How much will an overhaul cost?
The cost of an overhaul depends on the type of
prop that you have and the condition of your propeller. At the Hartzell Service Center, we
have established a base overhaul price for every model of propeller. This base price
includes the labor required to overhaul the propeller and the parts that are required to
be replaced at overhaul. The base price does not include the replacement of other parts
such as blades or hubs. To obtain the base rate price to overhaul your propeller, identify
what propeller model you have and then contact the Service Center by phone, fax or e-mail.
Will my prop overhaul for the base
price?
This question cannot be answered without
beginning the overhaul process. Some factors that can lead to retirement of major parts
include: age of the material, the number of previous overhauls, not following
Hartzell’s recommended maintenance practices, operating from unimproved strips or on
floats and operating in harsh environments such as salt air.
How long will it take to overhaul
my prop?
The answer depends on whether you use our
exchange service. If you utilize exchange, the down time is generally 1 day. In other
cases, it takes about 2 weeks for us to overhaul your propeller.

Why should I overhaul my prop at
the calendar limit if I still have many hours before I hit the hours limit?
Hartzell’s overhaul recommendation
includes both a calendar limit and hour limit. While some factors, such as fatigue, are a
function of hours of operation, other factors, such as corrosion, are functions of the
passage of time. As a result, Hartzell has established both calendar and time limits in
its overhaul recommendation.
