mercury prop spline change????

[ddog]

I have herd some people on the boards say that you can change the mercury props from shall shaft to large shaft. Is this posible on all of them? or just on the new style interchangable hubs. I am talking solid hub here, not bravo's.

[W. Tripp]

The new style props use replaceable metal or plastic hubs that can be changed by yourself with a drop in part.

The older style props use a pressed in hub with a rubber absorber on it. IF you can find a source for the older style hubs that will fit on the larger propshaft, it is easy to get this done. However, I don't know of a source for the hubs to fit the later propshafts.

Many switch the propshaft out for the older style small diameter ones for just this reason.

Thanks W.Tripp.
Does anyone know were I can get the big shaft press in inserts?

Mazco just did a set for me.

Mazco just did a set for me.

John at Mazco quoted me $275 to press out a small shaft hub, machine the prop, install, and weld a large shaft hub in my merc 4 blade cleaver (including the new hub) Mazco (636)-343-9911

Performance propeller in soddy daisy,tn charged $225 to weld in a fat shaft hub on a 29 srx

I talked to Mazco and he said you can go from small to big but not the other way...I don't see why.
My prop had a welded in big hub and I wanted a small hub, he said he can't do it.

[mjwalters]

Hydromotive sells weld in hubs for both small and big shaft. They are fully machined and fit very well

[The Big Al]

Try Performance Props. Soddy Daisy Tenn.


But it might not be cost effective.

[mjwalters]

You may be right I paid around $100 for each hub but I was able to weld them myself

[time warp]

The set of Spinelli's that Performance Propeller welded large shaft hubs in for me are untrustable to me, I've used them twice and both times out they have cracked, both props the first time, one prop the second time and now the prop that was fixed a second time came with a receipt that says "AS IS No more Warrenty"
