Since I received no responses to an earlier posting, I thought I would
follow up.
I have a Velocity XL with an MT constant speed prop. When doing my c
onditional I discovered a small amount of grease seeping out around one seal. It had
not discolored the blade, but had stuck inside the spinner.
In researching MT maintenance, I discovered that the prop has a TBO of 6
years or 1800 hours, whichever is earlier. I also learned that the governor has
a TBO of 7 years.
I asked what action anyone else has taken with regard to this.
I received no responses, but have communicated with MT, and they confirm
that this is still the TBO. I have scheduled prop removal and will deliver it to
them for overhaul, along with the governor. Cost will be around $3,000 and
they say about 3 weeks. Lots of money, but want to be safe amd legal.
