Turning Point MasterGuard® Hub Installation Kit – Model 28 (11200800)

Turning Point MasterGuard® Hub Installation Kit – Model 28 (11200800)

Protect your outboard’s lower unit with the Turning Point MasterGuard® Model 28 Hub Installation Kit. Designed for 9.9–35hp engines with a 3" gearcase, this hub kit fits inside your Hustler® or Express Mach3® propeller housing and absorbs the impact of a prop strike — so your lower unit doesn’t have to.

MasterGuard is the only hub system in the world backed by a Lifetime Warranty, even if the propeller is destroyed. In most cases the hub is reusable after a strike, and if it’s not, it’s covered. When you need a replacement propeller, you only buy the housing — not the entire assembly — saving up to 33% compared to a full propeller replacement.

What’s Included

• Hub assembly (one-piece marine bronze with glass-filled nylon over-mold)
• Prop nut spacer
• Installation instructions

Key Features

• Lifetime Warranty — the only hub system in the world with this coverage (consumer use; excludes extreme commercial applications)
• Reusable after prop strikes — saves you from buying a full propeller replacement
• One-piece design — marine bronze splines with glass-filled nylon over-mold eliminates failures common in multi-part sleeve-and-spline or pressed rubber hub systems
• Shock-absorbing polymer cushion — reduces gear shock and protects your engine and lower unit
• Patented keyway system — absorbs shift shock and harmful vibrations
• Small-diameter design — allows greater exhaust flow and supports higher horsepower output
• Adapts to OEM thrust washer and prop nut — no special hardware required
• Corrosion-resistant marine bronze splines — built for saltwater and freshwater use

Parts Desk Insights

The Model 28 is one of several 20 Series MasterGuard kits for the 3" gearcase — each covering a different engine application within the 9.9–35hp range. It’s most commonly needed when a customer is building a new Hustler or Express Mach3 propeller setup for a smaller outboard, or replacing a hub after a prop strike. Because multiple Model numbers exist for this gearcase size, always confirm the correct kit against the Turning Point application chart using the engine make, model, and year before recommending one. If the customer is unsure which model they need, compare with the Model 26, Kit 25, Kit 22, and Kit 21 to find the right fit. Remind customers that only the housing needs to be replaced after a prop strike — not the hub — which keeps replacement costs down.
