Default Re: Prop Torqueing Method?Procedure Best Known ...

I have been using 37" pounds for wood and 40" pounds on carbon for 8 years now without a problem. When going above these numbers I have found that the wood props will just keep compressing and then eventually crack along the length of the hub. I think 80" pounds is way to much.

I dont use locktite on the bolts either. I have used both methods of washer or no washer under the heads. I personally like the washer better because it does not chew into the alum prop hub plate.

To each his own though???
