I`m having the same problem with a predator prop off a merc. going on a 97 fast strike 150. What hub kit do i need ?

if its a pressed in hub can you not drill out the splines on the back of the prop where it will go down farther on the shaft ?

Done a search on the net using various prop selector programs and I have just ordered Flo-Torq 2 kit 835265Q02 from ebay I think this is correct hub kit for my black max prop will let you know once it arrives and have fitted it.Dont know if I would fancy drilling splines though.

One inch reamer with drill press,I used to know how much to ream, just measure and ream. I've done it many times.

i believe you can,there was an article back some years ago in bass and walleye mag about this,they had a list printed about how to drill and what thrust washer to use with them,don't know if you could still find the article or not..
