Re: running engine at home

I don't trust muffs.Do to possible operator error.I like a nice big trash can or barrel and get the motor into it as deep as possible.I stick my Merc 500 into it right up to the mounting bracket and fill it to the brim.You can't really put it in gear in a barrel. Any in gear testing needs to be done on the water.
Putting it in gear on muffs proves nothing other than it goes in gear.
