What year did Merc start fat shaft.

[fishnfireman]

Any one know for sure what year they started putting the fat shaft in the sportsmaster ?

Which shaft should a 2002 225X have ?

 

[Darth VMAX]

I don't know what year but I thought all the "X" and XS motors had the fat shaft???

FnF, The 2002 225X has the fat shaft. That is what's on mine and it's 2002.

All of the merc props that fit fat shafts will also fit a small shaft (with the correct hub of course).

I've only seen a couple one-off props that had a fat shaft hub welded in. Everything else for the fat shaft is flo-torq.

So that trophy should fit yours.

Thank's
I was pretty sure ---if it was a Merc. and fit the fat shaft- it would have been made after they went to the flo-torque.
