It supplies the exchangeable cushioning hub system that protects the lower unit by allowing the propeller hub to spin under sudden shock loads, such as hitting debris or shifting gears abruptly, rather than transmitting that impact directly into the gearcase. At the core of the kit is a Delrin cushioned sleeve that absorbs the impact and stress of shifting and protects the drivetrain from damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hub kit is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings and is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, making the 228 a practical option for outboard owners who need a replacement hub or want a spare on hand. The kit ships as a single ambidextrous unit finished in gold. It installs as part of a standard propeller hub replacement or rebuild and is intended for use with the specific Evinrude E-TEC G2 15-spline G2 gearcase fitment noted below.\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 228\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\/Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\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\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 x 4 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\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\u003eHub System Interchange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Flo-Torq II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014984022019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEvinrude E-TEC G2 outboards with 15-spline G2 gearcase\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers apply to this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat outboards does the Michigan Wheel 228 hub kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 228 is built for Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards equipped with the 15-spline G2 gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 228 an exchangeable hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Michigan Wheel 228 is part of the XHS II Xchangeable Hub Kit series, which uses a replaceable Delrin cushioned sleeve rather than a fixed hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Delrin cushioned sleeve do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It absorbs the impact and stress created by shifting gears, allowing the hub in the 228 kit to spin under significant shock loads to protect the lower unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Michigan Wheel 228 work with a Mercury Flo-Torq II prop?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 228 hub kit is interchangeable with Mercury's Flo-Torq II hub system, so it can be used as a compatible replacement within that hub interchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat prop housings is this hub kit designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 228 is designed for use with Vortex and Apollo prop housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 228 hub kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 228 hub kit weighs 1.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 228 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The item measures 5 x 4 x 2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pieces come in the 228 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes 1 hub kit unit for the Evinrude E-TEC G2 15-spline gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Michigan Wheel 228 hub kit side-specific (port or starboard)?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 228 hub kit has an ambidextrous hand orientation and is not side-specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Michigan Wheel 228 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a gold finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 228 come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel 228 hub kit is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 228 hub kit made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hub kit is made of rubber and includes a Delrin cushioned sleeve as the cushioning component.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan Wheel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991274959067,"sku":"MIW-228","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__08886.1722350060.500.750.jpg?v=1785188511","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/michigan-wheel-228-xhs-ii-hub-kit-for-evinrude-e-tec-g2-15-spline-g2-gearcases","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
