Tool Kit?, what do you guys carry????
 

Hey Guys

I am putting together a "tool kit" for a "worst case scenario" situation on my boat, its just a basic 24ft Outlaw with a 454 EFI/Bravo 1 set up, I boat mainly in the St Lawrence river area, so, I dont need to plan for any Transatlantic crossings or anything, but, wondered what you guys kept for tools/spares on board?, or what have you found you where glad to have [or WISH you had?]

I am gonna carry a multimeter, some spare bulbs/fuses, and basic hand tools, as well as a spare prop, and prop "kit"/wrench, and maybe a spare water seperator and anything else you guys come up with
As always, ANY input would be appreciated, maybe a few other boatters will get an idea or two from this thread as well.

THANKS!

Michael, have you been to your cottage lately?

River is open and the ships are running.

Hurry up and splash the boat.

Get the medium size kits from Sears/depot/lowes and put it in a decent tool box. Some even come with a nice carry case. Most important is a quality #2 screwdriver, straite blade screwdriver, 9/16", 7/16", 3/8" wrenches and sockets. I like to keep a pair of old water pumps and housings on board and a pair of belts.

Everything listed above...my tool kit takes at least 1 mph off my top end. But Iusually can fix anything that comes up. :cool:

Don't buy the cheap tool sets. More pain then they are worth. Craftsman, Kobalt, Stanley should be good enough.:cool:

Not sure of your setup but I always kept an impeller/pump kit in storage just in case.

I carry all the basic tools. A full set of standard wrenches, short & long sockets, screwdrivers and a 15mm wrench for the power steering nut. Wire strippers, crimp tool, extra belts, quart of oil, quart of outdrive lube, trans fluid for power steering. I like to be prepaired for anything.
