Michigan Wheel 205 XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit, 19-Tooth Spline, for Volvo SX Sterndrive and Cobra SX Drives

The Michigan Wheel 205 is an XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit built to absorb the shock and stress that shifting gears puts on a propeller and lower unit. At the core of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that is designed to spin under significant impact, protecting the gearcase from damage during hard or repeated gear engagement. This makes it a practical choice both as a factory replacement and as a spare kept on board.

The 205 hub kit is engineered for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings and is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, giving boat owners flexibility when sourcing replacement parts. It carries a 19-tooth spline and is compatible with Volvo SX Sterndrives, 1994 to present. It also fits Cobra SX drives paired with 3.0 L (130 HP), 4.3 L (205 HP), 5.0 L (205 HP), and 5.7 L (260 HP) EST/PSR/YEMS engines, 1989 to 1993. For engines rated 300 HP or higher, Michigan Wheel specifies its High Horsepower Sleeve in place of the standard 205 sleeve. The hub is ambidextrous, working with standard prop rotation, and the kit ships in a black finish, one hub kit per package.
