Anyone know the weight of the 49-53 Mercury 4 inch crank. I have a standard one that I may have to ship. Thanks

Lay it on your bathroom scale, but don't tell your wife about doing that

Just weighed a fresh ground one and it's 56lb.-13.6oz.
Probably you're within +/- a pound considering how much material has or hasn't ben removed for balancing.
Now if you could only squeeze it into a one price priority mail box

Well, considering that crankshafts squirm around and get all out of shape when laid flat on the floor, maybe you can just stand it on end in a flat rate box and it will just ooze on down to fit into the box after a few years!
