SQL12/SQL15 Squall Star Drag

Our schematics have been updated to reflect small changes (mostly typos) based on Penn's Rev. 3 of the schematics


The only real change that I can see is still likely a typo correction. Key #46 was originally listed as 46-4300 (1183567) and is now listed as 46A-4300 (1183585), and I have confirmed that 46A-4300 is the correct screw for the side plate.

An older note that was already updated in Rev. 2, but I will also mention it here just for reference: On Rev. 0 of these schematics, there was key #39, part #39-525mag2
As of Rev. 2, this part is renumbered key #32A and part #32-310

16VS, 16VSX revisions

Penn has made enough revisions to the 16VS and 16VSX reels that they split the schematics into a BEFORE and AFTER serial #J100001. Both sets of schematics and the newer parts are now available in our system.

SS Series Schematics 4400SS, 4500SS, 5500SS

SS Series Schematics 4400SS, 4500SS, 5500SS have been revised to show the different versions and their parts on the drawing and the parts list. Previously, these were only noted in our catalog as a stop & read notice. Having the information in the schematic will hopefully make it easier to reference and identify.

CV Series Guide - Photo Walk-Thru

I've added to the CV Series Guide in our Reel Repair Guide section of the Penn Parts Dept.. It is now a full walk-thru that should help with repair for most of the CV reels. I may add a few more images to it just to show some of the variations from reel to reel that are not currenlty shown.

New Able 7 Catalog Known Issues and Troubleshooting

Shipping rates not displaying

Customers who are still experiancing the shipping method error, please be patient while we try to figure this one out.

Item Weights: There is an issue where ultra-light items, such as washers and springs, are so light in weight that USPS/UPS are not registering them and will not return shipping rates. We are currently working on a solution to this problem. UPDATE: We found a fix for this, so basic shipping rates should display for lightweight items now. UPS may not display but USPS will.

USPS Timout: If the USPS system fails to respond promptly it will cause ours to time out. The time out causes UPS rates to not load either. If you don't see USPS or any rates at all, try refreshing the browser or give it a few minutes and try to checkout again.

Territories: US territories are currently only displaying USPS rates (PR, GU, VI, MP, AS, FM, MH). Make sure that you format your address as "PR, United States" etc. We are working on a solution that will also all UPS ptions to display, but at least we reversed the problem so that the cheaper USPS rates are displaying and are displaying for all the provinces listed.

Countries: There are some countries that we do NOT ship to. See the list in the Shipping FAQ

Old Order(s) Not displaying in My Account screen

There were some problems during the record transfers from the old Able 5 system to the new Able 7 system. The first two attempts lost entire order records in chunks. The last attempt appears to have brought over all the order records, but not all of the records are still connected to the user's profile, so they are in the system, but not displaying in the user account. There is nothing that we can do to correct this, but we still have access to the orders from the admin side if needed.
