Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 Aluminum Propeller, 12-3/4 Inch x 21 Inch Pitch, 3-Blade Right Hand

The Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 is a 3-blade aluminum boat propeller measuring 12-3/4 inches in diameter with a 21 inch pitch and right-hand rotation. Built as part of the Vortex B-Series line, it uses high performance blade geometry with precision balanced blades and a high gloss powder coat finish for durability and smooth running. The propeller is designed around the XHS/XHS II Xchangeable Hub System, which is interchangeable with the Mercury Flo-Torq II hub system, giving boaters a flexible option for replacement or spare propellers. The XHS/XHS II hub kit itself is sold separately and must be matched to the specific engine before installation.

This propeller is recommended for a wide range of boat types, including inflatables, aluminum consoles, walleye boats, offshore singles, pontoons, skiboats, and family cruisers, making it a versatile choice for recreational and fishing boat owners. When installing an XHS/XHS II hub kit, all OEM attachment hardware must first be removed and the shaft taper must be visible before mounting the propeller. Proper installation of the gearcase adapter ring is also required; skipping this step leaves a gap that causes excessive ventilation and poor performance.
