125hp Force- Can V20?

[Stillrunning]

One of the funniest things I ever saw boating involved a Force motor. My buddy had a force motor and his battery had gone dead. I was in my V with some friends and offered him a jump but he said it was easier just to pull start the motor. He took off the cover wraped the rope around the fly wheel and gave it a tug. Before we realized what happened we saw this big part go flying and splashed into the water. We look back at the motor and his fly wheel was that object flying through the air. It snaped right off the crank shaft (I think its the crank shaft). I looked back at him and said now I know why they call it a Fly Wheel. I felt bad for him but the 4 to 5 people in my boat and the couple in his were laughing and just could not stop.

When you asked if it was a Bayliner I thought back and this happened before I had my V and I was in a Bayliner. Not sure what kind of boat he was in but it could have been a Bayliner. We actualy had good luck with our Bayliner but it had a Volvo AQ125 I/O with a Volvo 280 lower unit.
