Product Description
Fin-Nor AM324-02 Gear Side Cover Assembly | Marquesa MA30TP Replacement
The Fin-Nor AM324-02 Gear Side Cover Assembly is a genuine factory replacement component designed specifically for the Marquesa Pelagic (MA30TP) series. This assembly functions as the structural housing for the reel's high-speed drive train and specialized lever drag system, providing the rigidity and precision required for competitive pelagic angling and high-speed trolling.
Machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the AM324-02 is engineered to maintain perfect gear alignment under the intense torque generated by fast-moving species like wahoo, tuna, and sailfish. Replacing the side cover is essential if the original housing shows signs of bearing seat wear, salt-induced pitting, or structural damage, as these issues can lead to gear binding and inconsistent drag performance.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To ensure the high-speed performance and longevity of your Marquesa Pelagic reel, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during the installation of this side cover assembly:
-
High-Speed Gearing: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main drive gear and pinion. This grease features "polarization" technology that keeps the lubricant bonded to the gear teeth during high-speed runs, preventing heat buildup and metal-on-metal wear.
-
Lever Drag & Cam: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the drag cam and lever pivot points. This ensures a smooth, progressive drag ramp, which is vital for preventing line breakage during the initial strike.
-
Drive Train Bearings: Treat the bearings housed within the gear side cover with Deuthlon Cast Lube. This ultra-low friction oil provides a superior protective barrier against salt crystallization without compromising the reel's retrieval speed.
Deuthlon’s advanced synthetic formulas are specifically designed to handle the high-torque and high-heat environments that Fin-Nor Pelagic reels are built to dominate.
