Turning Point Hub Kit #801F

The Turning Point Hub Kit #801F features the MasterTorq 800 Series SDH Sound Dampening Hub, a hybrid propeller hub system engineered by Turning Point Propellers to combine the vibration isolation of traditional pressed-in hub technology with the serviceability and drop-in convenience of modern modular designs. This hub kit delivers shift shock dampening and rotational vibration reduction critical for marine propulsion systems requiring smooth, reliable operation across variable load conditions.

The hybrid hub construction addresses a core challenge in marine propeller systems: balancing shock absorption during acceleration and gear transitions against the need for easy replacement and maintenance without specialized pressing equipment. The MasterTorq 800 Series SDH hub integrates elastomeric dampening elements within a removable cartridge design, allowing operators to diagnose wear, replace components, and perform field service without removing or re-pressing the entire hub assembly. Weighing 2.3 lbs with compact dimensions of 3 x 3 x 6 inches, the hub kit maintains a low profile suitable for various vessel configurations while preserving structural rigidity under operational stress.

This hub kit is designed for recreational and commercial marine operators who prioritize both durability and maintainability. Boaters running higher-horsepower outboards or those operating in demanding conditions—towing, variable water states, or extended use—benefit from the reduced drivetrain stress and extended hub lifespan the dampening technology provides. The drop-in design philosophy means downtime for hub service is measured in minutes rather than the hours required by traditional pressed-hub replacement, a critical advantage for operators who rely on their vessels for work or extended recreational deployment.

Turning Point Propellers positions the MasterTorq series as a premium upgrade within the propeller hub market, targeting users who understand that hub quality directly impacts fuel efficiency, vibration signature, and long-term gear durability. The 800 Series represents mid-range performance within that lineup, offering measurable dampening benefits without the extreme engineering of specialized racing or commercial-duty hubs. For operators evaluating hub kits, the SDH hybrid design bridges traditional and modern technology, making it suitable for anyone seeking performance gains with practical serviceability.
