The ACME 1235 holds the title as one of the most popular 4 blade propellers available for sale from ACME manufacturers. A flagship product for ACME and designed for ski and wake boats, ACME designed it to provide better fuel efficiency and more consistent speeds while out on the water. This is possible because it’s a 4 blade prop that provides more surface area, which increases the push the prop gives and lowers the shake one may feel when using a less well-made prop, or one with fewer blades. The 1235 is especially well known for this because it is on the larger end of all ski and boat props. Some have even described its increase in push and holeshot as vastly surpassing what they prepared for, and accepted a lower top speed for these advantageous effects.
In regard to specifications for the 1235, it has a diameter and pitch of 14.50” x 14.25” respectfully. It also sports a cup size of .105 and a 1-1/8” shaft. Finally, it is oriented to rotate in the left hand direction.
As the readers of these blogs may be familiar with, ACME is known for their superior manufacturing technique called CNC. It is incredibly precise, and allows for props to be as identical to one another as possible. It is what gives ACME their stellar reputation as a top manufacturer that buyers can trust when they need a replacement props to run properly. The process to create the magnificent ACME 1235 boat prop is no different. These processes come together to create a quality propeller that does even more than many buyers expect. Who doesn’t like having their expectations surpassed?
