I got one of those endoscope camera and esp for I/Os used in salt water they are real time savers. Today I used it to scope the water intakes of the Cobra drive where I have had an issue with barnacles growing there in the past. Found a little growth easily removed with a coat hanger wire. I’m going to scope the exhaust elbows & manifolds next…

An endoscope?
I had just bought one at harbor freight and it was laying on the table when my son came in with his one year old. He asked what sort of tool it was and I told that it's an endoscope. He looked at me completely grossed out and asked "Are you doing that yourself??"After I explained that it was for my boat engine we had a good laugh about it.

You could call checking your exhaust with this gadget a marine colonoscopy!

Borescope :unsure:. . . Although I have seen them called endoscope cameras.
