So I bought a new prop off iBoats and it is quite a bit different on inside of the hub than what my current one looks like. The prop on the right is the original and has the guts of the hub pictured in front. The one on the left is the new one and the hub guts are part of the prop. It seems to fit tight and everything but it is different. Can I use the new one or do I need to send it back?

It is a for a 1992 Mercury Black Max 135.

Re: New Prop Doesn't Fit

You said the new prop doesn't fit?

The new prop has the hub pressed in at the factory, while the old prop used a "replaceable" hub

It'll work just fine.

If that's a Solas prop; they offer two types. The Amita uses the pressed in hub, while the Rubex uses their replaceable hub system(just like Mercury's). Both prop types will fit the same.
