Locate a PROPSHAFT DYNO in Midwest???

Your request is a little short of what you have and what you are looking to solve... Nothing that is supported by the drive in a brake form will be able to be secured for any hi HP setup, data recording isn't going to be the same as in the test cell or as someone would use on a chassis-dyno. For sure; using the drive with the brake, could break it, our water brakes are designed to load the engine 100% with water force, it's not the same as running a boat with a prop at propeller slip, when considering load...

This one here. Seems the boat has a curse on the port side. About out of money and patience. Have a very few more things to try but everything that been checked on these engines and the old engines tested perfectly fine. But still the port side is lazy. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...ort-motor.html

Oh, yes. make it all adjustable, then make it mount to the trailer or boat... how do you tie the two together for securing it ? one is going to have power input torque the other will be resistance torque.. This would be a job to adapt, into a boat... Just saying

Yes about 3.5hr drive. Be much worth it if I could pin down what is going on. Im not looking to use this to get max hp readings. Already have those. Just need it as a tool to load the engines to compare readings/voltage drops/fuel psi drops ect. Hopefully they keep it at their morris location. Their location up past Chicago is about 5hr drive. Thanks

I had a 99 33' Eliminator Daytona here that would do the same thing . We found a Old Style Gimbal Bearing in that side. It was Loading the Input Shaft Bearings on the Imco SC and also made the drive hotter. You might check to see if the bearing face is flush with the Aluminium Ring , If its not , you have the Pre 1998 Gimbal Bearing. The new 1998 up have one flush face and one protruding face , the old have both faces protruding.

Thanks man. I actually put new gimbals and aligned both engines a few weeks ago. Didn't fix anything even though I thought it would. Had to make new stringer mounts for both engines as they were about 5/8" to high. At least my drives slide on very easy now.




. Any references would be much appreciated!
