The ACME 1578 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 1578 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.
Torque torque torque. I think this is the most aggressive propeller the configurator said I could use on my 2005 226. It makes a big difference from an already upgraded acme prop from stock. I thought that made a big difference but this 1578 is on a different level.
Enjoy the new prop!
I have a 2007 Air Nautique 226 and added the Wakemakers Factory Ballast upgrade (about 1500 lbs). We also run 8-10 adults in the boat usually... this prop really allowed us to get on plane quickly! I feel like it is doing better at surf speeds for fuel economy as well.
Needed a RH turn shaft and no one locally had one. They shipped one next day to me without charging a ridiculous fee. Most were over $100 to do this. Very impressed with their efficiency!
2003 Super Air Nautique, nearly 3000# of ballast and I jumps out of water like it's not loaded at all. Incredible. Don't really care about top end. Hold speed through turns and for surfing much better than stock.
We ride in the High Lakes of the Oregon Cascades. Upgrading to the ACME 1578 prop with the lower pitch makes the boat pop riders right up. It also made the wake surfing speed more consistent and powerful. We ride at 4500+ feet elevation with about 1500 pounds of ballast. We can feel the increase in pulling power with every start. Worth every penny and thanks for the sale price.
