cobra marty;
That is a good idea, how do you plan to measure torque? The land and sea device?

A torque strain measuring device similar to but better than L+S will attach to drive shaft yoke. Will have the real time digital display and analog output for data logging capability.

I like the idea and would be interested in knowing how it will work. How will you compensate for different props, water, and such. These variables would seem to play a big role in torque measured.

Check out www.land-and-sea.com on board dyno. Good explaination on how it works. Basically measures the twist of a shaft.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. Would like to know if anyone has a prop shaft dyno in the upper midwest.

Audiofin. What brand of dyno is the one that your buddy has?

We have one at CMI. Used for quick muffler backpressure tests and some development work. Easier and sometimes more accurate than using the test boats.
