No, that's for a Yamaha props. The way it locks onto the shaft is different. For a Mercury you need a Mercury prop hub kit, like this one:

Your outdrive and bigger sized Merc outboards both use the same prop. I *think* that any Merc outboard 125hp and over are the same as your ourdrive... meaning that the shaft size is the same and the number of splines are the same. I might be wrong on the horsepower size of the outboard, but I know that they use the same prop The adapter/hub kit that Ferm is talking about looks the same as the one in your link to eBay, but the splines may be different on a Yamaha, and the way that it locks the prop to the shaft are different. Stick to Mercury hubs...you'll be ahead of the game in the long run. Cheers mate

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
