Cessna Propeller Upgrades

 

Propeller Upgrades for Cessna 185 series

Includes all Cessna 185 series models s/n 0001 and up (185, 185A, 185B, 185C, 185D, 185E, A185E, A185F – as long as IO-520 engine installed)

Designed for the aircraft owner that needs to replace a propeller prior to engine change or wants to keep an existing engine and improve performance with a propeller upgrade.  This upgrade is approved for all Cessna 185 models, s/n number 0001 and subsequent, wheels or float equipped, as long as the IO-520 engine is installed.  The early model aircraft were standard equipped with an IO-470 F engine.  Since most of these aircraft have upgraded their engines to an IO-520 D engine already via field approval or Kenmore Air Harbor’s STC to install the IO-520, we included these serial numbers with the IO-520 D engine.  There are some other options for the IO-470F equipped planes.

Should your customer upgrade his propeller prior to an engine change, this same propeller, with a minor blade angle adjustment normally can be used with an IO-550 engine at a later time.  Propeller options include the Hartzell 3 blade 80 inch “Top Prop”, the Hartzell 3 blade “Scimitar” or the 80 or 82 inch 3 blade  McCauley “Black Mac”.

  • Hartzell Top Prop (PHC-C3YF-1RF/F8468A-6R (max 80 inch/min 77 inch – so covers the -8R)
