    Mike, up until recently I used IPA. Somewhere I ran across a suggestion to use acetone. I find it does a better job on the reel seat inserts. I still use IPA everywhere else

    I learned how to build rods several years ago. I can build a rod that is equivalent, or IMO better than an NRX, for about 300 CAD (Canadian dollars). An NRX is 900 CAD. However, if I were still...

    I would order the insert and epoxy it in. It is a bit tricky though cleaning the epoxy from the openings on the seat. I use acetone. Then just use tape arbors. It will look really nice.

    Jeff, as mentioned above, I would also use a piece of composite instead of wood. No worries with rot later on. To fasten, I have used a good 2 part epoxy (permanent though). BCB uses a product...

    Agree. If you really want to spoil yourself, spend a bit more than 300 and look at the Zillions. The Tatula SV LE (limited edition) is less than the Zillion, not quite as good, but equivalent to the...

    First thing to do in that scenario is to check that fuse. If good, do a bank swap and see if the problem follows the charging bank or the battery.

    It’s a good battery. I used one in one of my rigs for several years. Peel off the labels to expose the caps so you can monitor the water level. It is not really a maintenance free battery if you...

    That would be my best guess too. Can’t see a roller scratching like that. The rollers rub, with residue cleanable with acetone, but they don’t scratch. Loading off centre, just once, each side,...
