From: Brian Alley I removed my Catto prop several times each year. Actually every time I remov ed my cowl. This was just the easiest thing to do for me on my aircraft. My p oint is that each bolt should be loosened before it is re-torqued to avoid a ny errors. How often to re-torque the prop depends on what climate you live i n. Annually might be fine in the desert but monthly might be necessary in hu mid areas prone to wide barometer changes. Your airplane, you must decide!!!

Catto recommends a much longer re-torquing interval than the average wood prop anyway, due, I guess, to the fiberclass outer layer of the prop.
