Chum Churn
Operating Instructions
Filling:
1. To fill the "Chum Churn", simply remove the filler cap and
hang the unit outside of the boat, or just stand it up on the deck of the
boat. By holding on to the shaft or the hook, this will retract the
blades in the top portion of the body, so that blades will be out of the
way for the filling process.
2. Next, you should fill the unit about two-thirds of the way full. You
can use squid,
crabs, shrimp, and whole fish up to 12" long. We recommend using
whole Menhaden,
etc.. The softer the fish is, the easier it is to pump the unit.
Operating:
1. By holding onto the hook alone, submerge the unit into the water. Start
pumping on
the shaft vigorously, this will start the flow of chum. ( This can be done
with one hand ) At the same time, the splashing and thrashing that you are
creating in the water attracts fish by sound.
2. The size of the chum slick you desire is determined by the number of
times you pump on the shaft. The more you pump on the shaft, the bigger
the slick.
3. Once you have started the chum slick, simply set the hook in the rod
holder or hang
the hook over the gunwale of the boat. At this point, the chum will still
be submerged in
the water, doing it's job. When the flow of chum starts to slow down,
simply pump on the shaft a few times to get it flowing, again
( Make sure you bring the Chum Churn back inside of
the boat before you leave for another destination or the Chum Churn could
be damaged!)
Clean Up:
1. Remove the unit from the water, holding it outside the boat for a few
seconds to
drain. Remove the quick release pin at the bottom of the shaft,
while the unit is in the bottom of the boat, so that you are sure you do
not drop any of the parts overboard. Next, remove the spring and the
washer, and unscrew the bottom cap.
2. Holding on to the hook, hang the Chum Churn back overboard and submerge
it into the water and pull it right back out. The water should pull
all of the waste out for you and the remaining chum in the unit
should fall out with ease. The body will remain on the shaft because the
blades will retain it in place. You should not pump the Chum Churn at this
time because the bottom cap is off , the blades will have a tendency to
hit the body of the unit. This could damage the body.
3. Replace the cap, washer, spring, and the quick release pin. It's as
easy as that! The whole clean up process should not take more than
two minutes.
4. If you happen to loose the spring and/or the quick
release pin on the bottom of the Chum Churn, do not continue to use
it. You should replace these parts immediately. If you do not
replace them, the blades will bottom out and will break the Chum
Churn body. This is not covered under warranty.
