You have one of those motors with the " slingky spring " gear shift.----The impeller is up above the transmission.----Not a fun job and special tools may be required.-----------Manual is a must.

thinking back, the last time that the motor was ran, the lower unit was out of oil. un known to me ( i got this motor on barter for a tent and some cots) could that be the only problem and in fact the impeller is good? this motor looks great on my old boat really wanting to get it running good again

Have one myself.-I have some never used impellers but they have been on the shelf a long time.-------With the large variety of impellers today it should be possible to find a fit / adapt a newer one to fit the Mark 28.----You will get comments / complements if your Mark 28 starts in a couple of pulls.

This should be the parts list, though not the clearest:

http://www.*****************/parts/mercury-mark-outboard-parts/mark-10-10a-15a-28-28a-28ad/all

For 47-26554 impeller, see:

John S. Mcintosh - Parts Impellers

The manual you require is 90-25500.

Here is an excellent priced one:

Original Mercury Marine Dealer Service Manual Outboards 1940 1965 C 90 25500 | eBay

Send the seller a message to see if he has just withdrawn the book or if it has sold.


I see Iboats is playing their games again. See my message to you in Notifications at the top of the page for the link to the parts list.
