MATTS875 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 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.

fantom Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 If you're concerned do get a reseal for maybe half an AMU. Just be very specific that you don't want an overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTS875 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks, I do not need one yet just did not know what to expect when I do have to get it done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Does it have the "b" hub? Does it need new blades? Anywhere from 3K to more than a new prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTS875 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
