It is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, making it the correct exchangeable hub for building a replacement or spare propeller on those housings rather than buying a new prop outright. At the core of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that sits between the prop hub and the gearcase spline. This sleeve absorbs the impact and torque loading that occurs every time the outboard shifts gears, and it is engineered to spin (slip) under a hard impact, such as striking submerged debris, to protect the lower unit, gear case, and drivetrain from shock damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hub kit itself is rubber, with a brushed exterior finish on the exposed components, and measures 3-1\/4 inch (82.55 mm) to match the Nissan\/Tohatsu 13-spline gearcase diameter. Because the XHS system is exchangeable, the hub kit can be swapped into a compatible Vortex or Apollo prop housing rather than requiring the housing and hub to be purchased as one fixed assembly, which is useful for boat owners who already own a housing and need a replacement hub sleeve or a spare on hand. This is a hub kit only, intended to be installed into an existing or separately purchased Vortex\/Apollo prop housing.\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 216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS Xchangeable Hub Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Gearcase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nissan\/Tohatsu 13-Spline, 3-1\/4 Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-1\/4 inch (82.55 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushion Sleeve Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed\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\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014984024754\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Michigan Wheel 216 hub kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 216 is an XHS Xchangeable Hub Kit that fits inside a Vortex or Apollo prop housing to build a replacement or spare propeller for Nissan\/Tohatsu outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich gearcase does the 216 hub kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sized for the Nissan\/Tohatsu 13-spline, 3-1\/4 inch gearcase, matching a hub diameter of 3-1\/4 inch (82.55 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the cushioning sleeve made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cushioned sleeve inside the Michigan Wheel 216 hub kit is Delrin, chosen for its ability to absorb repeated shifting impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 216 hub kit protect the lower unit if I hit something submerged?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Delrin sleeve in the 216 is designed to spin (slip) under a hard impact so that shock is absorbed by the hub instead of being transmitted to the gearcase and lower unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 216 a complete propeller or just a hub component?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 216 is a hub kit only, meant to be installed into a compatible Vortex or Apollo prop housing rather than sold as a complete standalone propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat prop housings is the 216 compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hub kit is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the overall size of the 216 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hub kit measures 3-1\/4 inch (82.55 mm), matching the 13-spline Nissan\/Tohatsu gearcase it is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Michigan Wheel 216 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 216 hub kit weighs 0.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the 216 hub kit have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a brushed exterior finish on the exposed hub components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 216 hub kit be used as a spare part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because the XHS system is exchangeable, the Michigan Wheel 216 is commonly kept as a spare hub kit for a Vortex or Apollo housing already in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the hub kit itself made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 216 hub kit is made of rubber, with a Delrin cushioned sleeve at its core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan Wheel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991274565851,"sku":"MIW-116","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Michigan-Wheel-Hub-Kit__97612.1722511137.500.750.jpg?v=1785188511","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/michigan-wheel-216-xhs-hub-kit-for-nissan-tohatsu-13-spline-3-1-4-gearcases-35-50-hp","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
