They started to spec steel pins when they put rubber hubs in the props counting on the rubber to give.At our resort I always replaced the steel with brass.I think we saved a lot of money on props doing this.
If you run rubber hubs in really weedy rivers alot it does not take long and the hub starts to spin.Twice I had hay wire the hub to the prop and troll home. On the newer 9.9 drive a piece of limb into the prop hub and troll home.
