Product Description
Fin-Nor EA024-01 Gear Side Cover | Santiago ST50 Replacement
The Fin-Nor EA024-01 Gear Side Cover is a precision-machined replacement part for the legendary Santiago big-game trolling series. As the housing for the main drive train and lever drag mechanism, this side cover is essential for maintaining the alignment and protection of the reel’s internal gearing.
Crafted from high-grade aluminum and finished with a durable gold anodization, the EA024-01 is built to endure the extreme environments of offshore fishing. Replacing a side cover that has suffered from salt corrosion, structural impacts, or internal wear is vital to ensure the smooth operation of the two-speed shifting mechanism and the integrity of the dual-drag system.

Recommended Maintenance: Deuthlon Lubrication
To ensure the high-torque components inside the EA024-01 side cover operate flawlessly and remain protected from saltwater intrusion, we recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Gear Train Protection: Apply Deuthlon Fishing Reel Gear Grease to the main and pinion gears. This grease is formulated with "polarization" technology to stay bonded to the metal under high heat and heavy pressure, preventing wear during long battles.
-
Shifting Mechanism: Use Deuthlon Semi-Fluid Grease on the two-speed shifting components. It provides a smooth, reliable transition between high and low gears while resisting salt crystallization.
-
Corrosion Barrier: Lightly coat the interior of the side cover and the mating surfaces with Deuthlon Cast Lube to provide a long-lasting protective barrier against the corrosive effects of salt air.
Deuthlon’s advanced synthetic technology is specifically designed for the high-load, heavy-cranking environment of a Santiago 50, outperforming standard marine lubricants.
