Anyone have trouble replacing the original prop with the Acme 1210 and having trailer clearance issues? The boat shop said it wont fit due to the prop guard on the trailer. Its the original trailer...
I was really excited to try this new prop and the high praise its received from this site. I suppose I need to raise the bunks a few inches? Is the Acme 1210 a larger diameter than the original prop? |

Stick with the new wheel as it will really wake up the boat. Add some washers to the guard attach points and shim out the trailer prop guard.

Had a similar issue with my 79 Ski. Cause of the interference was the PO backed the trailer into high ground and bent the prop guard upward and spread the bunks slightly apart. I removed the guard and straightened it on my press and pulled the bunks together to match the now correct guard. All back together and went from an interference to 2-1/2" prop clearance.

Great idea shimming out the prop guard with washers! I will see if that can offer enough clearance....
I don't think the prop guard is damaged or bend in any way that would reduce clearance. |
