The hub kit fits between the propeller and the propeller shaft, absorbing the sudden torque spikes that occur during gear engagement, shifting, and sharp throttle changes. By cushioning these impacts, it reduces gear shock and helps prevent damage to the engine and drive components over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVibration and chatter at the propeller are also minimized, giving a smoother ride and reducing wear on shaft bearings and seals. The kit is built with corrosion resistant brass splines and a nylon body, a combination that stands up to constant exposure to saltwater and freshwater environments while maintaining a reliable, low-slip connection between the propeller and shaft. This construction is designed to eliminate spun hubs, a common failure mode where the inner hub spins freely inside the propeller barrel and causes loss of thrust, and it also helps end hub cracking that can occur with lower-quality hub systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hub kit is sized as a 501 and is designed specifically for MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One drives, 1983 and newer. It is finished in black and supplied as a single unit for one propeller installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turning Point Propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11500100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass splines and nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.8 x 2.85 x 2.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 652480200502\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single (1 count)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One drives, 1983 and newer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 11500100 hub kit fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This 501 hub kit is designed for MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One drives, 1983 and newer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a propeller hub kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e A hub kit sits between the propeller and the propeller shaft to absorb shock and vibration during gear shifting and throttle changes, reducing stress on the engine and drive components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size hub does part number 11500100 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 11500100 is a 501 size hub, matched specifically to MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One drives, 1983 and newer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat materials is this hub kit made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built with corrosion resistant brass splines and a nylon body, a combination suited to continuous exposure to boating environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this hub kit stop my propeller from spinning on the shaft?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the design of the 11500100 hub kit is intended to eliminate spun hubs, where the inner hub loses grip and spins freely inside the propeller barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this hub kit help with propeller vibration?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 501 hub kit minimizes propeller vibration and chatter by cushioning the connection between the shaft and propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 11500100 hub kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Turning Point Propellers 11500100 hub kit weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 11500100 hub kit is finished in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this hub kit sold as a single unit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 11500100 is sold as a single hub kit for one propeller installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this hub kit be used on drives other than MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 11500100 501 hub kit is specified for MerCruiser Alpha One and Bravo One drives, 1983 and newer; other drive and engine combinations use different Turning Point hub part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 11500100 hub kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hub kit measures 5.8 x 2.85 x 2.85 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this hub kit help prevent hub cracking?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the brass-spline and nylon construction of the 11500100 is designed to end hub cracking that can occur with lower-quality hub systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turning Point Propellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031619477723,"sku":"TUR-501","price":52.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41AmC8ZmgcL.jpg?v=1785216028","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/turning-point-propellers-11500100-501-hustler-hub-kit-for-mercruiser-alpha-one-and-bravo-one-drives-1983-and-newer","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
