1979 9.8 Hub Replacement

Hi,

I've got a 1979 Mercury 9.8 (SN: 5207193). I need to replace the hub on the propeller, and am having a hard time finding a replacement. It has 8 splines, and the gear case is 2".

So far I can only find a Turning Point #201 hub kit. It has 8 splines, but it says it is for a 2.5" gear case. Most of the websites that sell boat parts don't have much for my motor, and I'm having a hard time determining what I need.

I'd like to not buy a whole new propeller if I don't need to, I just can't seem to find a fit for my motor.

I've done a few basic repairs and some maintenance on my outboard, but am not very experienced. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I'm wondering if I didn't measure the gear case correctly? It seems like the gear case should be 2.5"? I am measuring across the propeller, where the hub would fit in. Is that correct?
