I put a new prop on my Supra. It is bigger than the stock one. It is hitting the trailer by what looks like a 1/4". So the way I see it is I can ether put spacer under the wood runners to make the boat sit higher. Or I can cut, lower and re weld the trailer where the prop is. Has anyone else run into this problem? What are some of your thoughts? <BR>Thanks

My father-in-law had a problem with his on the Nautique, Only his frame rails had spread enough to hit. We used a come along to pull the rails closer together making the hull sit higher &amp; a whack on the cross member to set it lower &amp; hold the rails where we pulled them. I assume on the older nautique trailer there was not as much bracing like the supra .

Before you go modifying the trailer, you might want to revisit your prop selection.

ya I'm no expert but if it's too big it probably is spinning too close to the boat hull?

agree with mikey on that

same thing happened on my boat. i moved the bunks up.

I had a similar problem with a DHM Trailer when I put an Acme 1235 on our WS VLX. DHM was able to put a slight bend in the cage that protects the prop and rudder. They did it when I had the trailer in for some warranty work, and didn't charge. DHM is a class act from what I can tell with my dealings with them.

If your prop is that much larger you are going to kill the hole-shot.

Two easy options for a quick fix. <BR> <BR>1. Bend the prop guard down if you can (I did it on my Nautique 211's prop guard to fit the 1234) <BR> <BR>2. Install 1/2" of galvanized square washers between the trailer and bunk mounts to raise the whole boat up 1/2". <BR> <BR>George, that prop works great on loaded boats, it drops pitch and gains blade. Net result is like running wide low profile tires on a car; better traction with lower gearing. Big holeshot gains. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by mikeski on July 06, 2008)
