I switched to one on an 8 with 180hp;took off a Sensenich solid metal.Would have gone to constant speed,but have a solid crank.It performs at least as well as before,but I can fine tune it for the best compromise of takeoff performance vs. cruise.Spinner fit well out of the box.Took several pitch adjustments to get a happy medium.
