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
