    Merc Prop on Yamaha?

    Is the Yamaha the same hub kit as the Merc? In other words if one wanted to take the Yamaha Prop off of the 2003 150HP Yammi and then install a Merc Tempest can you use the same exact hub kit?

    Questions are for a friend. Boat is a 2003 Champion Any negatives putting a Merc prop on a Yammi?

    If it's a square bore prop you should be able to use the hub kit in a tempest but most older Yamaha props were pressed in rubber hub props which can't be inter changed. Ask him if it's a Yamaha prop or another brand.

    The hub kits are not the same. All you will have to order is the Yamaha hub kit which is basically a Delrin sleeve, washers and a nut.
