Like Salty I just clean them once or twice a year if just boat use.
If I use in surf then I break them down after trip and clean them well.
That sand will just tear up a reel quick acts like an abrasive.
Got ultrasonic cleaner and clean them up, lube & grease what needs lubed, and
put back together.
Again I use to do reel repair back in days when red 5000 ambassador, bantam reel, or daiwa PT 33 was the it reels.
To make them smooth you had to lap the gears with tooth paste to really make them scream.
