The kit's core function is to let a single propeller hub work across compatible prop housings without swapping the entire propeller, using an exchangeable rubber hub design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress created every time the outboard shifts gears. This sleeve is engineered to spin under significant shock loads, which protects the lower unit's gears and driveline from damage during hard or sudden shifts. The 226 hub is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, and it is also built to be interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, giving boat owners added flexibility when sourcing a replacement or keeping a spare hub on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinished in a brushed silver\/gray rubber material, the hub measures 4-1\/4 inches and is matched to a 15-tooth spline gearcase. Each kit ships complete and ready to install into a compatible prop housing, making it a straightforward replacement or spare part for boaters running Suzuki DF115A, DF140 HP, or DF140A outboards.\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 226\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS II (Drop-In Hub) Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGearcase Spline:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-Tooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber with Delrin cushioned sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver or Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engine Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suzuki DF115A, DF140 HP, DF140A;
