Title: Okuma Makaira 130 SEa II Maintenance
Post by: LBSMakaira on July 20, 2025, 09:38:55 PM
Just wanted to post some images from deep maintenance on my Okuma Makaira 130 II Sea (MK-130IISEa) reel in the hopes that it will help others.

Here is the schematic I used:

Great post! Even includes a video for reference.
Impressed with the Okuma engineering, no shortage of washers, bushings and C clips to maybe increase the  smoothness. Nice intricate spring design in the drag plate/washer system.
Was waiting for the spool axel removal and service in the video, but you provided a good picture. Still don't have good grasp on how everything in there works on any LD.
