Broken Crank Shaft.

A friend broke the crank in his engine I think. It will turn a bit then locks up. Click the starter and it will move a little bit again with the crank handle..not a full revolution and I don't see anything moving looking through plug holes at cylinders. All pistons are top dead center by the looks of it.

He was just heading back to the dock and doesn't think he hit anything with the prop etc. His prop is the proper size for his C&C 29 MkI as well.

Anyway, I had a good crank there that I gave him. He's going to pull the engine sometime this week and do it.

Thoughts on how this happened??
