She's a beauty !! I just picked one up for 75.00 and with the controls . I haven't run it yet and will be doing the dreaded waterpump on her. Great job on the restoration
Actually, that particular engine belongs to a friend of mine who restored it. If you go to Johns Old Mercury site, detailed step by step directions are under "White Papers"
NICE!! That is one beautiful Mark 28. I just picked up a Mark 28. How much fun are the water pumps to install. I seen in my manual that it looks like a headache and a half. Love the video's.
Thanks Jeff, I can`t tell you what the pitch is but its a 3 blade that gave better performance (rather than the 2 blade)considering the weight of the boat with 2 people.

I have one of these I'm thinking about selling...hasn't been run in 20 years and needs some restoration. Any interest out there?

do you mind telling me how ( in detail ) you hooked up your meter and the hookup on the motor to check the motor RPM?

On this particular tach, one wire fits under one of th spark plug boots while the other goes to ground.

Slick video! Maybe Carl wasn't so nuts after all, for she does shift nicely with one hand.
What prop was the "one"; an 11 pitch, I'll bet?
