The units I bought had Kaama props on them, I'm very excited to try them when I get my finished. They were flawless and are definitely different! The hubs match the housing perfectly, then taper down. Never saw one before, is this what your's looked like Kaama302?

Yes,

However they are cast and brittle. I have thrown a blade on 3 props. Gone thru 2 sets. Looking for another set to break.

I know the boots cost me alot, used a while back when i needed one.
I have a few of these boots used , two trannys I think three tail units, and gimbles

Also does anyone know if the props that fit these fit anything else?

Any input would be helpful
I might be interested in the transmissions! How much you want? Got any pictures?

I'd be interested in the boots. As mentioned they are available new again, but if I can pick up some used ones in really nice shape for less money I probably would.

When I was going thru my testing after I got my engine program sorted out the best pro I found to work was a 5blade. Granted it is going to cost you
1000.00 for the prop adapters to go from 19 to 26 spline BUT I cannot tell you how much of a difference the 5blade made over the 4 blade I ended up with these. BTW I tried a 6 blade and WILL NVERE TRY AGAIN!!

What did the 5 blade do for the boat? What Diameter and Pitch? RPMs are you running? How high are you trimming? Is the 5 blade harder on the internals?

The 5 blade took all of the vibration out of the boat WAY smoother. I could also plane slower and had a better cruise. I had 450 hp and 514 tq I had 15 degree 17.5 x 28

My cruise was 45 at 4000 and the best I saw was 76.8 at 5500 just above the max on the trim guage.
My builder said he saw 77.2 with it but I never did.

I do not think it is any harder on the drives because of the slip these drives have. I still had like 18% slip
I never got it fully dialed it but it was good enough for me

Hmm. I am running stck 502mpi. I cruise at 48 at 3000rpm. I wonder what pitch I should try. The boat runs fastest with a 17x26. Thoughts?
