Hey fellow boaties

As the title says I have an aq280 leg and have been looking for a new prop for her. From what I had been reading, all I need to do was to get a prop and then a matching hub kit for it. Now after finding a good deal on a local stainless prop all the info I can find is that it needs to be a volvo prop for it to fit. I am picking the prop up in a couple of days and the only thing the owner can tell me is it came off a suzuki 140 and the pitch of it.

Can I just purchase a rubber hub for it and fit it on???

I know it needs to be a longshaft etc etc but I am unsure until I pick it up. It was a price I am comfortable with in case it won't work on my boat.

Thanks

you need a volvo prop for the 280 leg volvo props do not have replaceable hubs.

I believe those are only for the SOLAS props. The 290SP I have on my shelf has a volvo prop and the hub is permanently bonded to the prop.
