Reply To: Test wheels

Test props are surely nice to have, but not that necessary when testing little motors in an adequate test tank set up. Needless to say, using a test wheel can help when having to test run engines at high power settings for extended periods, they put a decent load on the engine without all the erratic water flow in and out of the test tank. I guess I would describe test wheels as “nice to have”, but usually not necessary for smaller outboards.
