[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3564424, member: 24531"] Yeah, my larger boat has this type of hub too...it is a great idea. both boats have aluminum props but I have not checked if the 50hp has the plastic "safety" hub. But you bring up a good point because I have been wanting to change to stainless to get more mph, but I was worried about the drive shaft if I hit something and an aluminum prop is already cheaper & sacrificial by itself without a hub. If I knew for sure that a stainless prop for the 50hp had this safety hub, then would there be any reason NOT to upgrade? How do you do that and why would you do that? There is some sort of lock bolt with a handle on the motor that I assumed was to lock it in the up position but I never messed with it? Yes, I need to check, but it is still hitting the same mph so I would imagine if the hub broke then it would struggle. [/QUOTE]
