    Default Yamaha prop help....


    I bent my propellarshaft and have the lower unit in the shop getting a shaft and seal replaced. Also bent the original Yamaha prop beyond repair. My question is.. for the replacement prop i can eithe ruse a Yamaha prop with pressed in bearing or use a Mercury prop with a rubber hub kit.. just wonder which option is better (less likely to damage a prop shaft)

    Motor is a Yamaha F90TLR and original prop was a 13.75" diameter by 13 pitch.

    I'd say the proof is kinda in the pudding there. If the old Yamaha prop tore up the lower unit then I'd say a new one is going to do the same thing.

    I guessed he banged the lower unit and prop into something….

    The new hub kits have a plastic insert that is designed to break during a hard impact which in theory should save the lower unit components. They work, don't ask me how I know....


    Even though they break, one's never left me stranded.
