Description
Turning Point Hub Kit #206 (Manufacturer Part Number: 11100601) is a drop-in installation kit engineered for Evinrude, Johnson, and Suzuki outboards equipped with a 2.5-inch gearcase and a 10-spline prop shaft. This specialized one-piece hub system incorporates a marine bronze splined spindle over-molded with a glass-filled polymer cushion to dampen shift shock, eliminate propeller chatter, and safeguard the lower unit gear train during impacts.
Engine Compatibility Details
The #206 kit matches specific small-horsepower outboards. It is highly variant-dependent and fits the following configurations:
- Evinrude & Johnson: 9.9 HP and 15 HP 4-Stroke models manufactured from 2002 to present (10-spline models).
- Suzuki (Type M):
- DT 2-Stroke: 9.9 HP (1983–1987 models only) and 15 HP / 15C variants.
- DF 4-Stroke: 8A, 9.9, 9.9A, 9.9B, 15, and 20 HP models (2012 to present).
- Exclusion: This kit will not fit Suzuki DT 8C and 9.9C models produced between 1988 and 1997.
Core Technical Specifications & Design Benefits
- Propeller Housing Cross-Compatibility: The outer geometry of the hub adapts Turning Point's Hustler (aluminum) and Express (stainless steel) housings to your motor. It can also fit alternative exchangeable-hub propeller housings from brands utilizing the Mercury Flo-Torq II, Michigan Wheel XHS, or Solas Rubex hub footprints.
- Drivetrain Protection: The inner high-tech polymer acts as a sacrificial cushion during prop strikes. This prevents spun hubs and isolates vibration without the risk of plastic stress cracking.
- Exhaust Optimization: Features a small-diameter design that maximizes the hub's internal cavity space, encouraging cleaner exhaust gas flow and maximizing engine horsepower output.
- Manufacturer Lifetime Warranty: Turning Point covers these MasterGuard hub inserts with a lifetime replacement warranty for recreational boaters, covering the hub component even if the outer propeller housing is completely destroyed.
