Install Prop Governor

Posted on February 8, 2012January 22, 2013 by Jared Yates

This afternoon I installed the propeller governor for hopefully the last time. I used star lock washers and plain nuts. The documentation that I’ve found calls for 200 inch pounds of torque, which seems very tight. I set up the wrench and started tightening and felt like I should probably stop long before I got to the full 200. I did a little bit of research and confirmed that the setting is correct, and that several other builders have also had the same feelings. I measured the length of oil cooler lines that I’ll need, coming up with 11-13 inches for the short one and 23-26 inches for the long one.
