    new PRO XS

    Quick question on propellor shafts on the new 4 stroke Pro XS and the old 2 stroke. I got a 4 stroke recently, and went to put on a different mercury prop (tempest that i use to pull the kids on the tube) and it wouldnt fit. And the old sleeve i used to use was not the right size either. Did they change the prop shaft size? Is there a new sleeve to use?
    Thanks in advance

    Mine is a 1 1/4" fat shaft. Your prop likely has a 1" shaft size hub.
