Cost for a prop overhaul??

[MATTS875]

Can someone tell me what it costs to have the prop overhauled and when should it be done? I heard 10 years or 2000 hrs..is this correct? it is a 2 blade prop on a 66 mooney E.It only has around 600 hrs currently on it now.Thanks

I am a Mike Busch (savvy) fan and if it doesnt show signs of needing overhaul (corrosion, leaks, operational malfunctions, etc) then do not overhaul it based on time. Overhaul on condition.   You can also do a reseal for about 20% of the cost of an overhaul and you get 80% of the overhaul work.

If you're concerned do get a reseal for maybe half an AMU. Just be very specific that you don't want an overhaul.

Thanks, I do not need one yet just did not know what to expect when I do have to get it done..

Does it have the "b" hub?  Does it need new blades?  Anywhere from 3K to more than a new prop.

It is a 2 blade prop with the 100 hr inspection.  I had the pre-buy done on the plane 2 wks ago and he said everything was fine. I was just wondering what to expect.
