There’s a huge difference between trying to pull them over on a stand (d….d near impossible) and standing in a boat.I regularly run RDs and even at 75 have no problem pulling them over.Leverage is the key.

I think you are right.  Trying to pull one of these engines over on a stand is near impossible.  The engine is not stable on the stand, and is usually too high to get good “leverage” when pulling the rope.   I’m betting it will be OK once mounted on a boat or in a low rigid/sturdy test tank…
