I've PM'd it to you.....

As a Kaama owner for nearly 25 years (and still love them) I will tell you to pick up parts wherever and whenever they come up! All the bearings and seals can be had at the local bearing house. The ujoint and related stuff is spicer. A good/specialty machine shop can do all the shafts, even the prop shaft, but material and machines necessary make it Very, very expensive, You can even have gears made, although I haven't needed them but once(matter of fact I think I got Archer's last +13% set?) I service mine regularly and rebuild every 2-3 years, and apart from an episode of ruining a prop seal, trashing a bearing and loosing the gear (that's why I got Archer's last gear set) several years ago, they have been bulletproof.

Housings are the thing to pick up whenever you can. I have the set on the boat and collected an entire working set of drives with transmissions (right down to the cavitation plates), that I keep in storage for spare if needed. I thought Conner Marine contemplated building them again.........Archer???

Hi, Im thinking of looking at a 85 302 Kaama. It has the original Kaama 454's 450hp. What should I be looking for on the drives or on the boat before I buy it

Like many other drives there's not alot "outside" that will tell you much. If the drives are not corroded, have the cavitation plates, spin smoothly when you turn them by hand (Move drives side to side), no leaks from shafts or trim cylinders, boots aren't cracked or have holes in them, lower unit lube is decent, props shafts do not wiggle, then likely your ok. The only super critical parts of these things are the housings and the gears. Gears are Casale, but they have a metric spline unique to Kaamas, so Vdrive gears won't work.

Everything else can be sourced from bearing vendors, or made by a well equipped machine shop. ALL the u-joints and drive plates are off the shelf Spicer stuff. Super easy to rebuild and maintain. Keep up the maintenance and boots and they're bulletproof.
