BrendAn Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Can anyone tell me what tension I need for a sweet apple prop on a 582. From what I can find on the net 200 inch pounds may be it but there is a lot of conflicting info out there. Tia.
BrendAn Posted June 17, 2023 Author Posted June 17, 2023 Surely there is someone here that knows the answer to my question.
pluessy Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 I would check other manufacturers data that make wooden props. Main criteria is bolt size and some times hub thickness. Wood type could also have some influence: From Culver props (left) and Catto (right):

I don't think the sweet apple prop maker is around any more. There must be people on here that have owned s a props. They were Aus made. I think I will go with the 144ip on your chart and see if it holds that torque.
