Product Description
Fin-Nor CM324-03 Gear Side Cover Assembly | Marquesa MA40TP Replacement
The Fin-Nor CM324-03 Gear Side Cover Assembly is a genuine factory replacement component designed for the specialized Marquesa Pelagic (MA40TP) series. This assembly serves as the critical housing for the reel’s high-speed drive train and high-performance lever drag system, providing the structural rigidity required for high-speed trolling and targeting fast pelagic species like sailfish and wahoo.
Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the CM324-03 is engineered to maintain perfect gear alignment even under the extreme torque and high-speed runs typical of pelagic angling. Replacing a side cover that has suffered from internal wear, salt pitting, or impact damage is essential for ensuring smooth cranking and a reliable drag curve.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To maintain the high-speed performance and saltwater resistance of your Marquesa Pelagic reel, we highly recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during assembly:
-
Internal Gear Housing: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main drive gear and pinion. This grease uses "polarization" technology to stay bonded to the teeth during high-speed retrieves, preventing wear and salt crystallization.
-
Lever Drag & Cam: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the drag cam and lever pivot points. This ensures a smooth, non-stick drag transition, which is critical when using light-line settings for pelagic species.
-
Bearing Protection: Treat the bearings within the gear side cover with Deuthlon Cast Lube. This ultra-low friction oil provides a superior barrier against salt spray while maintaining the high-speed retrieval capabilities the Marquesa TP series is known for.
Deuthlon’s advanced synthetic technology is specifically formulated for high-torque, high-heat environments where standard marine lubricants often fail.
