I would definitely call them and give them the info on your motor and the wheel and kit you bought. They will let you know for sure what is going on.

OK I called Michigan Wheel, they told me the kit (200) is the correct hub kit, I need to "seat" the hub by hitting it all the way into the prop with a block of wood, or put it all together and tighten the nut down as CAM said. Went out today, tried it, it seated all the way in which was good, still didn't have exposed splines, but had plenty of threads to get only the nut and cotter pin on, ran it everything was fine. The boat ran way smoother, got it up to 5100 ( previously only 4500 )with just me and my son. My concern is that there is no washer. The entire nut is against material, do I need a thin flat washer? I don't know what it would do, the nut is making full contact with the adapter. What do you think? I still have a constant rattling noise that sounds like it is coming from the lower unit, can't figure it out, only hear it above 2500 RPM's, this happened with the old prop too so I know it is not the prop. I don't know what to check.

I know that the OMC kit that I used on my new prop came with the flat thin washer but I did not use it. Absolutely no problems to date. You should be good to go.

I used the boat last night took the boys fishing, before I went out I put a stainless steel fender washer on it. kept checking it throughout the evening to see if anything was loosening up. everything seemed fine. I spoke to a few mechanics around here, nobody seems to use the exchangeable hub system, they all say I should not have to be jury rigging it, the kit should have everything I need. It is not the case I guess. Thanks for yor input.
