DaveT63 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Will the 7:1 gears from a Core 51Mg7 or Curado 201E7 fit in a Chronarch 51E? And is the difference between the original 6.4:1 gears and the 7:1 worth it if I can? Thanks, Dave Quote
The Next KVD Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Yup, the core 51 gears will fit. may need the drag washer as well. you will go from 25ipt to 28ipt. 1 Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I did the same swap with my 50E through DVT. It was a great modification!! Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted January 6, 2017 Super User Posted January 6, 2017 A gear set from a 51 series reel will be fine however you can't use a 200 sized reel. You may able to source the 7:7.1 gears from the JDM Brenious in Japan. I have used both of the above gear speed upgrades with no problem. Quote

Thanks, Dave I don't know what the literature claims, but my Chronarch 51e consistently moves 22.5 ipt with about 30' of line out. I've checked it several times. oe Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 6, 2017 Super User Posted January 6, 2017 Japan Tackle had the kit for the 7.7:1 conversion but presently out of stock... Quote

Out of stock for right hand, lefties are still in stock. Anyone know how much more line the 7.7:1 gears will take in over the 7.0:1? Quote

smr913 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Just did this with my curado 50e. You need the main gear, pinion gear, and drag washer from a core 51mg7. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 The core parts should still be available right from Shimano Quote

Super User iabass8 Posted January 7, 2017 Super User Posted January 7, 2017 Order them from Brian at the TackleTrap. Parts are available on their site. Cheaper than shimano and use code TT10 for a discount, too. Quote
