Michigan Wheel Hub Kit 218 for Evinrude/Johnson 20-35 HP Outboard Motors
The Michigan Wheel Hub Kit 218 is a replacement propeller hub kit built for Evinrude and Johnson outboard motors in the 20-35 HP range. A hub kit adapts a Michigan Wheel propeller to the specific splined drive shaft of the outboard, allowing the prop to be mounted securely on engines it was not originally bored for. This kit is constructed from bronze and polyurethane, materials chosen for their corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments and for absorbing the shock and vibration transmitted through the drive train during operation. Bronze components provide long-term wear resistance at the metal-to-metal contact points, while the polyurethane element cushions engagement and helps protect the gearcase from shock loading if the propeller strikes an object. Hub Kit 218 is sold as a single unit intended for use with compatible Michigan Wheel propellers rated for 20-35 HP Evinrude and Johnson outboards. It is a straightforward, mechanic-installable part for boat owners maintaining or upgrading their propeller setup without replacing the entire propeller assembly.
