Product Details

The Michigan Wheel 206 XHS Vortex Hub Kit is a replacement hub system designed for OMC V4 outboard motors from 1968 and newer. This hub kit is an essential component for propeller installation and maintenance on compatible Johnson and Evinrude engines.

Key Features:

  • Xchangeable Hub System (XHS) absorbs impact and stress caused by shifting gears
  • Designed to spin under significant impact to protect your lower unit from damage
  • Interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system for versatile compatibility
  • Compatible with OMC V4 outboard motors 1968 and newer
  • Vortex hub design for reliable performance

The XHS design acts as a sacrificial component that will spin free under severe impact conditions, potentially saving your expensive lower unit gearcase from costly damage. This interchangeability with Mercury's system can save you money when replacing or upgrading your propeller setup.
