Michigan Wheel 211 XHS Hub Kit for Evinrude/Johnson 40-70 HP, 13-Spline 3-3/8 Inch Gearcase

The Michigan Wheel 211 is an XHS Xchangeable Hub Kit built for Evinrude and Johnson outboards with a 13-spline, 3-3/8 inch gearcase, matching the 40-70 HP power range. It is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, letting you convert a compatible propeller to the XHS interchangeable hub system rather than replacing the whole prop when the hub wears out.

At the core of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and torsional stress created every time the outboard shifts gears. The sleeve is engineered to spin under significant impact loads, which protects the gearcase, shaft, and lower unit from shock damage that would otherwise be transmitted straight through a solid hub. This makes the 211 a practical choice both as a replacement hub for a worn-out kit and as an upgrade for boaters who want a shock-absorbing buffer built into their prop setup.

Because the XHS system is exchangeable, the 211 hub kit works with the Vortex and Apollo prop housings across the 40-70 HP Evinrude/Johnson lineup that uses the 13-spline, 3-3/8 inch gearcase, without requiring a full prop swap.
