John you might be able to upgrade your walkers and for less than two hundred dollars each.You could turn your manuals into electrics.I belive that was the last quote I got from them. I have the striper manual I was going to upgrade to electrics but didn't have the $$ to do it but this might be an option for you and to save a little $$ the guys name is Neil wilson Phone # 269-673-7442 there is a time difference they are out of Mi.He is a real nice guy to deal with He said he rebuilds them to brand new condition.Just a thought.Good luck.
I too have walker downriggers (electric) and I love them. I sent mine back to have them fixed by Neil (the reason I had to have them fixed was no fault of the downrigger. they are faster than the cannons and the bigjons. mine are guaranteed for life, (had to pay an additional $10.00 but well worth it. you might want to give NEIL a call and have him make your manuals to electric and see if he will gaurantee them for life as well. (all he can do is tell you know) good luck
Forry
