Hi guys (and girls)
Could you one the propellor masters please have a look on this NZ website and tell me what prop would be similar to a 542 ACME for my 88 SN 2001?? http://www.propellerservices.co.nz I would appreciate this as getting one from USA is out of the question much thanks ------------- If you can't be rich, you gotta be clever!  Wonder if I'm either right now.

That site is just importing the Austral Props from Australia.
http://www.australpropeller.com.au/skiboat.htm - Austral Props Australia I'm not sure but I think the taper on Aus/NZ prop shafts may be different to US shafts. If you have a genuine shaft you may have to get the prop machined to order. Check with Austral direct about the taper they will know. They do make a 13"x 12 and a 13" X 11.5 but how they match up to the Acme 3 blade props is unknown. Austral may be able to give you advice here also. ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |

The Acme 542 is 13x11.5, wich because of it wide blades/cup design plus the CNC machining would make it a replacement for 13x12 non CNC propellers. It's also made of Nybral wich is Nickel/bronce(aluminium alloy
The thing is if these props you're looking at are CNC or not, I'd try getting the ACME. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2095" rel="nofollow - 1980 Ski Nautique Commander 351W |
