Is it a bad idea to use a lightweight crankshaft in a offshore boat?

If you can’t post your avatars then I barely even have a reason to own a boat.

Not sure in a boat if light weight crank would effect deceleration like aluminum flywheels do or not. I'd let my machine shop reduce weight where they can while balancing without effecting the strength. I like the 8 counter weight cranks and so does my machine shop. Understandably why.... Makes balancing much easier.

I'm no fan of lightweight cranks in a boat ...not sure if I implied that. I was quoting Bryant crank , where he suggests stiffness is found to be superlative to a "lighter" crank.
