At its core is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress created every time the gears shift, and the sleeve is designed to spin under significant impact loads, protecting the lower unit from shock damage that would otherwise transfer straight through the prop shaft. This makes the kit a practical choice both as a factory-style replacement hub and as a spare kept on board for field service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 227 hub kit is sized for a 4-1\/4 inch, 15-spline gearcase and is compatible with Suzuki\/Johnson DF70A, DF80A, and DF90A outboards. It is engineered for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings and is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, so it can be used to service propellers built around either hub platform. The rubber hub construction gives the assembly the flex needed to cushion shifting shock while maintaining a secure spline fit against the gearcase.\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 227\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit\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\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGearcase Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-1\/4 inch, 15-spline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Outboards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suzuki\/Johnson DF70A, DF80A, DF90A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Hub Systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Flo-Torq II, Vortex prop housing, Apollo prop housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014984016469\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuzuki\/Johnson DF70A, DF80A, DF90A outboards with a 15-spline, 4-1\/4 inch gearcase\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 227 is an XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit that replaces or rebuilds the hub inside a compatible propeller, using a Delrin cushioned sleeve to absorb shifting shock and protect the lower unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich outboards does the 227 hub kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is compatible with Suzuki\/Johnson DF70A, DF80A, and DF90A outboards fitted with a 4-1\/4 inch, 15-spline gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 227 hub kit work with a Mercury Flo-Torq II propeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Michigan Wheel 227 is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, so it can service props built around that hub platform in addition to Vortex and Apollo prop housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the hub sleeve made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 227 kit uses a rubber hub with a Delrin cushioned sleeve, a material chosen to absorb impact and stress from gear shifting while allowing controlled spin under significant impact loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit weighs 1.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many hub kits come in one package of part number 227?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit is included per unit, based on the listed unit count of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 227 hub kit a genuine Michigan Wheel part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 227 is a genuine Michigan Wheel XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit, not an aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat prop housings is the 227 hub kit designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings, in addition to being interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 227 hub kit fit a 15-spline gearcase?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Michigan Wheel 227 is sized for a 15-spline, 4-1\/4 inch gearcase as used on Suzuki\/Johnson DF70A, DF80A, and DF90A outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty comes with the Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 227 hub kit carries a 1-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the finish on the Michigan Wheel 227 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hub kit has a brushed exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan Wheel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991275024603,"sku":"MIW-227","price":55.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Michigan-Wheel-Hub-Kit__13400.1722493371.500.750.jpg?v=1785189172","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/michigan-wheel-227-xhs-ii-exchangeable-hub-kit-fits-suzuki-johnson-df70a-df80a-df90a-15-spline-4-1-4in-gearcase-flo-torq-ii-compatible","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
