Hi Guys - I'm new to this class of boating and (GOOD NEWS) scored a great deal on a Formula SR1 357 with KAAMA Drives and (BAD NEWS) blew out one of the drives last weekend. A bearing scattered then destruction ensued. I really need help sourcing a drive. The housing was damaged so I need a whole KAAMA drive rather than just parts of it. Thanks for your help in advance. I will offer a reward for information if thats what it takes. Thanks Ardalan 858-213-3112

I sold a bunch of Kaama stuff a while back to Doller Offshore in Fort Lauderdale. You might want to try there. And no reward necessary. It's what this site is all about.

By the way, which 357 Kaama did you buy?

There is a machine shop in Costa Mesa Ca. that use to weld up the housing, and re-machine them. If you are interested, I could check on it.

pm a guy on here mrfillall screen name, his name is mike i believe he has parst for those drives or can get parts

Archer marine (949)646-9778

i have a friend that has 2 brand new ones still in the wood crates,,dont know if he will part with them as he bought them for spares a long time ago..his shado cat has kaama drives on it and seem the boat only has about 20 hr's on it since new and since he rigged it way back when he may part with them..

i left you a message..

Wow Guys thanks for the quick information. I will take the drive to Archer Marine. Apparently the housing is repairable and the he has the gears etc as new. Many thanks for the support of a newbie...

Good stuff. I hear once thosee drives are re built, they are basically bullet proof so you have that going for you

Dan Archer is a real upstanding guy, by far the highest integrity and skill I have so far come across in dealings with powerboats.
