Hello everyone, looking for a MT 3 blade prop for  a LYC IO360....any 
advice on where to look without breaking the bank?......Or,  does anyone have 
another brand they like other than MT??
 
Thanks
M.Brown



What type, electric or hydraulic?  Is the engine  counterweighted?  I have 
invested over 18K in my mt for my IO-360-C1C over  the past 8 years with 
still no workable prop.  It sits again on my  hanger floor fresh from overhaul 
with new blades and that is where it will  stay.  Even though it's zero time 
at this point, I could not sleep at night  pushing it off on someone.  I 
have come to the conclusion that the 180'  firing pulses on the 360 (200hp) 
without counterweights are to violent for the  bearing/seal design of the mt 
as this is what fails after approximately 40-50  hours.
Run Forest; Run!!
A friend with a cozy running a IO-360 is running the Aerocomposit with good 
 results.
FYI,
TEC
