Josh,
I am assumming you are replacing the bushings in the gimbal of the drives,there are no bearings.Bad news for you,nobody makes them,or has them.I ended going to a machine shop with an old one and had them made.Here is another bad part,the tolerences are so tight and each one is different that you will also need to sand them to exact sizes.Hope this helps.If you need any help email me at fisherm93@aol.com

Are you looking to replace the bearings that carry the drive shaft or the bushings on the ring the outdrive mounts on?

If you are looking to rplace the bearings for the shaft the bearings are just off the shelf issue. Take you bearings and seals to a go industrialy supply store and they can match them for you. I rebuit both my gimbals and drives and all the bearings and seals were in stock at Precision Industries.

Do you have a copy of the Kaama manual?

Thanks for the helpfull information. I'm looking to replace the bearings that the driveshaft runs on. I'm glad to hear that the parts are on shelf. I don't have a Kaama manual but I would love to get my hand on one.

Thanks again
Josh
