Best prop for 13 Mojo... And where to get it

[uniwarking]

Hey all, had some bad luck this weekend and tore up my prop pretty good. The wife and I are still pretty new to the inboard world... Long story short... with some adjusting of trailer depth while loading the prop got into our trailer. I plan to send the stock OJ prop in for repair to use as a spare, not sure where the best place would be.

For a new prop I've been looking at the ACME 1235 but I'm curious what other mojo guys are using. I run stock ballast and usually 6 or more passengers... Can be a bit sluggish out of the hole but tops out around 45 with the OJ stock prop. We mostly wakeboard with ballast full and cruise at around 30mph. We do some skiing and tubing as well. We're also planning to get into surfing next season.

I've found decent prices at wake props and nettles online... Any suggestions? I need it by Friday for the weekend.

Thanks!

You're hitting 45mph with a 1235 on a Mojo? I have the same setup and have only hit 38 to maybe 40. I have the 345 engine. What RPM's are you hitting?

[uniwarking]

45 with my stock OJ. Thanks for the detail though, certainly answers one of my questions.

Ah... my confusion was "Stock OJ" Mine came with the 1235. What is the diameter and Pitch of the prop you have now?

1235 is great out of the hole. When my ballast is full, it's about 2400 pounds, and it handles it fine.

Call nettles or wakemakers. Both are excellent resources. Wakemakers took care of a friend of mine who busted his prop on Friday and had a new one at his door Sat morning. Cost a bit of coin, but he was on the water.

Nettles can take care of the new prop & repair. Great guys.

Yeah, I've PM'd him already.... Need it by Friday though.

Canada right?

[uniwarking]

Yep, I've been messaging him... I've also got emails in to Nettles and Wakeprops.com to see what they recommend. If there was something right in between the stock OJ 14.25 x 14.5 and the ACME 1235 I thing that would be perfect... but maybe the ACME is the best option.

The 1235 is the best prop for the MOJO IMHO. It will do everything that you want to and more, you will lose a little in your top end as i have had mine up to 39.7MPH and thats all she would give me. And it will also handle great amounts of weight. We have had 3800 lbs of ballast for wakeboarding in my MOJO and it handled it like a champ. Hope you get a prop on time.

I've got an ACME 1235 on the way. If I can't get the OJ repaired I'll be picking up another ACME as a spare... I don't want to be caught without one again.

Good call!

If i wasn't so busy i would have seen this.

I have the ACME 1235 in my Mojo and I'm upgrading now. I don't recall the prop number I'm getting but its a BEAST of a prop.

I am having cavitation issue with my 1235 running 3500lbs surfing and 7 people. Not real bad but i can feel it skip every so often.

I used to ruin the 1617 on my LSV which is an Excellent upgrade to the 1235 prop, but Im going even bigger on the Mojo.

Mike,

I think the prop you will be getting is the ACME 2079. It is a beast and will be awesome with all that weight, should also make that engine work a little less with all that weight. I have a friend who just got the equivalent prop for his MC and your right its a beast and works great. Loose the top end quite a bit but wow handles weight even better than the 1235. I have thought about getting this one sometimes when the MOJO is loaded but am still on the fence as i have never had much for cavitation maybe only a few times. Let me know how it works out!!!

Has anyone tried an Acme 1615? I am having my 1617 repaired and just bought a 1235. My boat weighs around 4,500 lbs and we run just about 3,000 lbs (+/-) of ballast.

The Acme specs for some of the different props are;

Part # -- DIA -- Pitch ----- Cup ------- Blades
1433 -- 14.00 -- 14.250 -- 0.105 cup -- 4
1235 --14.50 -- 14.250 -- 0.105 cup -- 4
2249 -- 15.00 -- 14.250 -- 0.105 cup -- 4
2245 -- 14.50 -- 14.500 -- 0.105 cup -- 5
1617-- 14.00 -- 13.750 -- 0.105 cup -- 4
1615 --14.50 -- 13.750 -- 0.105 cup -- 4
2079 -- 14.50 -- 12.000 -- 0.105 cup -- 4

Ok guys, got my ACME 1235 from Nettles today and just got it installed. Sure doesn't look like a lot of room under there ...

I measured 5/8" down to the prop guard... so only about 1/4" when passing over the rear cross bar... is this normal?

The way I think about it though, is that the trailer is on an angle on the ramp and the boat will be floating above it. The only time the prop gets close to that 5/8" is when it come to its final rest as you pull the trailer out of the water. My boat ends up in the same spot every time, so I would not be worried about that 1/4" you mentioned...

[mmandley]

Yup thats the right clearance, I have the 1235 and its pretty close, but like moombahighrider said, when the boat is coming onto the trailer the back is floating.

I just confirmed my order with WakeProps and my new 2079 is on the way. Should be here later today.

[uniwarking]

Thanks guys, makes sense. Hope this prop last longer than the last one!!!
