Quicksilver Reflex Propeller Hub Kit for 40–60hp Outboards - 835257Q12, Flo-Torq Shock-Absorbing Hub

The Quicksilver 835257Q12 Reflex Propeller Hub Kit is a Flo-Torq replacement hub system designed to protect your 40–60hp outboard drivetrain while keeping your propeller field-serviceable and responsive.

Quicksilver engineered the Reflex hub kit to pair with compatible propellers and outboards, providing cushioned driveline protection and straightforward maintenance. The kit fits most 40–60hp engines when matched to the correct hub selection and is intended as a durable, replaceable component to reduce shock transfer from impacts and improve serviceability on the water or in the shop.

How does the Reflex hub kit protect my outboard drivetrain?

The Flo-Torq design in this kit uses a torsionally flexible insert that absorbs sudden loads from strikes or snags, reducing force passed to the gearbox and drive components. That cushioning effect helps limit costly damage to seals and gears, making it a preventative upgrade for commonly struck propellers.

• Torsionally flexible insert to absorb shock
• Reduces peak torque transmitted to the lower unit
• Helps prevent gear and seal damage from sudden impacts

Will this hub kit fit my 40–60hp outboard?

The 835257Q12 is specified for use with most 40–60 horsepower outboards but relies on correct hub selection per your propeller and motor model. Check the hub selection grid for exact compatibility, spline counts, and any manufacturer notes before installing to ensure a proper fit.

• Designed for a broad 40–60hp range
• Confirm spline count and hub type with selection grid
• Field-serviceable for straightforward replacement

How easy is installation and field serviceability?

The kit is built to be field-serviceable so you can replace worn or damaged hubs without specialized shop tools. Typical installation requires removing the propeller, swapping the hub, and reinstalling—making it practical for on-the-water repairs or routine maintenance.

• Simple hub swap procedure—remove propeller, replace hub, reinstall
• No special tooling typically required for routine changes
• Designed for repeatable field servicing and quick turnarounds

What performance or maintenance benefits should I expect?

While not a performance propeller by itself, the Reflex hub kit contributes to drivetrain longevity and consistent propeller engagement, which can preserve handling and efficiency over time. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the hub insert help maintain those benefits.

• Helps maintain drivetrain integrity after impacts
• Supports consistent propeller engagement and feel
• Extends service intervals for lower-unit components

Who is this for: The Quicksilver 835257Q12 Reflex Propeller Hub Kit is aimed at recreational boaters, fishing guides, and fleet managers using 40–60hp outboards who want a durable, serviceable hub solution to reduce damage from accidental strikes. If you prioritize protecting the lower unit, prefer in-field repairs, or need a compatible replacement hub for a Flo-Torq–style propeller system, this kit is a practical choice. Always confirm hub selection against your propeller and motor model before purchasing or installing.
