Not as ancient as you would think! Finally got her back together with the Kaama setup!

Get yourself a cold beverage and prepare to do some reading! 20+ pages covering the whole rigging process. The Kaama upgrade starts on page 39! Let me know if you have any questions after reading through to the end!

I was just getting ready to ask if you were spinning those OUT as shown in the top photo. Then I saw the last photo, you had switched the props. That's one of those things you don't wanta catch after ya float it off the trailer.. There is a viral video showing what happens when ya switch the props by accident.. LOL

Nice looking setup. Any pics of the driveline inside?

Actually that's the cool thing about kaama's is that the drive rotation is set at the transmission where one runs in forward and one runs in reverse. They are designed to take full power in either direction. This means if you want to spin the props the opposite way you just need to swap the props and the linkage on the tyrannies. Technically you could just run the sticks on the dash in reverse!
