Bad evening at the lake

[dogbert]

I did not know there was such a thing and that there was a difference.

Unfortunately, I found out the hard way. His prop looks worse than mine did.

Yep, 08 is most certainly an ACME CNC and would be a #537 unless it's a hi-alt.

2.What is the ball park for a prop repair/replace and fixing the shaft?

More then a custom surf sac

It also depends on the shop that you want to do the work, some can work on the cnc props.

I don't think they change the prop for high altitude - my boat has a 537 on it too.

Tige doesnt, but some dealers do because know they need to be changed.

One thing positive about this is the FAE is intact.

[Dave K]

Sorry to see that. I hope you can get it fixed quick and get back out there!!

Update

Called the dealer and they said to bring it in in 2 weeks. I said that was unacceptable try again! so she is going in tomorrow to at least get the prop pulled gelcoat repairs started and go from there. I will definantly be water testing prior to taking her home (Dealer is right on the lake). Sounds like I could be down for a couple of weeks if parts need to be ordered from Tige, maybe they come pony express or something.

I had a lot worse damage to mine and the certified Acme repair shop here in Rancho Cordova fixed it and the prop shaft was not damaged either. But, I would definitely have it checked out. I did and I was glad that I did.

How fast was Majestic going? He was surfing from what I think and at the most, probably 12-13 mph.

It was a 537!

Good thing you got the custom surf sac order from me already! If I would have waited a couple of days the wife would have never let that happen.

[Waterski-Rebel]

Sorry dude, I feel for you!!

The very first time we took our boat out, we hit a beer bottle, and destroyed our prop.

There was a thread on hear with someone selling an ACME 537.

Here it is, $389.

Eh, the 537 still works really well up here (5000' +), even with ballast and people it still pulls out of the hole pretty good.

Thanks TeamAllen for the tip! I have sent a PM to tigegirl.

Majestic,

Sorry to hear of your wreck. BUmmer even worse to see you put off a few weeks in the middle of peak season. Glad you got some strings pulled to get back on the water. If you are lucky, you can just replace the prop and be good to go.

If the gelcoat guy put me off, I would just fill the holes with 3M 5200 or another product and finish out the season.

My Locally dealer is being great about the whole thing, they seem super busy right now and made room for my boat. I will just have to wait to see what the cost of the prop repair is versus a new one. The strut and shaft appear to be bent but won't know for sure until they get pulled. Gel coat repair won't be a big deal at all.
