Studio Ocean Mark Drag System Rebuild - Better than Shimano Stella drag system

<< < (6/6)

Brandon Khoo:
On our trip to Bugatti Reef last month, a couple of guys found that their SOM NL spools would only wind down to about 8kg of drag. I don't think anyone actually ended up taking their drags apart but clearly, something went wrong with them. I wonder whether this might hv been caused by water getting into he drag system.

Les Maunder:
Hi Brandon

My last SOM NL 16000 delivered was missing the teflon washer from under the Northbridge Ring (image 10 in Enoch's original post). This would decrease the amount of pressure that could be applied to the drag through the drag knob.

I replaced the teflon washer with a similar thickness carbon washer and all has been well.


Cheers


Les
