Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 835257Q12 Reflex Hub Kit gives you smoother operation and better protection for your outboard. It absorbs shock when the prop hits something hard, helping prevent gear or shaft damage. You’ll feel less vibration, quieter running, and more peace of mind when cruising through shallow or debris-heavy waters.

Why Choose OEM

Mercury’s Reflex hubs are built specifically for marine use and tested under real-world stress. Aftermarket copies might look similar but often fit loose or wear out early.

A genuine Quicksilver Reflex hub fits snug, runs quietly, and lasts longer — the kind of dependable part you’ll forget is even there.
