I just bought an inspection camera with a 36" flexible hose. I took it down to the boat and finally got a look at lots of places that I couldn't see before. Fortunately, all looks well. Great little toy.
 
I have had one of these by Milwaukee for a number of years. It was especially helpful in the Tom Cat, where there are two deep hulls, fuel fittings, macerator pumps, shower sump connections etc, which are difficult even with mirrors.
 
C-ness, This is an especially useful tool which can be utilized in many different situations. Perhaps it would be beneficial to post the brand, model number, and source for all interested "Brats".
 
How Funny. Eventually industry catches up. Many many years ago, an un-named pulmonologist "borrowed" a fairly new flexible fiberoptic brochoscope, to take home and find a leak in the wall behind a newly tiled shower :oops: :roll:

I bet that inspection camera wasn't $20K worth :shock: but it does the same job, well sort of. Cool to be able to see where we can't see:shock: :D

I used the camera to check my fuel tanks and lines, as well as all the fittings for the hot water heater and head. It's also great for inspecting tight quarters in lazarettes. Note that I currently own a GB32 that has more systems than a c-dory. On my tomcat I would have used the camera to check the pumps in the lazarettes, as well as the fuel tanks. I have read that some folks use the camera to inspect internal components of their engines.

I bought the camera at Harbor Freight for $89. It is their least expensive camera. It doesn't have any capacity to digititally store images but it has a nice, if small, screen and images can be rotated. The stalk is 36" and has two led bulbs on the head.
