flo-torque hub or solid hub
 
have always used solid hub type prop on boat (merc 502 magnum)looking to upgrade to mirage plus prop,and i located a flo-torque hub prop at a very good price.will i have any issues?,any differences?

If your motor is stock, the flo-torque should be fine, may even save your propshaft by breaking the hub rather than the shaft if ya ever hit anything.

Old post but similar question. I just bought a 25P M+ with the Flo-Torq hub, and box says Bravo up to 400hp. I have a 502 Mag MPI in an Baja 232, 415hp. I didn't think much of it when I ordered the prop, as I had run Flo-Torq on my previous boats, with less HP.

I like the idea of the Flo-Torq saving from an impact, but is there an issue with running it in the slightly higher HP then recommended?

You'll be fine as long as your engine stays stock or very close to it.

Keep a spare insert in the boat. Eventually you will crack the delrin with your HP.

Thanks, great tip. Just realized my old prop on there was a flo-torq as well. Hub is still with boat in storage, but I am going to guess the delrin is likely worn/cracked now that you brought that up.

You can always make your plastic FloTorq a solid hub with the SS insert.
