Thank you for the video. The information that Minnkota puts online does not show this as a lift assist. The wire you attached to the coiled spring made it simple to install. Minnkota says you need a special tool to install that. It looks like a simple wire like you used will do it. Thanks

Friend, I just watched your video, and you did a great job. Only thing I would suggest is never take it apart. I have had to replace my collar several times because they are brittle, and I always remove the head and then just slide the shaft out after removing the collar below that holds the spring assist to the shaft head. And yes, that spiring assist is a life saver. anyone that knows how heavy that motor is would agree.... Great job though!!!

That's what youtube was about helping others and having others help you by pointing out what could have been done to make it easier or better. Yes, it definitely is a life saver. Thanks again.

Hi. Regarding our recent chat about bail-less Centaure reels, I've seen quite a few sawed-off conversions, but this one looks like it could be the real deal, as the bail swing mechanism appears to be absent. I'm inclined to think that a sawed off might not ber that efficient as the roller end of the arm is very tight to the spool in the closed position. What do yo think? Regards. Raymondo.
@awhaletale 22 күн бұрын
Hi Raymondo, That would be awesome if it is the real deal. I personally haven't seen one but would imagine there may be some out there. I hope it is the real deal, either way you are going to have a blast fishing it. Feel free to share a picture, I truly enjoy fishing bail-less reels. Best Wishes, Ed

Hi again. Centaures are beautiful reels, and according to some old advertising sheets I've seen on line, they were also available bail-less. I've not seen one, not a real one anyway, but what do you think a bail-less conversion would turn out like? I'm asking because I do love occasionally fishing my vintage reels, but am a bail-less convert and there's no going back now. Raymondo. Ps. I also like the Spanish 'Sagarra' reels. Do you know of them?
@awhaletale Ай бұрын
The Centaurs have an amazing shape. I agree, they look awesome and they remind me of the Van Staal. I had no idea they made them bail-less. I have only seen them in half-bail. I think a conversion would look and function great. The Luxor I am working on now was missing the bail, it had been cut off and sealed, so I will be making that bail-less. Most of my reels now are either half-bail or bail-less. I started fishing with yoyos when I was a kid and they remind me of that style of fishing where you have more control of the line. I missed a Sagarra in an auction once, they are really nice-- I do have a bail-less AMSA Super Casting Spanish reel I have not been able to find any information on, but it is in beautiful shape, one of my favorites, and I probably won't be refinishing that one, but I will share it when I take it out fishing. As far as converting, I always think you should do things the way you like them, if it works for you, go for it--it's all that matters. Thanks again, Best Wishes!

Hi. Great video, I just subscribed and cant wait to see all your other ones. I love vintage Ru reels, and Centaures, Luxor/Cracks etc.. you do them a great service in restoring them. I can fix them and get them going good, but the finishing job you do is something special. Regards. Raymondo.

Hi, Many thanks, I appreciate it! It's awesome to know that other people value the simplicity, beauty, and incredible durability of these vintage reels and great to hear you like fixing them as well. I will be uploading some more videos soon--just finishing a Monti Super video now that I will try to upload tonight and working on a Luxor next. Thanks again for commenting & subscribing!

I saw from the description that you are aware that anodizing can be stripped with sodium hydroxide, so I'm surprised you went with mechanical removal instead. Sodium hydroxide would have stripped the finish in a minute or two, even in all the little nooks and crannies, while barely affecting the underlying aluminum.
@awhaletale 2 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching. You are 100% correct. The chemical removal would have been much easier and quicker. The reason I chose this route was because the reel with its age had lots of scrapes, nicks, and scratches, as well as many imperfections from mold that I figured would show if I didn't take it to a smooth finish by buffing when I gave it the final polish. By sanding the whole reel with the buffing discs as was able to see as went along how smooth it was becoming due to color difference between the sanded parts and anodized. But again, you are right. If it were a cleaner reel, your method would have been the way to go. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. 👍 Best Wishes

I'm so glad I found this video. You idea is brilliant. I am dealing with the same problem: Delamination on my runabout floor. Water is between the layers, so I figured I'd have to cut out the bad, dry everything, then re-lay a traditional fiber and resin combo. I was JUST about to order the glass and resin when I ran across your video. If it works for me, it'll not only save me money, it'll save me a lot of time and hard work! PS Love the blue tape idea. And drilling the Glue applicator!
@awhaletale 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you found it helpful. The gorilla glue forms a foam when exposed to the moisture that is rock solid and waterproof. If you do a section and find the section next to it is soft, just keep applying blue tape and drilling and filling that new section. Patching those small holes is a breeze, and it becomes super strong. Just make sure you use the classic gorilla original glue. Thanks again for your comments. I really appreciate it. Best Wishes
