At its core is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and torque stress created every time the outboard shifts gears. This cushioning is designed to let the hub spin under significant impact loads, protecting the lower unit's gearcase from shock damage that a solid hub could transfer straight through the driveline. Because the exchangeable hub system separates the wear component from the propeller blade assembly, a worn or spun hub can be replaced on its own rather than requiring a full propeller replacement, making the 202 a practical option for a spare or service part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XHS II hub design is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, so it fits propellers and hardware engineered around that hub standard. For Honda outboard applications, Michigan Wheel specifies Kit #202 for BF 75 HP and BF 90 HP engines built for the 1995-1998 model years; Honda BF 75\/90 engines from 1999 and newer, along with BFP 60, BF 115, and BF 130 HP engines from 1998 and newer, use the different Kit #207 instead, so confirming the engine year and horsepower before ordering is important to get the correct hub kit.\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 202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit (Drop-In Hub)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delrin cushioned sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Prop Housings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vortex and Apollo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub System Interchange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Flo-Torq II compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 3 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHonda BF 75 HP and BF 90 HP outboards, 1995-1998 engine applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: this kit may interfere with a trim tab on some installations;
