UPDATE: The video host we were using for these short videos is still in business but they canged their venue, therefore most all of our links are inoperative. Not to worry however, they have been archived and we'll transfer them all to Youtube.com which seems to be a much more reliable source for archival type documentation videos like these were. We also have some already on Youtube that are not logged in here, and more to come now that I have finally upgraded from the ancient Sony Mavica MVC FD92, which is no longer even supported by the software on new computers these days, and Sony doesn't have a patch to make their old technology like this work on a Windows Vista system, for instance. The old camera is now still working, but essentially obsolete and ready to be tossed.
I'm leaving the original post below..............but the videos are temporarily out of commission. We'll post a notice on the forum when they're uploaded again.
regards, cheers,

Hello guys,
I'm starting this page as the VIDEO INDEX, which will be placed in the Master Index file and updated from time to time when we get more videos or links.
You've all probably seen these allready, so I wanted to advise why they were being reposted. The idea is to get all the videos referenced in one spot.
Regards, Paul
VIDEO SECTION
For those of you who need a boating fix, and photos and the written word just isnt enough, check out the video section here.
For now, these are comprised of quick loading 5-second videos. Later when I get my camera upgraded, and when some other people also contribute, well include those links too.

Water rushing through a clear exhaust pipe, very interesting !! A translucent 90-degree bend is backlighted so the camera can see all the water coming out of a 427 marine motor.

427 marine motor starting up. Not real glamorous, but this is what it sounds like.
