    Ha! Is that why there so many used ones available on the interweb? That's good to know.

    Thanks Texas. Yes that makes sense about pressed hub style being around and must be replaced with same. If I buy an older version I will first find the hub and get that swapped out before finding out the hard way that it was one hole shot away from breaking free. I do like the vibration...

    Hey guys it's been a while since I have posted (so long in fact that I had to fire up a new account). Recently switched to a 1998 150 merc from a 115 on my 1998 20' Trophy. Yah no idea why it had a 115 on it. First test run on flat conditions with as light of a load I would ever run. WOT 6,000...
