Michigan Wheel 201 XHS II Exchangeable Hub Kit for Evinrude/Johnson OMC V6/V8 Outboard Gearcases 1984-1990

The Michigan Wheel 201 is an XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit built to bring high performance and versatility to Evinrude, Johnson, and OMC Sterndrive outboards. At the core of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress created every time the gearcase shifts, and it is engineered to spin under significant load to protect the lower unit from damage. This hub kit is sized for the Vortex and Apollo prop housings and is also interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, giving boat owners flexibility when sourcing a replacement or keeping a spare prop ready to go.

The kit fits Evinrude/Johnson Outboards and OMC Sterndrive applications using a V6/V8 gearcase from 1984-1990. It ships as a single-item kit with a black rubber hub sleeve component and is a straightforward swap for anyone rebuilding or replacing a worn exchangeable hub system on a compatible gearcase.
