Tools
 

What kind of tools do you guys usually bring with you when you go out?

Socket set, vice grips, combination screw driver, prop wrench, zip ties, duct tape, jump box

The knid you actually need that work. Dont bring your billy bad ass Snap On stuff....That way when you drop it in the water it wont be such a terrible experience.:grinser010::cool:

Sears baby Sears

Do you know from experience?

Since my daily tools are Snap On, thats what I have in the tool bag.. If it goes overboard because your junker broke and I'm bailing your broke down butt out of another jam, you either dive for it or pay for the replacement :) :)

Basics in the tool bag: Sockets, wrenches up to 7/8, screwderdoers,test light, spare ign switch.. Leatherman is always on my belt, fixes 97% of the problems we run into it seems..

Wrench set- 1/4 to 7/8, sockets, 3/8 drive, same sizes. Screwdrivers, pliers, vice grips, Volt/ohm meter. Crimping pliers. Butane torch. Magnet, inspection mirror. Just as important are the parts- filters, plugs, belts, impellers, tape, sandpaper, wire & crimp-ends, shrink tube. I even have a couple rocker arms and springs. Handful of common fasteners. All in a waterproof Pelican box. I always bring duplicates of the most common things- I have a habit of dropping things in the bilge and overboard. I've sent enough 1/2 and 9/16 wrenches overboard to stock a Sears hardware department.

and...

DUCT TAPE and TIE WRAPS!!

Pretty much after I swam for a $100 wrench one day I figured Sears is it pal.... F*** the dumb sh**

do yourself a favor and throw a 5/16 nut driver in your tool bag as well along with a 5/16 allen wrench....

Everybody has covered most of the important items bring an extra plug and extra prop nut

my brother....what a phuking tool....

Stecz brings the SBRT.
Oh wait, he doesn't have a boat.

I dont know your brother but got-dammit that was funny :drink::drink:

most of the tools hang out on boating sites, real boaters go boat...:D

thats sum funny chit right there..good hanging with ya in OC bro...was a pleasure

thanks dude was a pleasure hangin with you too.. we got some runs coming up soon, see if Chris and Daves wives will let them go... :D

Never hurts to bring extra coozies, and a spare bottle opener. Ideally, a floating bottle opener!

OK, I carry a 3/8 square driver handle (looks like a screwdriver handle with 3/8 male end) to use with sockets that covers the 5/16 for hose clamps.. What's the 5/16 allen for? My torque tab is 3/8 hex...

and condoms, flotation devices for millions of swimmers :D

I was comming in this thread to reply with your name, but the joke was already used and then I remembered my only boat is yours when your at races:party-smiley-004:

No matter how many tools I keep on board the one that I always need somehow isnt there.

Sooo, I keep a well stocked cooler and an extra phone batterey. Compensation is always on ice when help arrives. ;)

i think clay is the only who doesnt boat with a bunch of tools on board

LOL :p
