SpencerT Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Don’t know if this is the right forum for this request, but I am looking to purchase a used prop for a Bravo. Barring finding a used prop, I am thinking of purchasing a new MT but after reading everything in mooneyspace about doing so, I am not sure. Question; does the M20M cowling have to be modified at all if I do purchase an MT? Quote
carusoam Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Welcome aboard, Spencer T! You have come to the right place... I know we have a member with an MT on his Bravo... I don’t remember hearing anything about people modifying the cowling for any MT... on any Mooney... Lets see if we can find who knows what... Best regards, -a- Hmmm... little bit of a challenge... the word MT is too short for part of the search function... it captures a few extra things... other than MT... causing a hand search to be needed...

FoxMike Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Installing an MT prop on a Bravo does not require any mods to the cowling. Putting the lower cowl on with the 4 blade prop takes a little extra care. The original prop I owned has been sold. 1 Quote

How soon do you need one? Are you AOG? Quote

HXG Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I recently put my used 3 blade Mccauley Bravo prop on consignment at Rocky Mountain Propellers in Erie, CO. It may be available for sale. I just upgraded to the 4 blade MT prop when I put in a factory reman engine. The MT prop is awesome- quiet, smooth and added climb performance with at least no cruise speed loss, if not faster. The MT prop may take several months to get so plan way ahead if go that route.

SpencerT Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Posted November 21, 2020 Thanks HXG, I have sent them an email to see if its still available Quote

SpencerT Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Posted December 9, 2020 I want to take a moment to thank HXG for offering up his used prop which I now have and after a fresh coat of paint will be going on my Mooney M20M Bravo tomorrow. It seems the Bravo prop is a very rare commodity since it is specific to the model. Thanks again HXG, and if you are ever up in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia please give me a call, I owe you big time. Cheers SpencerT 3 Quote
