Plastic tub to run engine in
Short shaft 4 stroke 9.9hp that I shall be putting on a sack truck with bucket o' water underneath.
The sack truck is the ~£60 blue macallister one oyou get from Screwfix that I've seen folks use. I've used it to trolley motor around already so I know it can take it OK. I shall take steps to ensure stability when engine is running. I've made a wooden stand for the motor that it lives on but because of the amount of vibration etc. while it runs I'd rather trust a welded metal frame than my wooden knock-up.
I've only ever put engine in a wheelie bin of water before and run it, but that made the wheelie bin all funky, and I'd have to lift it quite high so I'm not doing that again. So I'd just like some advice on size. It's quite hard to tell the dimension of bucket from pics and vids of people doing it, and sometimes I think they look like they're sailing very close to the wind they are so small.
How much clearance do you need around the prop and shaft?
tl;dr : Is this tub the right size to run a 9.9hp short shaft 4 stroke in:
