Mercury – Flo-Torq II Hub Kit | Johnson & Evinrude V6/V8 Adaptation | Marine-Grade Components | 8M0119082

Overview

Anyone who’s spent enough time on the water knows that a propeller hub isn’t just a chunk of hardware—it’s the quiet protector of your drivetrain. When you throttle forward, trim up, and feel the boat lift onto plane, you want that connection between engine and prop to feel solid and smooth, as if everything beneath your feet is working in perfect rhythm. That’s where the Quicksilver 8M0119082 Flo-Torq II Hub Kit really shines. It gives older Johnson and Evinrude outboards a dependable link to modern Mercury and Quicksilver propellers, bringing fresh life and confidence to engines many boaters still trust.

Key Features

• Complete six-piece Flo-Torq II hub kit designed for proper propeller installation.
• Includes thrust washer, Delrin drive sleeve, splined adapter, tab washer, cotter pin, and prop nut.
• Engineered to cushion the drivetrain and help protect against impact forces from hidden underwater obstacles.
• Built for older V6 and V8 gear case applications with durable, marine-ready materials.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Fits Johnson and Evinrude V6 and V8 outboards (1990 and older).
• Compatible with OMC sterndrives and older gear case platforms.
• Ideal for center consoles, offshore fishing boats, older cuddy cabins, bass boats, and multi-purpose family boats still running legacy power.
• Works with many Mercury and Quicksilver propeller models when used with the proper thrust washer and hardware.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A well-matched hub brings a certain steadiness you can feel the moment you shift into gear. With the Flo-Torq II system, the engagement is cleaner, smoother, and far easier on your drivetrain. If you happen to bump a log in a muddy river mouth or tap a shell bar while easing into a slip, the cushioned design helps protect your propeller shaft from harder shock loads.

The Delrin drive sleeve adds a tight, secure coupling while minimizing vibration. During long runs, the engine tone stays consistent, almost calmer, because the hub absorbs the small chatter that metal-to-metal systems often pass through. Installing the kit is straightforward, especially when using your owner’s manual to verify the correct hardware order. Each component feels purposeful and well-machined—nothing flimsy, nothing questionable.

For boaters restoring older rigs or keeping a legacy engine running strong, this kit brings modern engineering to tried-and-true powerplants. The result is a cleaner drive feel, better impact protection, and the confidence that your prop is properly secured trip after trip.

Why Buy OEM

When it comes to propeller hardware, cutting corners usually ends badly. With an OEM Quicksilver kit, you’re getting parts built to Mercury Marine standards—tested, proven, and trusted worldwide. Everything fits the way it should, and you’re not gambling on material quality or questionable machining tolerances.

Choosing OEM means:

• Guaranteed compatibility with Mercury and Quicksilver props
• Reliable protection against impact damage
• Materials engineered specifically for the marine environment
• Long-term dependability that keeps vintage outboards performing

It’s practical, it’s proven, and it’s the kind of upgrade seasoned boaters recommend without hesitation.
