Outboard Test Tank Youtube In this how to how it went video we build an outboard motor test tank that i can use indoors during the cold winter months. i take precautions to make su. Re: make a test tank for large outboards cheap! agreed, for quick tests and smaller motors sounds like a good idea. any larger outboard put in a barrel and run with the prop on, instead of a test wheel prop, is going to empty the barrel in short order even if the water hose is running. for that, you might consider a small medium livestock water.
Outboard Motor Test Tank Sternmaster Marine Tools How to build a $50 outboard motor test tank. Just a quick video on how to turn a 55gallon plastic barrel into a test tank with a test prop. see my other videos for the test prop. Larger motors mounted on an engine stand that gets wheeled up to the tank, then locked together (for use with test propellers). this design is commercially available, but only for smaller motors. smaller motors (say up to 30hp) that get clamped to a transom plate directly on the tank (i.e. typical of traditional test tanks). 21,728. aug 6, 2014. #3. sea rider said: test tanks are messy, oily, need to dispose oily water properly just to name some disadvantages with respect to muffs. happy boating. ummmm, yeah, because when running on muffs, you are just dumping the oil down the driveway or onto the ground.

The problem with a test tank is that all of the water in the tank becomes turbulent (full of air) and you won't be pumping water through your engine. you will overheat and damage your motor very quickly. the test tank you describe (6 cubic feet of water) might work for a small outboard, but it won't work for yours. And finally about the engine: caveat: unless you are a mechanical whiz (and even then), get the help of an experienced boater. the best way to test an outboard engine is in a large barrel (like in the left picture here). you need safely attach a holding plate to the barrel, so you can mount the outboard to it or have some other method to keep.
