The Michigan Wheel 202 XHS (Xchangeable Hub System) is a replacement propeller hub designed specifically for Mercury V6 outboard motors. This innovative hub system is engineered to absorb impact and stress caused by shifting gears and underwater obstacles, protecting your lower unit from costly damage.
Key Features:
The XHS hub system functions as a sacrificial component that absorbs damaging forces before they reach your outboard's gearcase. When you strike an underwater object, the hub is designed to slip and spin, dissipating energy that would otherwise transfer to your lower unit. This smart engineering can save you from expensive lower unit repairs while maintaining propeller performance in normal operating conditions.
