Apparently, Maybach intentionally mis-stamped some of those engines as 260 HP in order to boost their sales compared to the 260 HP Mercedes. Unfortunately, that just adds to the confusion.Originally posted by Leif Holmberg View Post
It's not uncommon for some of the propellers to NEVER be positively identified, even when the engine is known.Comment

Thanks.
That sounds to be a "common" way just to misslead the buyers,the very right PS shoud in this case probebly be close to 245PS instaed of the 260PS as stamped on in the wood.?Comment

This seems to be a good explanation why the propeller are stamped as high as 260PS.

Yes, if that was the application it could indicate that the horsepower was intentionally mis-stated.Originally posted by Leif Holmberg View Post
On the other hand, we've seen a significant number of propellers that were stamped with horsepower numbers that don't correlate with any of the published horsepower ratings for any of those engines.Comment

If it was made for that aircraft (a seaplane) it almost certainly would have had metal sheathing.Originally posted by Leif Holmberg View PostComment
