I posted this in one of the other threads on THT and did not receive any suggestions. Thought perhaps some of the Great Lake guys may help. I purchased the probe and the instructions totally suck. I spoke to Canon and they told me to wrap the downrigger wire around the 3 prong thingy on the probe and then attach the safety catch. I am having a difficult time trying to comprehend that a person just wraps a wire line around these prongs. Any ideas? Thanks. Dwain
