Hello, kindly requesting information from a knowlegable person. I have a '72 evinrude 125 which had the cd pulse pack. I converted it to a points type ignition system from a '69 85hp. All that has worked fine. My question is are thge flywheels on the Evinrude v4's balanced to the crankshaft or independently, because although the motor runs fine with both, I'd like to use the 85hp flywheel because it is much cleaner i.e. oxidation etc. But noting the holes drilled underneath for balancing I wonder if the cranks and flywheels are matched stes.<br />Thank you!

They are not matched. I would recommend the flywheel from the 85hp for your 69 ignition system

The flywheels are indeed balanced independent of the crank and related rotating components.
