How is the black box connected to the cable?
A sleeve over the downrigger wire is connected to a wire which runs to the Black Box. By altering the rate at which electrons are transmitted from the surface of the downrigger line to the Box, the Black Box modifies the charge around the entire length of the cable.
What kind of charge does a black box have?
The Black Box The electricity generated in electrolysis puts a natural charge on your vessel. When using a downrigger, the reaction between your wire and your zinc anodes will normally generate about .8 volts (in saltwater). This positive charge on your downrigger wire has been known to attract fish.
What’s the difference between positive and negative cables?
Think of these cables as the large rivers that carry the water from the reservoir into a city’s water main system. The negative cable is normally black, and the positive cable is normally red.
How does the Black Box work on a fishing boat?
If the downrigger is insulated, natural electrolysis between the stainless steel downrigger cable and the metals of the boat will create a positive charge. The fisherman can then control and stabilize this charge to the ideal voltage by using the Black Box.

Which is battery cable is positive ( white or black )?
Which battery cable is positive (White or Black) When black and white are together, black is positive. When black and red are together, red is positive. When red and white are together, red is positive. White is ALMOST never positive in an RV. Hope that helps. Please get back to me if you need more on this as follow ups are included in our fee.
