Propeller rubber hub, sleeve, ???

[peternol]

I was inlake at 35mph and I push a little bit more the throtle and suddenly my in line 1150 115 hp 1973 goes almost at full rpms you can heard running. I cut it off right away and wait like 5 minutes to turn it on again and it run good at iddle. As soon I put it to forward it moves good and as I move the throttle again to try to got back to shore it run again so high in rpms. Thanks God at iddle I arrived to shore.<br />Please help me out, the boaters around shore saids that the rubber hub its broken. Its true?<br />Thanks in advance for any help!!!

True!<br /><br />Take the prop to a prop shop and have a new hub pressed in. NOT a DYI job.<br /><br />Chris..........

I just did the same thing with my 115 last week.Was 100.00 for a new hub pressed in,or 150 for a new style prop up here in canada.

Question: Should I get the same rubber hub kit?<br />My Seloc book has 2 or 3 style in different pages and I get a little confuse in the way it looks. Also Where can I get the hub kit for this 1973 1150 inline 6cyl. Serial# 3549794.<br />THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP GUYS.<br /><br />PEDRO MORENO

I wouldnt bother getting the new rubber hub.For 50.00 more or so,you could get the new style prop.The rubber hub has to be pressed out,and the new one pressed in.If you do go this route,you can get the new rubber hub at your local prop shop. good luck

Re: Propeller rubber hub, sleeve, ???

Repeat : NOT A D-I-Y JOB.<br /><br />One of the risks is that the prop will explode as the new hub is pressed in. <br /><br />The new props don't have a rubber hub. It's a plastic, user replaceable, hub.<br /><br />Chris..........

Re: Propeller rubber hub, sleeve, ???

I get the propeller re-hubbed, balanced and painted like new for $120.00. Should I replace the impeller, just in case its more easier at this time before install the propeller back? Im asking because since I get my boat the leaking its very poor even when the last owner told me that he replace the impeller recently.(one year ago) This is normal on this mercury 1150???
