Default Locate a PROPSHAFT DYNO in Midwest???

I live in St. Louis but will travel. Trying to solve an ongoing issue that shows its face with engines in boat that's been ongoing for 3+ years . Any references would be much appreciated!

Lets hope not. I don't need to run the piss out of it to find what I'm looking for. But this will save months worth of water testing.... maybe longer :/

You might try Grand Sport Center in Illinois, I think they hooked my buddies boat up to one there when he bought it.

Make sure the dyno setup has a large enough water supply for the motor.

I always wondered why nobody took a propshaft type dyno and modified it to slide through into the gimbal/coupler once you pulled the drive off.
