Application and hub selection
Quicksilver identifies this family as Q3 90 CT–400 HP. This is a series designation, not a blanket engine-fitment guarantee. Confirm the exact engine model, year, gearcase, propeller-shaft diameter, rotation, clearance and hub requirements before ordering.
Use Flo-Torq SSR HD kit 8M0101603 for the Mercury FourStroke V8 and 350–400 HP Verado applications specified by Quicksilver. This is not the hub for every engine in the family. For applicable 1.25-inch-shaft installations using this kit, engines below serial 2B244273 require a dealer engine-calibration update; verify the exact engine and installation instructions.
Before installation
Choose pitch using your engine manufacturer's recommended full-throttle operating range and your boat's loaded performance. Match the manufacturer-specified thrust washer, drive sleeve, aft adapter and retaining hardware. Follow the engine and hub-kit instructions for installation and torque; do not reuse incompatible hardware.
Package: one propeller in the selected size. Hub kit sold separately. The original right-hand Q3 photograph represents the family; dimensions vary by selected part number.
