I just ordered a new prop for my 88 150hp xr2, the one that it shows has a 4 in. hub and the one I pulled off has a 4 3/4in hub. It had a 4 in years ago and I replaced it thinking it was causing a problem with exhaust washing out the prop. Has any one seen this or do you think I could just run this new 4 in. prop. as it is. Or should I send it back and try to get the right size...........

Re: Prop Hub Size

Any thoughts on this...

The prop needs to fit the LU. Either a 4 1/4 or a 4 3/4 LU will fit on an XR2 as long as it came from a V6. I think they make a ring that will allow the smaller prop to run on a bigger LU, but it's simpler to get the right prop.

hope it helps
John
