I have a new to me Sensinich prop with only 160 hrs in it and the bolts.

Does anyone here reuse prop bolts?

These are in excellent condition.

I dont see why one cant reuse prop bolts but when you think of it should the prop leave the airplane a few hundred in prop bolts might be small change!

There is absolutely no problem with reusing prop bolts. There are some people that think everything on an airplane is "one-shot". That is simply not true.
Unless there is a specific problem with the bolts, they may be reused many times.
 
Thanks!

Thanks Mel, they seem in perfect shape and as long as not stretched I would think they could be used. The person i bought it from was a great guy.

Thanks again.
