The right hub system does more than just connect your prop to the engine — it protects your drivetrain, smooths out vibration, and helps ensure every ounce of power gets to the water. That’s exactly what the Mercury Quicksilver Flo-Torq II Drive Sleeve - 835290Q1 brings to the table. As part of the Flo-Torq II system, this drive sleeve acts as a buffer, softening sudden shocks from hard shifts or unexpected prop strikes while keeping power transfer sharp and efficient.

Built from high-strength materials, this sleeve handles the extreme torque and rotational force that comes with hard acceleration, quick throttle changes, and high-speed cruising. It’s designed for durability, but if the worst happens — like a prop strike — it’s easily replaceable without changing the entire propeller. That quick-swap design keeps you flexible when switching props to match changing water conditions, making it a smart, reliable piece of gear to have onboard.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Engineered for Mercury and MerCruiser engines using the Flo-Torq II hub system
• Dampens vibration and protects lower unit gears from sudden impacts
• Built to withstand high torque and aggressive throttle use
• Modular design allows quick replacement without changing the entire prop

Best Uses:

1. Protecting your drivetrain from damage caused by sudden prop strikes or shifting loads
2. Reducing prop vibration for smoother performance and better handling
3. Simplifying prop changes to quickly adapt to varying water conditions

Power delivery, drivetrain protection, and flexibility — this drive sleeve ties it all together, keeping your prop system running smooth and ready for anything.
