My Wife took out my Prop!
« on: July 13, 2009, 16:43:18 pm »
Hi Folks, My wife pulled the boat too far into the lift!  So now that I need a new prop (right away, summer is short here).


Has anyone got a suggestion for where to get a new prop and what pitch is best for wakeboarding speed/efficiency?

I have Mastercraft, Supra, Moomba, Centurion and Ski Nautique right up the street from my office.

Need to cross reference something.

Thanks,

You will burn a little  more gas with the 542 than the 540 but the hole shot of the 542 is fantastic. You only need 1/2 throttle for a slalom skier. I am sticking with the 540. The 540 prop does it all for me. I would suggest you use the 540 first and if you want more hole shot send it back and get the 542. Now remember these are for a 1" shaft and RH prop (boat backs left). But just call Acme with your shaft size and rotation and give them the dimensions as listed in the testing and they will fix you up. Remember to check your gear ratio also before you call.
