Ideally, changing out a propeller should be a quick and easy job. But a bent or worn-out tab washer can stop work cold unless a replacement is handy. That’s why Turning Point now conveniently includes a tab washer with every one of its 501 hub kits.

The Turning Point 501 hub kit fits Turning Point props, and Michigan Wheel, Solas and Mercury modular/interchangeable props. Although the Mercury tab washer is available as a spare part, it sometimes requires replacement in the midst of a prop change. With this stainless steel washer now included in the Turning Point 501 hub kit, boaters can quickly finish the job and return to the water.

Turning Point offers the industry’s only hub kit and prop housing system with a lifetime warranty on its hubs. It makes changing propellers simple, and over time can provide boat owners with significant savings on replacement costs. Turning Point hubs use a unique one-piece bushing with corrosion-resistant, glass-reinforced nylon over brass splines. A shock-absorbing polymer cushion minimizes vibration and chatter, and reduces gear shock and potential engine/drive damage.

One of the world’s leading propeller suppliers, Turning Point Propellers makes props to fit most outboard and sterndrive engine applications for all manufacturers. Its exclusive online selection tool, Prop Wizard, located at www.tpprops.com, simplifies prop choice.
