Title: Penn 113H2
Post by: Boatzilla on January 02, 2015, 07:26:20 PM
Hello Alan,
I am trying to solve a problem I am having with the Penn 113H2 reel.
I manufacture, repair and sell the Precision Auto Reel drive system and the Penn 113H US version was very popular.
When Penn changed to a male thread on the bridge sleeve, I immediately started having issues with my drive system shearing off this male thread.
Failure rate was approximately 60-70%.
I stopped offering the 113H2 reel due to this issue.
Do you know of anyone offering a replacement sleeve in stainless steel that would fit this application?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Dave

we could make one, not sure it would be cost effective!

The 113h &hl gear sleeve will fit in place of the h2 sleeve. Then you can use h & hl parts on the outside of the reel.   RUDY

Thank you for the sleeve changeout idea. I tried changing the entire bridge assembly without success.

I will try changing out just the sleeve.

Thank you

Dave
