Bit surprised when I tried googling that there wasn't lots of info on servicing. Just wondering what oil people use on the worm drive. Also will any dialeectic grease do for the electrical couplings?

Any good videos on basic maintenance out there?

Thanks in advance

Thank you also wondering about a spare power lead as mine looks a bit rough. Are the cheapies off AliExpress best avoided or are they ok they are 20% of the cost of anything from retailers here

I can't comment with any experience with respect to electric reel power leads from AliExpress or the like.  I guess you take chances.  I've had mixed success purchasing fishing stuff, mainly jigs and hooks from AliExpress, but nothing as specific as a power lead for a specific brand and model.

I wouldnt be surprised if that china power lead is the same one your being offered for 5 times the price locally .🙂
