I have a small tool bag that I carry with me everywhere, just like my pocket knife and Kimber. It has a shorty wrench set from 5/16-13/16. A 1/4" socket set, a 12" crescent wrench, #2 phillips and strait screwdrivers and a small pair of wire strippers, crimpers. I changed my sea pump saturday while on the water. Has saved my a$$ many times and made me alot of money too.

[QUOTE=QKRTHNU;3700115]Just wondering what tools you carry on board if any.

Soft tool bag , with all your basic tools , plus wire ties , electric tape spare impellor (saved my a$$) also spare fuel filter .

Do a search. At least a dozen threads on this over the years.

Beer, AMEX/cc, and Phone usually top answers!

If your boat is powered by a newer electronic efi engine then the $400 hand held scan tool is also a wise investment. Trying to screwdriver, wrench and unbolt on a complex warning buzzer efi engine when you really have no clue what's really acting up or putting you out of commission is kinda like trying to row your boat up a creek without a paddle.

Sea Tow is not an option for us in Vegas as the Fn federal government runs our lake and could care less if we are there or not.You go to Havasu and see all the suport it gets from the town and all the money buisnesses make from us,I have heard the mayor at Desert Storm say how great it is to have us there,we bring lots of money and no problems but the government is too stupid to set up Mead the same way they just want to make the money by increasing the fees to use the lake.I have been boating there for 35 years and it has always been this way and always will be.Still a great lake though but it can get a bit rough out there,will be out there tomorow.

Many good answers here. I carry the "basics" plus duct tape, wire ties, rescue tape, a few brass hose splice connectors and jumper wires.

The jumper wires have saved me twice. Once a bad fuel pump relay and once a bad starter slave solenoid. Oh yeah, and a spare relay.

I have always had some mis-match crap in a tool box on my boat but I am goign to go to Harbor Freight and buy one of their $35 100 piece tool kits and keep it with some of the other basics.

Mask , snorkel and fins . A small assortment of hand tools will handle just about any job on the water short of an engine rebuild .

keep 1 of those multi tools like a leatherman close!!! very handy 4 the quick turn, twist, grab, slice!!!! but a full kit downstairs is nice!!!! good luck!!!
