hello, i have a daiwa saltist 20h that i took apart last night, and while putting it back together, i couldn't remember for the life of me which way the very top key washer sat on the drag stack. one side of the washer is perfectly flat, and the other side has a shallow, centered circular indentation (NOT a dome) with a radius that is roughly a third of the radius of the whole washer. should this indentation be face down or face up? i feel like it should be face down because this would more evenly distribute the drag pressure to the outer circumference of the washers, and this is good for some reason according to the reel maintenance gods...
i can't find the part number at the moment, but just to be clear, it is the square-hole metal washer that sits at the very top of the drag stack.
thanks for any help!!
I know of the washer you are speaking of, but am not sure on the facing of the indentation.
The washer shall be on the stack as:

ah, thank you for the quick reply.
however, the washer looks more like this:
_______________ _________________
l l_______________l l ------> side with indentation
l________________________________________________l -----> flat side
that is what a cross section of the single washer in question would look like. when sitting on the drag stack, should the indentation side be up (as i have drawn it) or should the flat side be up?
thanks again.
the side with the indentation would generally be faced down. this provides pressure on the outer portion of the drag washers, where all the meat is.
got it. thank you! :D
