At its core is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress created every time the outboard shifts gears. That sleeve is designed to spin under significant shock loads, sacrificing itself instead of the drivetrain, which protects the gearcase and lower unit from the kind of damage a solid hub would transmit straight through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 215 hub kit uses a thru hub exhaust design with a 13 tooth spline and is sized for a 3-1\/4 inch gearcase. It is built for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, and fits Evinrude\/Johnson and Suzuki outboards with 13-spline, 3-1\/4 inch gearcases. It is also a Standard Replacement hub for Nissan and Tohatsu 50-70 HP outboards on the same 3-1\/4 inch gearcase with thru hub exhaust and 13 tooth spline, covering the 50 HP (50C only), 55 HP, 60A\/60B, and 70A\/70B model variants across the year ranges listed below. Keeping a spare 215 hub kit on hand lets you swap a spun or worn hub quickly instead of replacing the entire propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michigan Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS Xchangeable Hub Propeller Kit (Drop-In Hub)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thru Hub Exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpline:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 Tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGearcase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Prop Housings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vortex, Apollo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNissan\/Tohatsu 50 HP (50C Only): 1987-1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNissan\/Tohatsu 60A \u0026amp;
