Product Description
Fin-Nor CM324-02 Gear Side Cover Assembly | Marquesa MA50T Replacement
The Fin-Nor CM324-02 Gear Side Cover Assembly is a genuine factory replacement component designed for the high-performance Marquesa series. As the primary housing for the reel’s internal drive train and lever drag mechanism, this assembly is critical for maintaining the precision alignment and structural integrity of your reel under heavy saltwater loads.
Crafted from machined 6061-T6 aluminum and treated with a corrosion-resistant finish, this gear-side plate protects the high-speed gearing and oversized drag system. Replacing a side cover that has suffered from impact damage, salt pitting, or internal wear is vital to ensure smooth cranking and reliable drag engagement when targeting fast-moving pelagic species.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To maximize the lifespan of your Marquesa MA50T and ensure professional-grade operation, we strongly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during the reassembly of the side cover:
-
Internal Gear Housing: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main drive gear and pinion. Its specialized formula stays bonded to metal surfaces under high torque, providing a superior barrier against salt crystallization and heat.
-
Lever Drag & Cam: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the drag cam and lever pivot points. This ensures a smooth, progressive drag transition and prevents the lever from becoming "sticky" due to salt spray.
-
Handle Shaft Bearings: Treat the bearings within the gear side cover with Deuthlon Cast Lube. This ultra-low friction oil protects against corrosion while maintaining the high-speed retrieval performance the Marquesa is known for.
Deuthlon’s advanced synthetic technology is specifically designed for high-performance saltwater reels, offering protection that standard marine greases cannot match.
