Look at Alan's TLD tutorials.

You grease the anodized spool to stop corrosion. The spool and drag washer do get wet with saltwater.

Shown are pictures from the boss's tutorial.

Also brush some Cals grease on the threads of the drag cover. It will make disassembly much easier.

Don't see anyone disagreeing with this method on this thread.  Just some discussion on why it is important.

Gosh, golly, gee, maybe I shoulda kept that light colored canvas lookin washer(wasn't it called "Dartainium"?).
Naw, grease and keep the drag cover tight, don't lose that special tool and keep checking under the carbon fiber for spool corrosion.

Dartanium were the brittle black washers that left black crud everywhere.

The TLD used the Titanium nomenclature.
