SkibumOSU Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The propeller on my team's 2011 Centurion Carbon Pro has some dings in it, so I am planning on ordering a new propeller for the boat and fixing the current one to use as a spare. Unfortunately, I don't really know much about boat propellers. I was just going to buy the same prop that was currently on our boat, but I can't find one that has both the same diameter and pitch (4 blade OJ 13.0 x 14.5). One site recommended an ACME 537 4 blade (13.5 x 16) for the carbon pro when waterskiing or barefooting, but that seems like it will be a big change. Does anyone have any recommendations on which prop will make the pull most similar to those of the Big Three in tournaments? Any suggestions are welcome and very appreciated! Make: Centurion Model: Carbon Pro Year: 2011 Current Propeller: 4 blade OJ 13.0 x 14.5 Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted June 3, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2019 Acme 537 was standard-issue v-drive prop for many years with the gear reduction those ran. Your Carbon Pro will be noticeably slower out of the hole and might not make the revs (or torque) you're used to which will throw your ZO settings a bit out of whack. Eric at OJ or Bill at Acme are both super helpful though. I'd recommend making some calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MJE Posted June 3, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2019 ACME 1579 4 Blade (13.5" x 14.25) would be closer to your current prop than the 537. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted June 4, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 4, 2019 I will say, Eric @ OJ is both helpful and will usually fix your old prop to like new for free if you buy from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted June 4, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 4, 2019 I don’t have a Carbon Pro but like @BraceMaker said Eric fixed my old OJ prop for free. I’d call him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Stevie Boy Posted June 5, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 5, 2019 Somebody used to sell a gizmo that you put under a press to straighten out props , I do not know if that is still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
