Default outboard test tank

In article , Brian Maurer brian@bmau

Hi There

I'm trying to test the operation of an Evinrude 25HP outboard.
The boat is not in the water, presumably I need a tank to test it?
How big would the tank need to be? Any tips or tricks?

Thanks guys




I had a 40 HP Johnson which fitted nicely into a dustbin. Engine on
Shetland, 'dangling' into the dustbin filled with water to the correct
depth. Keep an eye on splash, keep the revs low and keep topping up if
required with a hose pipe.

Mike
