okuma makaira 50 II rebuild - 2/16/2010

i do not believe so.  you would have to manually go through the schematics and find all the different parts numbers, one at a time, and order them. 

there are differences.  there is certainly a lower gear ratio for the low gear.  there might even be a heavier drive shaft.  i have the older gold plain version of the makaira 50 and it works just fine.  honestly, i think that it would not be worth the trouble. 

Unfortunately in Europe the SEA Mk50II is not imported, damn it !!! I am obliged to buy the MK50II Gold ... do you recommend this reel to me? is the mechanics good?

i've had one since they first came out.  been very happy.  you'll be fine.  go for it!!!!

regarding the MK-20/30 reel popping out of gear. the service tech lead said he would change out key numbers, 517, 204-3, 507-21 and both sets of pinion and drive gears.
