New guy here... I just recently bought a used High Five prop for my boat. I have a 2006 4.3L Mercruiser that has an aluminum prop on it. I got the High Five to my house, took the current prop off the outdrive and that's when I saw that the High Five was totally different where the prop connects to the shaft. I know that my Mercruiser uses the Flo Torq hub kit and I am wondering if the High Five prop I bought has some other sort of hub kit inside of it that is removeable.
It does fit on the prop shaft as the grooves on the prop shaft fit into the grooves on the prop.

The serial number on the High five is 48-815760-21, the other side says 18

Thanks in advance!

The sleeve that is part of the Flo-Torq will not fit into the prop. This High Five must be an older version that came out before the Flo-Torq was being utilized. The aluminum prop that came with the boat does have the Flo-Torq hub...

A quick google search on the numbers says it's a standard high five.
