Title: Daiwa Saltiga 30 watershield to be placed?
Post by: Drisse on June 23, 2021, 12:32:56 PM
Hi there!
I got a disassembled Daiwa Saltiga 30 in to be serviced and reassembled. I found a rubber washer/watershield that I'm not sure were it should be placed. Looked at the Saltiga tutorials here, but can't see that watershield. Guessed where it should be. Right or wrong?

My Saltiga does not have a seal like that.   Unless its a particularly strong piece of plastic/rubber won't it break as you have it when you tighten the drag down?

It looks more like a bush under the clutch lever, but the size is not right.
I obviously don't know, just my thoughts.

Thanks Cor !

I guess it should be placed like I did and then you put the roller clutch inner tube into the IAR bearing so that the watershield lains against the edge of the IAR bearing ? I found a schematic, the only difference is that the reel I got don't have part nr:54 O-ring.

But I think like you say that the watershield can be pressed down when you tighten the drag and cause problem. So maybe just skip the thing ?

That Watershield  (Key No 57) does it not fit in to the collar A (Key no 55) and does collar B (Key no 56) fit in to either one of the two collars (55 or 56).
It is difficult to see from the photos.

From the schematic it sure looks like you have them in the correct order.

A bit of patience and someone will probably come up with the answer.

Is a special Swedish model reel ;D ??? ???

Yes, the watershield 57 fit as you say in collar 55 and then collar 56 fits in collar 55 with the watershield in the middle.

Haha, I don't know if its a special swedish version  ;D

Solved, should be placed as the pictures shows. Mount collar A, fit the sideplate and then press down collar B with the watershield.
