TEC,

I just had a look at the SB's on the MT web page. My reading of SB16H is that
limitations are dependant on what engine you are running. It looks like there
are *NO* limitations on the prop (MTV-12) if its installed on a Franklin for
example... Mainly the limitations seem to be imposed if you have an IO360
*without* crankshaft dampers.

The limitations seem to be vibration related, so it makes some sense that a 6
cylinder (read smoother) is unaffected whereas a 4 banger may be an issue.
