How my weekend ended..

Still haven't had a "perfect" weekend on this boat since I bought it, but this time wasn't the boats fault! Which has me ecstatic! Yet another trip to the local Nautique dealer because of a submerged tree in 20ft deep water...

Sounds like a call to Delta Prop

Call Delta they can sell you a new ACME or repair that one. What boat is it on?

Actually I was lucky enough that my shop had the exact same one! Turns out a guy turned it in about a year and a half ago for a repair and never picked it up. So got it for $160, and they are fixing mine for $160!


Oh and its off of a 96 Super Sport running about 2500# of ballast..

I would suggest to check the drive shaft. They are not very difficult to check but you do need a dial indicator. If you choose not to check the drive shaft pay close attention to any vibration that wasn't there prior to the accident. If there is a vibration then you have two possible culprits; a poorly rebuilt prop or a bent drive shaft. Good Luck, and I hope no-one was hurt.

Well I took a good spill when it happened. My driver is very novice and when he heard the noise he killed the engine. Too bad I was mid flight over the wake!

Alignment was checked and spot on, just a lil bend in the prop.. Guess I got pretty lucky overall!
