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.

Surely there is someone here that knows the answer to my question.

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:

Thanks for the chart. 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.

Thanks for that.  I was told they were not made anymore.
