Depending how bad the rubber hub is, you can sometimes press it out. Clean the prop internal area for left over rubber and clean the rubber hub with acetone as well as the prop several times. Then use super glue to reset the hub, by repressing the hub back in. Hold the pressure of the press against the hub until cruded.
I had a new old stock 18hp 1958 prop that spun, the rubber was about prefect and the super glue worked on the first try of a 16 mile lunch cruise to the resturant and back with no problems.
Otherwise you have to to pin the hub. Use at least use a 1/4 inch diameter (28 pitch would be preferred) bolt through the front end of the prop to get into the brass hub near the shear pin area, between the blades.
