Product Description

DAM Quick 110-563 Ratchet - SLS 4

Ensure rock-solid stopping power and reliable hook sets with this genuine DAM Quick Ratchet Gear.

The ratchet gear (commonly called the anti-reverse ratchet or cog) is the toothed component that anchors your reel's anti-reverse system. Located on the pinion shaft beneath the rotor of the DAM Quick SLS 4, this gear locks against the anti-reverse pawl to prevent the handle from spinning backward. Over time, heavy strain from fighting fish can round off or chip the gear teeth, resulting in a slipping anti-reverse or a "skipping" sensation. This authentic replacement part restores the instant, positive lock-up required for effective fishing.

Product Features

• Precision Engagement: Sharply defined teeth ensure the pawl catches instantly, preventing handle slap-back.

• Heavy-Duty Design: Sized and hardened specifically to handle the higher torque loads of the SLS 4 model.

• Exact Fit: Machined to slide perfectly onto the pinion assembly of the SLS 4 without wobble.

• Essential Function: Vital for ensuring the reel stops immediately when the anti-reverse is engaged.

Model Compatibility

This part is verified to fit the following DAM Quick spinning reel models:

• DAM Quick SLS 4

Note: This ratchet is engineered specifically for the SLS 4. It is not interchangeable with the smaller SLS 3 (Part #110-562) or the larger SLS 5 due to differences in shaft diameter and tooth geometry.

Installation Notes

Replacing the ratchet gear requires accessing the top of the pinion assembly.

1. Remove the spool and the rotor nut to lift the rotor assembly off the reel body.

2. Locate the ratchet gear seated on the pinion shaft (often above the main pinion bearing).

3. Remove the old ratchet. Critical Tip: Always inspect the Anti-Reverse Pawl (Part #110-491) when replacing the ratchet. If the gear teeth are worn, the pawl tip is almost certainly damaged as well.

4. Clean the shaft thoroughly to remove old grease and metal shavings.

5. Install the new 110-563 ratchet, ensuring the teeth are oriented correctly to catch the pawl during reverse rotation.

6. Reinstall the rotor and test the anti-reverse function before final tightening.
