[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 360295, member: 13702"] There are a few reputable shops that do mail-out replacements for pressed-in hubs (you mail your prop to them & they send it back with a new hub.) I know a friend recommended one to me, I'll ask him tomorrow & find out who/where it was. I believe they were in Florida, but I could be mistaken. Breaking in a pressed in hub is tricky - you have to basically use it gently (barely above idle only) for almost a day before you can start pushing it again. I didn't get that memo, tried using it for the first time in a weed-choked pond, and immediately spun out the new bushing :*( Apparently there is still lubricant between the hub and the prop that needs time to dissolve or wash out prior to applying full torque to it. Learn from my ignorance... [/QUOTE]
