If you keep your boat on a trailer, you don't need one. Just secure the boat so it can't move forward, back it down a ramp,and start the motor ... you can run it at high power settings this way safely. Test wheels other than buying through a dealer, are hard to come by.

Check your local laws first. Some areas don't appreciate that. It can be pretty rough on the ramp.

Yes, I do know that keeping the boat on the trailer is a good way to run tests; but I am an 1 1/2 hours from water that I can even put the 70 hp in, without paying a substantial ramp fee. All other public waters close by have a horse power limit.
I do however have a tank.
Thanks for the the other part number to try. I'll give it a go.
