Removable hub kits?

I'm pretty new to boating and am making typical mistakes, buying parts before i'm sure they will fit.
Anyway, I bought a Raker 2 polished stainless prop that uses an interchangeable hub, assuming I could easily find a hub and install in on my Volvo SX 19 spline. The Raker 2 uses a TBX hub kit, and i dont think they make a TBX kit for a 19 spline Volvo Penta.

Johnson/Evinrude only list two hub kits on any website ive found:
TBX Propeller Hub Kit P/N 177283 for V6 Evinrude/Johnson Outboards.
TBX Propeller Hub Kit P/N 177288 for V6 Competitor's Outboards.

I notice they don't list anything for inboards or outdrives, will either of these kits fit an SX? The P/N 177288 seems pretty broad, do Evinrude/Johnson outboards use a different shaft that everything else?

Are hub kits generally interchangeable, would I be able to use a Torq Flo 2 hub kit to install this on my 19 spline volvo, or will I have to re-sell this thing on ebay and buy something else?

Re: Removable hub kits?

If the Raker has a square bore hub that will accept a Flo Torq kit you can get the kit for the 19 spline SX drive. Are you sure the Raker is the right style for your boat?

I've seen this part# prop advertised as fitting a Cobra SX, but im not really sure. I already bought it so hopefully i can use it. The plastic cush part of the TBX hub and Torq-Flo hub look about the same shape and size in the pics ive found, but that doesn't really say alot. I'll find out in a few days I guess.

I got a new torq-flo Volvo SX hub kit on ebay for 15.00, maybe it will work.
