07 211 Team prop

[Ribit5]

Does anyone know what prop the 211 Team's are coming out of the factory with ?

Heard they may be going with the Acme 1234.
Just trying to verify.

Thanks

RE: 07 211 Team prop

They have two props for it. One is standard and the other is about $120 extra. I don't know the numbers off hand.

If they changed the rotation on the 07 it isn't the 1234. I put a 1234 on my 06. If you are adding weight I'd recomend the equivelant to 1234. It pulls like a tug boat.

Has anyone gotten a definitive answer as to the prop rotation on a 2007 211? I'm curious if it's the same rotation as previous Nautiques.

All Vdrives except for the 226 in the 2007 Model Year will have a left hand rotation. All direct drives are still right handed and will remain that way.

[redelf75]

Do you know why the 226 is the exception? Could it be that they plan on discontinuing that model? Or maybe they have a few R-hand drives on the shelf and that would match the 226's production numbers perfectly - haha.

Spoke to Jim at Acme today and he said the 07 equivalent of a 1234 is a ... 1235.

He mentioned that they have a new 1237 that should also perform good and not be so tight on clearance. (will also work on the new 210)

1235 - 14.5 x 14.25 x .105 cup
1237 - 13.5 x 14.25 x .150 cup

Hey Mikeski ... any thoughts on these numbers, we still slalom, surf and wake.

Thanks

Are you running the 330ex or ZR6?

They run different props based on SE, LE, or TE. Sometimes they switch them midstream too for unknown reason.

How fast do you ski? Are you worried about the start or the top speed? Any barefooters in the mix (specifically one-footers needing higher top end)?

I am happy with my 1160, it's no dragster but it's a good overall prop.

Ribit,

Have you read through this?

Thanks Mike ...

Yes, I followed that thread as it was going.
We are now in the process of upgrading our 05 211 to a 07 211 and thought I could prop it well right off the bat.

Jim, at Acme said CC has tested a few different props.

We'll have the EX-330, and my son primarily ski's at 34. No barefooters, a 40 mph top end is sufficient.

I haven't heard or seen anyone with a 07 211 TEAM EX-330, so I don't know what prop the factory is putting on. If it's something like the 644 I'd like to see about swapping it right at the factory.

Thanks

I have a 2007 211 TE waiting at the dealership for next spring. I could call and find out what prop is on it and let you know...

On the 07 the rotation is opposite so all props will end with an odd number. I would either recommend the 1161 or the 1235. If you like to cruise without much ballast and don't like the motor revving too high I would recommend the 1161. If you run the boat with a load and like strong holeshots (or have a short entrance to a ski course) I would recommend the 1235. Or both, run one as a primary and the other as a secondary.

Acme 645 is the stock prop on a 07 211TE with the 330 HP engine.

Just got back from my dealer and saw it sitting in the box in the boat.

Thanks Fast ...

After some research, I'm going to see if I can get a Acme 1237 (13.5 x 14.25 x .150 cup) straight from the factory with our order ...

FYI ... the 645 is 13.25 x 15.5 x .105 cup.

The 1237 #'s indicate it should pull stronger out of the hole, probably lose a few mph's on top end.
