Have a chunk oit of my prop on my 90hp '84 inline 6 outboard. I would like to buy a prop to replace asap. Some of the replacement joints mentions needing a mercury flo tech ii hub. What hub do i have already if this is a stock setup? Any recs for a prop that would go straight on? This is one place i was looking. This is the number on my prop 48 77346a40 19p

Ayuh,.... You'd have to pull yer prop to see which hub it's got,...

Or, just buy yerself a Complete prop, With it's own hub....for yer motor of course...

Btw,.... iboats sells props,... no need for Somebodyelse's link in there...

Ayuh,... Because a bare prop casting is Useless without a Hub in it...

years ago, the hubs were pressed in,... Now a days, they're just pushed in by hand...

Quite simply, Buy a prop, With a Hub Kit....

Re: Prop hub question

Got the new prop. Put in on. Noticed that not only was there a monster chunk out of the old prop but the trim anode is broken off too, is there any way that a prop can flex so much that it hits the anode? Seems like a stretch but i dont see how else both could have happened another way without me knowing i hit something and without extensive damage to the lower unit. Thoughts?
