Is this also the ones Three se7ens is referring too?

Thanks,

That part number referenced EPDM o-rings, so those are the right ones. 

Viton (as Tom mentioned) will work well too.  But I dont see the extra cost of viton adding any benefit over EPDM for saltwater and sunlight exposure.  Where viton excels is its resistance to a broad range of harsh environments and chemicals, but a reel isnt likely to see much that would degrade EPDM but not viton.

Thanks very much for clearing that up Three se7ens!!!!!

I don't worry much about the sun and salt, it's the oils, lubes, and solvents that degrade o-ring material.
