Mercury – Flo-Torq X Hub Kit | Propeller Hub System | Marine Composite | 8M0182970

Overview

There’s a special kind of confidence that comes from knowing the power behind you is connected to the water exactly the way Mercury intended. When you push the throttle forward and feel the boat lift, steady, and run true, you’re reminded that the small parts matter just as much as the big ones. The Mercury Flo-Torq X Hub Kit, part number 8M0182970, delivers that quiet peace of mind — the kind that settles in whether you’re cruising at dawn or charging across open water with a long stretch ahead.

This hub system feels like a natural extension of the V10 outboards it’s designed for. You install it once, feel how clean and secure the propeller engagement is, and immediately understand why experienced boaters trust Mercury’s engineering.

Key Features

• Ideal for offshore center consoles, multi-engine setups, large bowriders, performance coastal boats, and heavy-duty commercial vessels

Performance & Practical Benefits

You’ll feel the difference the moment the propeller loads up. The connection is tight, steady, and surefooted, giving the boat a smooth launch without clunks or hesitation. As speed builds, the hub keeps the prop running true, translating engine power into clean, predictable thrust. When conditions get rough and the propeller re-engages after coming out of the water, the hub absorbs the moment without shocking the drivetrain.

The Flo-Torq X is also built for real-world surprises — the driftwood you did not see, the shallow bump on a murky tide, the kind of stuff every boater experiences sooner or later. Instead of transferring that sudden force straight into expensive drivetrain components, the hub is designed to help cushion the blow, reducing the chance of long-term damage.

Maintenance stays simple because the hub resists wear and stays secure once installed. No constant adjustments. No nagging vibration. Just dependable performance every time you turn the key.

Why Buy OEM

There’s a big difference between something that fits and something that fits right. Mercury Marine parts are designed around the engines they support — not guessed at or adapted later. This hub integrates seamlessly with the V10 platform, ensuring correct tolerances, aligned torque transfer, and the kind of reliability you want when you’re miles from the inlet.

Buying the genuine Mercury Marine part means fewer surprises, better long-term protection, and a system that performs exactly as the engine engineers intended. It’s the practical choice for anyone who wants their boat to run clean and strong without unnecessary repairs or downtime.
