I hear you loud and clear I got a great deal in this due to immense boat rash so it needed to be done. Otherwise I too would have left it stock.

I acutally took all the paint off and with a citrus stripper and used devcon epoxy and there is not lip from the main of the reel to the side plates worked out pretty well. I couldnt say it would work on every reel but it did on this one and i know it will last a long time.
