I just installed my new Scotty high Performance 2106 Electric Downrigger and tested it in the garage - works fine - except ...... the shuttle thingy where the braided line (and plastic stop beads) pass through right before the spool seems loose ..... is that normal?

I can't really test the auto stop feature because I can't get enough line/weight over the side of the boat as the floor of the garage is only like 5-6 feet to the downrigger ...... and I'd be pretty nervous to put the auto stop switch to that position and "test it" with a weight (because if it doesn't work it could cause damage to the rigger).

This thing retrieves at 300 ft per min and that is crazy fast. My reflexes are fast - I'm just not sure I want to test my reflexes on my brand new toy.

Is that shuttle thing supposed to be loose?

There were no instructions on the book to indicate tightening it down or adjusting it.
