Thanks for posting. Its the same procedure for the Tanacom 1000 and Bull 1000.

Also the main shaft may look stainless steel but its chromed brass.

Hi Eric, great work, nice detailing step By step, However ,you did not mention anything about the electric motor, did you replace any brushes in it, did the armature get some attention, not meaning to nock you, I was great full that you started this post, I also placed, a elbow on my leed right next to the reel, then fixed the leed to the rod, as a permanent structure, so the leed was not bending in the one area, all the time, I will try to get some photos, the original leed, were it sticks out it tends to bend over the rail next to the rod holder & so on, cheers & thanks Don.

Hi Eric, I have spent almost one hour trying to manage photobucket, so keep fingers crossed, it works, this photo of our Tanacom 1000, should show how I have, soldered a right angle on to the cord, then fixed the cord to the bottom of the rod, it looks a bit crude, but the cord is much flexible, and does not break, like the original shape cords do, the cord actually broke on me, and Diawa wanted it back before they would send me another one, so Ikept it, and forwent the warranty so I could reconstruct it. 2 years on & it is still going good, I have another picture of it, if this one comes through okay I will send the other one, I have painted some liquid insulation on it for more protection, cheers Don

This is another view of the reel, yes the cord stay connected to the reel, but is not much inconvenience, I also run the reel on small motor quad bike batteries, I get about 12 hours of constant, work out of the reel, that is equal to about 4 days fishing, before I recharge, it, cheers Don.

I did not service the motor. I did inspect it and felt that it was ok. While the reel was submerged, there was no evidence of water intrusion into the reel.

Regards,
Eric

Thanks Eric for the write up and thanks Don for your additional comments. Interesting that it is only a single dog...

I agree it was a great write up.
I have a 1000 and although they are pretty tough little electric reels, there is a lot of plastic and having a single dog might act as a fail safe. I'd rather have the dog fail than the rest of the reel blowing up.

Yes Eric it is a great right up well done, I am sorry the photos I posted turned out the same, not supposed to be, photo bucket game me all sorts of trouble, I don't think I will go back their, yes best the dog gives before the reel, the 1000 was for the wife, Patrica, she does well with it, often out fishes me, cheers Don.

Don't worry about that single dog. I have 4 Tanacom Bull 1000's, 2 Tanacom 1000,s and a Tanacom 750.

The 750 serves as a dredge, teaser, reel and sometimes a kite reel.

We have had the reels locked down on Snowy Grouper and Golden Tilefish.

Never a problem with the old fashioned dog.

Roger that, thanks for the added info. I may need to get one of these down the road. It sure would help on the way up from the depths...there are a mess of them on the head boats up here out of NJ...depending on the trip it's every other or every third fisherman with one. Funny that the 'sound' of fishing has changed...before it was diesel vibrations and guys grunting...now its diesel sounds and 'wwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' as the guys hit there Tanacom levers

If the main shaft ever breaks you will halve to break it down even further pulling the motor and wiring out.

It is needed to get to the back of the main shaft to remove the E clip. Its just like any other reel but takes a lot of work to get to.

Thanks for the pictures of your Bull teardown, you are right, theres a lot of parts. I,m glad you got it back together, and took the time to share some info. I,m goinna zip tie my cords now to give the connector some strain relief...
On the lighter side last year my brother and a friend were fishing a small outboard on a skiff and the motor clamp was loose and the motor (6hp) fell off the back into the water, the gas hose kept it from dissappearing, so they lifted it back up and salvaged a good bitchfest from their wives!

Some guys are lucky!
