I'm sure most here have seen the instructions from Sensenich concerning installation and care of their wooden propellers. If not, here they are:

I'm running a Sensenich W42CK44 prop on the L-4. I loosen the prop bolts for 24 hours each year during the annual inspection. I then retorque them, being careful to check blade tracking before replacing the safety wiring.

Doing the math, the correct prop bolt torque for installation on my A-65-8F is about 16 ft. lbs. That's 21.7 N-m.
