Mercury – Flo-Torq II Hub Kit | Volvo SX Sterndrive Adaptation | Marine-Grade Components | 8M0119083

Overview

There’s a certain peace you feel when your prop engages cleanly—no chatter, no hesitation, just a smooth push as the bow starts to rise. That kind of confidence doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from knowing the right parts are in place, doing their job quietly and reliably beneath the surface. The Quicksilver 8M0119083 Flo-Torq II Hub Kit delivers exactly that for Volvo SX sterndrives, giving boaters a dependable connection between their engine and propeller that feels steady every time you shift into gear.

Whether you’re easing away from the dock at sunrise or cruising back in with a cooler full of fish, this hub kit keeps the drivetrain protected and responsive, even when the water throws surprises your way.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A good hub kit does more than hold the propeller in place—it transforms the way your boat feels. With the Flo-Torq II system, gear engagement becomes smoother, vibration is reduced, and the entire propulsion setup feels tighter and more refined. The Delrin drive sleeve absorbs minor impacts and torque spikes, helping protect the drivetrain from sudden loads that can occur when you encounter a sandbar, floating timber, or rocky shallows.

On the water, that translates into steadier acceleration, quieter shifting, and a more secure connection between engine and propeller. Installation is straightforward, and once everything is torqued down properly, the system runs with the kind of reliability seasoned boaters appreciate—predictable, solid, and built to last.

Why Buy OEM

Choosing an OEM Quicksilver hub kit means choosing parts engineered specifically for the marine environment. These components aren’t generic—they’re built to the same quality standards Mercury Marine applies to its own propulsion systems. That means better fit, longer life, and fewer headaches.

Here’s why fellow boaters stick with OEM:

• Designed to fit Mercury and Quicksilver props perfectly.
• Built for long-term durability in both fresh and saltwater.
• Lab-tested for performance, strength, and impact protection.
• More cost-effective over time compared to aftermarket options that wear faster or fit poorly.

When you rely on your boat for weekend escapes, fishing trips, or family cruising, OEM parts simply make more sense.
