?
How do I switch to manual mode?
You can still reel-in the fish manually as the Hooker Electric retains all the mechanical component of the handle.
What gauge wire is required to power the Hooker Electric reel?
From the reel to the plug it needs to be 10-gauge at 12-feet long. Should a longer cable be needed then it requires at least 8-gauge wire up to 15 extra feet, and 6-gauge wire up to 30 extra feet.
Does the counter on my Hooker Electric count metres of line out?
The counter on your Hooker Electric counts revolutions of the reel spool as opposed to the metres of line out.
WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
***Use a minimum of 8-gauge tinned wire (6 is recommended), between the battery and female plug***
We recommend using a separate deep cycle battery, to ensure you don’t deplete your boat battery while fishing.
PLUG RECOMMENDATIONS
Hubble 30A 28VDC, male end- HBL328DCP, female end- HBL328DCR
