Unknown Prop Hub Style

[Peelz]

All I have a spun Michigan Wheel "rapture" prop. I estimate 12 yrs old. Brought it to work, pressed out the bad one...expecting to see the usual square shape center then just order the XKS kit.... But, Its round, with sharp ribbed edges inside. never really seen one like it!

Prop still in good shape, so Id like to keep it. but, I have NO clue which hub kit to purchase. mercruiser 15 spline.


any help is appreciated.

if it isnt ringing any bells, Ill take a photo tomorrow.

being round....could have been bonded.... in that case, buy a new prop.

You've checked with Michigan Wheel?

You've checked with Michigan Wheel?

yes, theyve responded. asking exact model # so hoping to save it still. Otherwise, just get a new aluminum one. Were not that serious of mariners

Prop part number is what they are asking for I believe.

prop part was 033076. they got back to me with hub #65-322 im striking out on that. Or use HMS hub VS16-70. finding evidence of its existence at least, but none for sale yet.

Rapture is a good high performance prop. I had one for many years, and it held the water under high trim, and gave good top and low end performance After many years, the hub did spin, but a prop shop had no issue repairing it.
