was given a scotty electric downrigger and from comparing it to the newer models there are a couple dif things to it; red brake handle,white wire wheel,30" to 48" SS boom,2 belts,lighter-plug style plug and 1 brass round plate on the inside above the 3 asbestos brake shoes rather than the newer 2 stainless flat plates.

Tried taking off the old wire and it broke off every 20' and into multiple pieces from rust. Other than that, there was not any other rust any where else.

I cannot figure out the year of this and seems no one has any replacement parts especially the brass round flat plate. too late to call sportco or scotty, will try to call tomorrow, we'll see. thanks
