Drive Dyno...
Any one know of a shop with a drive dyno that can dyno one OFF the boat ?? I am working on a drive project and if I could test it on a dyno, it would be much better than trying it out on the water. It is a Bravo based drive.
Thx

I do not know of any marine shops that has a drive dyno specific only to use with it pulled completely. I do know Mercruiser has one that you use. Seen it and seen in use.
The dyno's that many marine shops use are from Land & Sea or International. These forms of dynos are to put a load on the engine mainly for after repairs has been made. They do hook up at the propshaft to simulate running conditions. I would maybe call Land & Sea to give you info of anyone that has one in your area as to what you are looking for.

BUP Thanks but that won't work for what I am trying to figure out. I know the chances are slim to none, but you don't know til you ask right ??
My second option is to just hang a drive on a boat and go run it hard, not stupidly and see what goes first

At a couple of the race shops I worked at , we had Dynos for Transmission and Rear Gears. They Had 50HP AC motors on the Input and Output Shafts. The cost about 250K a pop.
Used the motors working against each other for the load. Just basically used for run in of new R&P and bearings, and gear sets . Couldn't really Durability Test anything.
We used an actual race car and engine , on the Chassis Dyno to try and Break ****.

Also, Superflow makes trans dyno's. I would call them and see if they'll give you a list of places that have them and maybe able to test for you?
