Hey car biz,
I'm just running the original delcos. Do you have a local rebuilder? I had a starter go out last year on my 311 and one the year before on my 206. Kamma motors have a top mount bellhousing. Mercruiser is a PITA bottom mount like a car, except you can't jack the stupid boat up to remove the starter from underneath. F311 starter R&R = about 10 minutes total. F206 starter R&R = about 4 hours upside down in the boat and about a QT. of blood lost. Local guy rebuilds marine starters for about $80 I think. If you buy new make sure you get a top mount starter. I spins reverse direction. Different mounting pattern too. ALJ |

Yup i know about the Top mount. I had them rebuilt in 08 BUT they are VERY noisy and when the motors are hot it seems they don't have enough ummmph to spin the motors over like i want them too.

M Magloo,
Yep, still around. I pulled my engines and all the Kaama hardware ( I mean Everything) from the F402 and sold it to a guy in central Illinois. He rerigged it from an insurance recovery boat with a TRS 420 setup. Worked out great for him and for me. Last I heard it ended up at Lake of the Ozarks or something. I sold it because I found our current F311 Kaama out in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Black with "old " #2 imron design. Much better setup for Kaama drives. The F311 hull must have been designed for Kaama drives! It's like night and day versus the F402. The 311 needs a little work here and there but it's nice for 25 years old. :drink: |
302 and 311 both have rocker in them so yes Kaamas work well on them.
