Default Correct torque for a 2-blade M/T prop?

Hi.

Anyone knows the torque for a M/T prop?

My prop is: MT-Propeller MTV-15-B/183-402 w/ P-470-1 Spinner

Thanks!

I'm not able to find anything about prop torque in the manual....??

Hi Alf,
I happen to have the manual in front of me...The prop bolts are torqued 63-66 ft/lbs (85-90Nm). That came from page 19 of the manual, upper half of page.
