Common Concerns Answered
Will this hub fit my propeller?
This Qdib-C hub is specifically designed for Polaris propellers with a 13-spline drive shaft. Verify your existing propeller's spline count matches 13 to ensure compatibility.
Is this hub durable enough for saltwater use?
This hub is constructed with materials intended for marine environments, providing resistance to corrosion and wear associated with saltwater exposure.
Does this include any washers or nuts?
The listing specifies 'Hub Only,' indicating that this product is the central hub component and does not include additional hardware like washers or nuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the spline count for this hub?
This hub features a 13-spline count, essential for matching the drive shaft of compatible Polaris outboard engines.
What is the primary function of a propeller hub?
The propeller hub connects the propeller blades to the engine's drive shaft, transmitting rotational power and often incorporating a shear pin or splined connection to prevent engine damage under excessive load.
Can this hub be used with any propeller brand?
This hub is manufactured by POLARIS PROPELLER USA, INC. and is designed to fit their propellers requiring a 13-spline hub. It is not intended for use with other brands unless explicitly stated by the propeller manufacturer.
How does the spline count affect propeller fitment?
The spline count must precisely match between the propeller hub and the engine's drive shaft. A mismatch will prevent proper installation or lead to slippage and potential damage.
What is the difference between a 'Hub Only' and a 'Hub Kit'?
A 'Hub Only' refers to the central component that interfaces with the propeller shaft and propeller. A 'Hub Kit' typically includes the hub along with additional necessary hardware such as thrust washers, nuts, and cotter pins.
