The kit centers on a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress of shifting gears, and it is engineered to spin under significant impact loads so the propeller protects the lower unit rather than transmitting shock through the drivetrain. It is built for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, giving boat owners a hub solution that works across Michigan Wheel's exchangeable hub propeller lineup rather than being locked to a single prop model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the XHS II hub design is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, the 208 kit gives owners flexibility when sourcing a replacement or spare prop hub for compatible gearcases. The aluminum housing is finished in a brushed finish for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. This makes the 208 a practical choice for boaters who need to service or replace a worn hub kit without replacing the entire propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Michigan
