Has anyone else been disappointed with the Rubex hubs on Solas props? I just put 4 hours on a new prop and hub and then tried to change props to another pitch (also new) and ended up having to use an arbor press to remove the hub to put in the other prop. The hub had already started to spin in the prop which in turn also atarted to tear the rubber on all 4 corners of the hub. Not only would a prop change on the lake be impossible, but unless you have an arbor press in your garage, would have been impossible there too. Nothing happened during the 4 hours of usage that would cause this and it is the proper pitch for the boat. The hub is rated for our horse power and was installed and torqued properly.
