Fin Nor Marquesa MA20II Twin Speed

[rustyreel]

Hi

I have just taken delivery of the above reel and whilst I love the feel and the look, I know that I am not going to be able to live with the annoying sound of the ratchet every time I crank the handle.

None of the reviews I read prior to purchase flagged this issue but I know its going to drive me and my fellow anglers crazy.

I am struggling to find a detailed video or series of instructions as to how to remove the two offending ratchets, does anyone have any useful advice or links which would assist please. Don't want to force anything if I am to strip the reel down and want to make sure I can get it all back together again!!!!

Thanks Gregor..

I believe that clicking dog is the only way to stop the reel backwards on you. I do not see an anti reverse bearing listed on the parts list.

Here is a schematic.
