Flo-Torq Hub Wobble

[ScottB]

I notice some 'wiggle' in the prop (30P ET) when I was checking the prop for any issues at the end of the day. The plastic insert has some looseness in it, causing the prop to wiggle a little (shaft is solid and straight).

I will replace the Flo-Torq hub this week, but was wondering if this is common? How often (if ever) do you replace your hub? How much wiggle (if any) is acceptable?

Thanks!

Scott get the high Performance hub kit for the std shaft (1") It is a metal insert not plastic and that should do it. Mercury Hub Kit for + 400 h.p. is the one ya need...

I'm guessing the mentioned std 1 inch shaft is the small shaft? If so, I didn't know Merc offered a steel flo torq insert

Yes dave it is for the std. 1" shaft

+1 for solid insert, mine did the same thing twice. Solid hub solved it.

Bought the hub from Todd at Hydromotive, and all is better now!
