Sale
ACME 1615 4 Blade 14.5" x 13.75" Propeller
Item: 64033
The ACME 1615 4 Blade Propeller revolutionized prop performance for wakeboard boats, and is still one of the most popular propellers available for wakeboarding and wakesurfing.
The ACME 1615 4-Blade Propeller offers more surface area than comparable 4-Blade propellers which means a more efficient transmission of power, higher fuel economy, and more consistent speeds. Thanks to ACME’s continued devotion to push the ski and wakeboard boat propeller industry to new heights inboard props are helping ski and wakeboard boats achieve performances never before seen.
Prior to 1999, ski and wakeboard boat propellers were cast from molds, a process that offered little precision and had severe limitations for the size and shape of the blades. The result was inefficient props with small blade surface area and poor balance which caused vibration in the boat drive train. However, all that changed when ACME introduced CNC machining to the inboard propeller industry. By precision machining its waterski and wakeboard boat propellers ACME is now able to hold tolerances and achieve accuracies never before seen in the inboard propeller industry.
What does that mean for you? The ACME 1615 4-Blade Propeller will perform up to and surpass the standards you expect from the moment you pull it out of the box and put it on your boat.
Prop Finder
Finding the right prop for your boat is based on the individual boat/engine combination, as well as how the boat is being used. Whether you want to upgrade the stock prop, or just need to replace a damaged prop, our Prop Finder guide will help you determine the perfect prop for your Year, Make, and Model boat.
Rotation & Diameter
Rotation: Like bore, rotation is specific to the power train of the boat; if your boat needs a left-hand rotation propeller, you must use a left-hand rotation propeller.
Diameter: In general, a larger diameter means more surface area, which means better transmission of power from the engine to the water. Typically the diameter is limited by clearance around the prop, which is very important to check.

Cup & Pitch
Cup: is the curvature of the blade at its edge, primarily translates to the amount of load the prop will put on the motor.
Pitch: is the distance the prop would travel after making one full revolution. A lower numerical pitch number means higher engine RPMs relative to boat speed, which translates to better performance for slower speed activities.

Shaft Size 1 1/8" Keyed
The bore of the propeller is specific to the prop shaft that is on your boat. Shaft size is not interchangeable, you must use the correct size prop for your boat’s shaft or the prop won’t fit.
Keyed: Measure the circumference of the prop shaft. Do the measurement in the middle of the prop shaft as it tapers as it gets closer to the propeller. Then use this formula to find the diameter. (diameter = circumference / 3.14)
Performance Guarantee
Never again worry if the propeller you buy is going to deliver the performance you need. Think of our Performance Protection Plan as a guarantee that the propeller you purchased will provide the desired performance. If it does not do what you want, simply exchange it for a different model.

Absolute necessary to surf
This worked amazingly well on my 2005 21’ Wakesetter VLX. I added the Wakemakers piggy back system to my stock ballast (highly recommended as well!) and then couldn’t get above 10-11 mph with the stock prop and just a couple people in the boat. Add 5-6 and that dropped to 9!
I used the Acme search tool which recommended a 1235 for medium sized wake (a very popular prop) but the 1615 for larger and more low end torque so I went with the 1615 since I wasn’t as concerned about another mph drop in top speed.
Easily able to get out of the water and hit 20mph (and then some, but stopped there during initial testing) with loaded ballast and a couple adults.
Super happy with the prop and quick turnaround from Wakemakers!

Exceeded Expectations!
Bought a used Nautique 236 w the ZR6, came with the stock prop. >3k lbs of ballast and felt this was a great midpoint between the ACME 1235 and 2079. We're not at high elevation or super heavy...predominantly surf with 3-6 people onboard. Could immediately tell the holeshot & planing difference, never go over 30 so couldn't tell you on top-end losses. Very happy and would highly recommend

1615 prop
Researched a lot of props for my 2011 Tige RZ4 before pulling the trigger on the ACME 1615. My boat is dialed for surfing and is VERY ballasted up for a waist high wave. The stick prop just wasn’t cutting it and I needed more torque off the line. The 1615 delivers. It pulls anybody out of the water with full ballast on board with absolutely no issues. Not that I really care about too soeed but with the 14.5” diameter I hardly lost any and it tops out around 42.5 mph.
I highly recommend this prop for a Z Series Tige fun youre heavily weighted for surfing, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Propeller!
Purchased ACME 1615 for a 2006 Wakesetter VLX with Monsoon 340. Boat is used primarily for wake boarding with 3,000 lbs. The 1615 was recommended by ACME for this boat specifically with the 340 hp. I immediately found a huge improvement over the stock 537 prop. I now get onto plane much faster , burn less fuel and hold speed better. Also my purchasing experience with Wakemakers was top notch!
