For now, the Yamaha branded props are still using the press-in rubber hubs, but I suspect that will stop soon.
I have always truly disliked the insert hubs and have opted for solid or pressed in hubs whenever possible. Has something changed? I always seem to have trouble with the sleeved hubs. But granted most of what I do is commercial use putting 400 to 1000 hrs. on an engine per year. I do hate the prices and am only running stainless.
