The only wear item that is hard to get is the boot. I personally have given up on Archer. I have been told they are working on it for years now. If they ever get them I will buy them but I expect to have to find a solution to this problem myself.

I had a Kaama drive boat back in the late 90's. At the time, I ordered new boots from Archer. The boots I received appeared to be too short. They would often pull off. When I finally got them secured, they ripped. With no other options at the time, I actually went out and used tractor tire inner tubes. I am ashamed to come clean with this method, but they worked pretty well. I cut them to size and installed over the ripped boots. When they appeared to be getting weak, I just cut new ones out and reinstalled them. For guys who are in desperate need of boots, this is a temporary fix.

Kaama Drive Boot Tractor Tire Inner Tube Fix
BigBlocks,
Do you recall what size inner tubes you used for your shade tree repair? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Kaama drive for sale
If you know anyone who needs a drive with boot and seals I have one for sale. Call me at 727-464-8531 Don. The gears are new and housing is in great shape. Short shaft and 2 sets of new seals. Boot is in good shape. My boat got stolen while I was rebuilding the kaama so I have it and no hope of finding the boat now. I will sell the drive, boot, and seals for $1500 for fast sale. Got my eves on another boat with different drives.

Hey Kaama boat guys,
lets try to keep this active. Take a look at the thread that audiofn linked above. I'm not sure but things sure haven't progressed with Archer Marine. I think it's time to figure the boot problem out on our own. Anyone with CNC or molding experience out there?
