brew1891 Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 2003 Yamaha HPDI VMAX 2.7L Picked up a nice Merc Rev 4 from a forum member but need a hub. I am not a prop guy at all. Ordered a 835274Q1 flo torq 2 kit. Do I need the 835271Q2? At sons soccer games all weekend and the amazon return clock is ticking. Would appreciate any help. If the pictures on Amazon are correct the difference seems to be a thicker vs thin washer but again I don’t know. Current prop is PT OFX 4.

brew1891 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thank you! I’ll order the 835271Q2 Thinking I should order an extra hub and keep on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeviam Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 You're welcome! If you're thinking of getting a spare, you could try another option to compare with... The Flo-Torq II is a good hub, but is made of hard Delrin plastic. Solas/Rubex makes a nice one made of bronze encased inside a rubber hub insert that dampens shift clunk and vibration, more like the Yamaha SDS hub does. It's the RBX-203B: https://www.amazon.com/Solas-RBX-203B-Bronze-Yamaha-75-225/dp/B01AFFXPMO/ Also, Mercury came out with a rubber hub of the same type called the Flo-Torq SSR, but I'm not sure if they make one to fit your Yamaha. Here's the brochure on it: Flo Torq SSR.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just get a composite get home prop...I carry one for the sho 250.. if you spin a hub on the water it will be a challenge to reinsert the hub and then change a heavy prop in the water a composite is light and easy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt enjoy the clink sound when my old Mercury 4 blade went in and out of gear at the ramp sounded like I was shifting into reverse at over 1000 RPM clunk . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brew1891 Posted April 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Geeviam, thanks for the help. I will pick up the solas hub as my main hub. I like that idea better. Couldn’t find info for the SSR for my motor. I have an old stainless Merc prop with press hub in the boat as back up. Plastic does sound better for weight on the old Pathfinder plastic hatch buckets. I had looked at one of the plastic ones that the blades are removable in the past but never ordered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
