Prop to trailer clearance
I installed my 1235 and ended up with 3/8", just like I figured. What do you guys think?

That's how mine is and I power load often. The next time you launch take some pressure treated plywood or cutting board plastic 4x4in squares and shim up the rear bunk. Adding a 1/4 or 1/2in with a hole in the center. Just unscrew the bolt, place the shim, you may need a long screw.

Yea, that's not enough to feel safe. Shims are cheaper than prop repair.

I honestly sold my 1235 to a guy and this was his post I copied over here because you guys are the only ones I know of running with that small clearance. I told him to run it. I thought I remember a lot of guys here running them?

Traitor!
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Ideally, the back of the boat should be off the bunks when the trailer is backed into the water adding to the clearance.

I know it sounds dumb BUT who has hit the prop on the trailer? In many years of boating with inboards I hit the trailer the other year loading the boat myself in the wind. I was able to fix the prop for a few hundred but still sucked. My Mojo was almost on the trailer and WHAM since I got a little off center but still in the guide poles, I was actually surprised it happened.
