Prop question....

Post by Tru-Talker »

Anyone know where I can get a hub pressed into a prop in the Bham area? Gotta prop last year and it has the wrong hub....so it won't work until I can get the correct hub.....

It is....it just has to go under a press and be pushed out.... they are built that way so you can replace $40-$70 hub rather than a $300+ prop....if you hit something.....

I knew some could be changed. Some have the rubber bushing vulcanized to the prop. I'll see if I can find someone.

I'd try J & J Marine in Hueytown and Stuckey's Marine in Mulga if it were me. If they can't do it, you may be able to drop by Barron Machine & Fab in Fairfield or somewhere similar and get them to do it. I know Barron has a press that will do anything you would ever need done. I'll try to check with J & J and Stuckey's when (IF) I get a free moment at work today. Or you can give them a call. I know J & J won't touch my Mercury 20hp because it's "too old" according to them. Stuckey's has done some work for me but I've never had prop work done.

Mike over at Stuckey's said - "If it's the new style square hub we can. If it's the old style rubber hub we have to send those out and have them done."
