Can a Flo-Torq II be spun?

[BRG25]

According to this document:<br /><br /> http://www.mercurymarine.com/chapter_2_-_basic_propeller_parts2 <br /><br />

Flo-Torq II Shock-Absorbing Delrin® Hub<br />Patented hub system designed to resist slippage, yet flex during engine shifting and cushions the drivetrain upon underwater impact. The Flo-Torq II system makes Mercury Propellers compatible with almost all marine engines.

There are three types of hubs: one with a Flo-Torq rubber hub (round or square) (Figure 2-2), the second with a Flo-Torq II Delrin hub system (Figure 2-3), and a solid hub (Figure 2-4) which are generally used on racing engines.

So if a prop with the Flo-Torq II is spun you just replace the plastic insert correct? I'm looking at a prop that the owner claims need a new delrin sleeve because it has spun.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Brian

Thanks Kenny, so just to clarify, a prop using a Flo-Torq II has no rubber in it at all?

No, the hub material (sleeve) is composite plastic.

See the picture at the bottom of this page:<br /><br /> http://www.mercurymarine.com/flo-torq <br /><br />The hub is the black plastic piece labeled "Delrin Sleeve".
