Product Description
Fin-Nor CF324-01 Gear Side Cover Assembly | Marquesa MA20 & MA30T Replacement
The Fin-Nor CF324-01 Gear Side Cover Assembly is a high-precision, factory-original replacement component for the Marquesa series of lever drag reels. As the structural housing for the reel's high-speed drive train and sophisticated lever drag system, this side cover is essential for maintaining the alignment and smooth operation of your tackle.
Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the CF324-01 is designed to withstand the heavy torque generated when jigging or live-baiting for powerful saltwater species. Replacing the side cover assembly is critical if the original part shows signs of salt-induced pitting, structural deformation, or if the bearing seats have become worn, which can lead to gear misalignment and premature failure.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To ensure the high-speed performance and longevity of your Marquesa reel, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during the reinstallation of this side cover assembly:
-
Drive Gearing: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main gear and pinion. This grease is engineered with "polarization" technology to stay attached to the gear teeth even under the high-speed friction and torque typical of the Marquesa series.
-
Lever Drag Mechanism: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the drag cam and the lever pivot points. This ensures a smooth, progressive drag ramp and prevents "stickiness" caused by salt spray and evaporation.
-
Handle & Spool Bearings: Treat the bearings within the side cover with Deuthlon Cast Lube. This ultra-low friction oil provides a superior protective barrier against salt crystallization without slowing down the reel's retrieve speed.
Deuthlon’s synthetic formulas are specifically designed to resist the high-heat and high-salt environments that Fin-Nor reels are built to dominate.
