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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\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 992116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vortex B-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right Hand (RH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High gloss powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub System:\u003c\/strong\u003e XHS\/XHS II Xchangeable Hub System (hub kit sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 x 15 x 17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014984015844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inflatables, aluminum consoles, walleye boats, offshore singles, pontoons, skiboats, family cruisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 propeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 992116 measures 12-3\/4 inches in diameter with a 21 inch pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 992116 a left-hand or right-hand propeller?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a right-hand (RH) rotation propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many blades does the Vortex 992116 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has 3 aluminum blades with high performance blade geometry and precision balancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 992116 include a hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 uses the XHS\/XHS II Xchangeable Hub System, and the hub kit is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this propeller made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 992116 is made of aluminum with a high gloss powder coat finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 992116 compatible with Mercury Flo-Torq II hubs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the XHS\/XHS II hub system on the 992116 is interchangeable with the Mercury Flo-Torq II hub system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of boats is the Vortex 992116 recommended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is recommended for inflatables, aluminum consoles, walleye boats, offshore singles, pontoons, skiboats, and family cruisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 992116 propeller weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 weighs 6.65 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the packaged dimensions of the 992116?\u003c\/strong\u003e The product dimensions are 7 x 15 x 17 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to remove anything before installing the hub kit on the 992116?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, all OEM attachment hardware must be removed before installing an XHS\/XHS II hub kit on the 992116, and the shaft taper must be visible before mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if the gearcase adapter ring is not installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Failure to install the gearcase adapter ring leaves a gap that causes excessive ventilation and poor performance on props like the 992116.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Michigan Wheel Vortex 992116 a genuine manufacturer part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 992116 is the genuine Michigan Wheel part number for this Vortex B-Series aluminum propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan Wheel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991278792923,"sku":"MIW-992116","price":129.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/MIW-992116__50967.1772547073.500.750.jpg?v=1785188189","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/michigan-wheel-vortex-992116-aluminum-propeller-12-3-4-x-21-pitch-3-blade-rh-xhs-xhs-ii-interchangeable-hub-system","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
