    Which Hub?

    I finally removed the melted hub from my prop. Part number on the prop is 48-88440-19 and goes into my 95 Mercruiser 4.3lx Alpha One Gen II. I couldn't find a part number on the old hub. Does the prop use a Flo Torque II hub? Thanks in advance.

    '95 4.3LX Alpha One Gen II Questions

    So I picked up this really nice and clean Chaparral 1830. This is my first sterdrive boat and I have a few questions: (1) The weber 4 barrel (manifold choke) has some choke issues and it's hard to start after after stopping for more than 15 minutes. What is a good substitute for that carb...
