As Elkantlers said you can get used or even new manual downriggers that will last a long time for not too much money. One would be great for a start two even better and stacking with stacker releases or the Shuttle hawk is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Sinkers and diving sinkers can help but it is harder to know exactly how deep you are. Trial and error and a line counter so you can duplicate what works is an option.
Spend more money on the reels with counters than the rods, they are worth it, you don't need the most expensive but don't buy the cheapest either, you can get good trolling rods very inexpensively.
If you choose electric they are easy to hook up and don't draw that much power so if you have good battery/batteries not a big deal, but yes more costly. With care they will last a long time.
