Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a propeller hub kit?
A propeller hub kit's primary function is to connect the propeller to the engine's driveshaft while absorbing shock and vibration from the engine, thereby protecting the propeller and drivetrain components.
What materials are typically used in a marine hub kit?
High-quality marine hub kits, like this Turning Point model, commonly utilize durable rubber for vibration dampening and robust steel or aluminum for structural integrity and shaft engagement.
How does a hub kit prevent drivetrain damage?
The rubber insert within the hub acts as a sacrificial element, designed to deform or shear under extreme shock loads, such as striking submerged objects, thereby preventing catastrophic damage to the propeller shaft, gears, and lower unit.
What is the significance of the MPN 11602100?
The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) 11602100 is a unique identifier assigned by Turning Point Propellers to this specific hub kit model for inventory and reference purposes.
How often should a propeller hub kit be inspected or replaced?
Regular inspection of your propeller hub kit is recommended, especially after striking an object or if you notice any signs of excessive vibration or noise. Replacement is advisable if the rubber shows signs of cracking, tearing, or significant wear.
