what's difference between flo-torq and flo-torq 2?

[$$brucemac$$]

or is there one?<br /><br />i'm looking for a semi-used prop and the owner still has the box. it says "flo torq hub kit included" but i'm pretty sure the backup prop for my boat came with a flo-torq 2 kit. is there a difference? it will still work right? do i need some different parts?

Man, I can't remember what the diff is..it may just be the way the fwd bushing fits around the aft, inner piece, I don't remember for sure...

I seem to recall having read somewhere that the FloTorqII is made from a stronger material thus being able to withstand higher torque forces. It should then be better suited for higher horsepower engines as well as diesel engines.<br /><br />I see that http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com doesn't sell FloTorqI anymore, only II, III and HD. Presumably then, I and II are interchangable.
