Michigan Wheel Apollo props

The pontoon with the Yamaha 250 came with a Apollo prop. *It's a stainless 14x21, and has the XHS system that uses an adapter that fits the prop shaft of the motor, a rubber/metal/plastic hub, and then the prop fits on that. *It makes the props universal, you just buy the hub kit for your motor. Anyone have any experience or feedback to offer on these? *I ask because I evidently stripped the hub on mine Sunday. *Running in 60 feet of water at 3600 rpm, I throttled up to about 4500, and as it was coming up the motor suddenly wound up and bounced off the rev limiter as the boat fell flat. *Shut down, checked the prop, it's perfect, started back up carefully pushing the throttle forward, and it slips again. *Was headed back in anyway, so I idled back in. Will be pulling the prop this evening, and I have a new hub to install. *The dealer tells me they've seen one other one that chewed the hub up recently for no reason. I'm thinking of pushing for a new Yamaha prop. *Don't trust the Apollo now. Don't blame you, I think that's what I'd do. |
