Last, but not least, the SV-1200 features a hardened, corrosion resistant finish and a sealed gear system, keeping maintenance of the SV-1200 to a minimum.

What is the SV-1200 made of?

The SV-1200 Reels are machined from billet aluminum, allowing for precise and sleek styling. Billet aluminum starts as a single piece of material that is machined into the specified shape. Billet is generally accepted as stronger than casting, casting requires extra processes, such as melting and cooling, that can negatively impact the composition of the metal, possibly leaving behind air pockets and inconsistencies, hindering the metal’s strength. After the frame is machined, the exterior is sanded to smooth out any irregularities, and then immersed into a pool of sulfuric acid while a low voltage electrical current is applied in a process called anodizing. This process will result in a coat of aluminum oxide forming on the surface, creating a strong, hard surface that is resistant to corrosion.

What are the Power Requirements?

The LP SV-1200 runs on a 12 Volt direct current system with a maximum capability of 30 Amps, and the unit includes a power cord with a Hubbell 328DCP style plug. A wiring kit will be need to be installed on your boat to power the SV-1200. Melton Tackle carries a couple different wiring kit options, available as an optional add-on below. There is the for a more permanent installation, or the that sports an inline fuse and and ring terminals for easy attachment.

Mounting
