Originally the Ovation had a 3 blade McCauley. Then the Ovation 2 had a 2 blade McCauley. Then the Ovation 3 had a three blade Hartzell. There's also an STC for a MT 4 blade propeller. All of these can be used on any of the Ovations made. Which prop are you looking for?

You can't use the McCauley two blade or three blade with that STC.
Schllc Posted April 16 Report Posted April 16 @kasm i have this prop which will work for either 280 or 310 for sale it is listed in the parts forum PHC-J3YF-1RF / F7693DF 1

LANCECASPER Posted July 21 Report Posted July 21 Never seen an Ovation 2 with a 2 blade!Starting in 2000 the Ovation 2 had a two blade prop from the factory to achieve a higher cruise speed. That’s what the “upgrade” was from the Ovation to Ovation 2.https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2000/february/pilot/mooney-ovation2

The O2 came with a two blade optimized for cruise performance. I upgraded to a 3-blade when I added the 310hp STC. Ironically, the plane with a two-blade is a bit faster. Take-off performance not so much.
Aaviationist Posted July 21 Report Posted July 21 You need to ask a mechanic and or prop shop what you need. “an ovation propeller” is not a part number, won’t appear in the TCDS or any STC paperwork.
