Re: 1975 Mercury 200 20hp Prop Hub

I had to cut one off of my 800 once. I used a cut off wheel and split the hub length wise in two places as the splines will still hold into the hub. This thing must have been a "soaker" (motors left on boats soaking all season) or a salt water motor to have such extreem issues. I have two 75 200’s, one was purchased new by my father and I will keep it forever. I always place some anti-seize on the prop shafts when I install props. You may think it is only going to be on for a little while, but time has a way of getting away.
