    Underwater video cameras

    I was wondering if anyone has had experience with any type of underwater video systems, fish cams etc. For some reason, I can't get it out of my head that it would be cool to look around under the boat and see what's going on down there. I've looked around on ebay and some other sites and I've...

    A Stubborn water pump, and what I did to fix it.

    I bought my third, and possibly my best 9.5 hp Evinrude last fall. This thing starts right up and runs like a top, but it needed a new water pump.

    Serial/Model number location on a 7HP Chrysler

I'd still like to find the numbers on the motor, but I don't see them anywhere. I looked all over the outside, and inside but no luck. Anybody?

    9.5 hp Johnsons: good or bad

    I recently bought a 1973 Johnson 9.5 hp. So far, it seems like a good little motor, but I've read a couple of posts where 9.5s may have a quirk or two. I would like to hear from other 9.5 owners about whether or not they like them, and what to look out for. Thanks, Paul
