found this in my folders from when it was posted by Merc racing. Over on the right, click on the pic and you can see Merc outdrive dyno plus a good read as well. Passing it along to whomever.

The problem I see isn't trying to simulate the torque an engine can produce, it is trying to simulate the torque spikes that are seen upon re-entry. Depending on the power in the boat, these spikes could be north of 4,000 ft lbs......

BUP. Thanks for that great link. Very informative for me.

Thanks !!!

No problem there, a hydraulic pump and valve can apply a lot of torque in an instant. $$$$'s though.
