Scotty #1101 Depthpower Electric Downrigger — 30in Boom

Scotty #1101 Depthpower Electric Downrigger

On the water, the right downrigger can make the difference between a calm, rewarding day and a day spent fighting tangled lines. The Scotty Depthpower is built with that balance in mind. The 30 inch stainless steel boom provides solid reach without adding unnecessary weight, and the 1.25 inch diameter gives stiffness you can feel when you lift a heavier lure. The depth counter is spray protected to resist spray and splashes, helping you read depth accurately even in rough chop.

The electric mechanism offers adjustable lift speed, with measurable performance: it can lift 7 lb weights at up to 235 feet per minute or pull 15 lb weights at up to 203 feet per minute. These rates give you options for different lures and fishing styles, from light to mid weight gear. The system uses a Kevlar drive belt from Optibelt, paired with a positive-drive counter, to help maintain consistent performance through long sessions. A multi-position auto-stop helps you set the line drop to the depth you want, with a safety margin, and the unit has the lowest amp draw among many comparators, reducing battery drain on longer trips.
