Reel maintenance - really necessary

Finally got around to lubing my reel, a Quantum Boca 50 bought new last summer. Start work on it and water starts dripping out... that's not a good sign... apparently when you drop it in the drink, water gets in and doesn't get back out again... so a quick lube job turned into an all-afternoon teardown, degreasing, drying, relubing and reassembly project. Got it before the corrosion really got going though, just a few blotches.

Running smooth now, and now I know to open it up whenever it gets dunked. Which, with my mad skillz, will be pretty much every time I take it on the kayak.
