    I'm not 100% sure... But I run this kit on my HPDI LU and think yours would be the same... But they recommend part # 8M0075402

    I'm not a prop expert, but this is what I think I know about hub kits for SHO:
    Flo-torq II #8M0075402 is recommended for SHO with 2 piece thrust washer (but my new 4 blade prop came with this kit and the prop chatter was so bad I can't use it...maybe I'm the only one with this problem and maybe it's only because of 4 blade?)
    Flo-torq II #835271Q2 for Yamaha large V6's but does not specifically say for SHO, but I know others with SHO's do use this.
    Flo-torq IV #835271Q09 (eliminates prop chatter...for double the cost) for Yamaha large V6's, but also does not specifically say for SHO. Only one person I've talked to said it might be able to be used for SHO if combined with parts from FT-II kit...???
    Rubex #203X This is similar to FT II but rubber sleeve, not plastic, so it's supposed to reduce prop chatter. However, it's not easy to remove so probably not good if you're trying out several props.

    I just ordered a Rubex kit, but won't be able to try it until spring now. I will post my results for my prop chatter problem after I try it.

    Flo-torq II #835271Q2 Is what I’m finding to be the one I need hopefully
