[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 422166, member: 13702"] Short of the rickety way I did it (one person driving for me while I hang on the motor & try to check things while under way) how do normal people check and adjust timing on small outboards? I read true test tanks require a test prop to load the motor without moving much water, but as I do not have such a device and they appear to be rather expensive I don't see that as much of an option. Is strapping the boat down tight to the trailer and running the motor on the boat launch safe (provided no debris is around to entangle the motor etc.) so that the motor has a sufficient load on it?
