that is gold!! good stuffducky wrote: Although I do remember one time a drunken chick damaging a cavity slider on a house boat I was on. Had to take the entire thing apart which involved unscrewing screws that had been stopped up and painted. It’s amazing how effective a plaster made from eggwhite mixed with protein powder can be at patching screw holes on a cream door frame Hahahaha

Re: Small Tool Kit for Boat
Everyone will have their own opinions but for me...the 2nd one is more than enough. On a trailer boat, it is very unlikely you need anything more heavy duty than this. Ie....you wont be pulling the engine down in PPB. I carry probably somewhere between pic 1 and pic 2.skouta wrote:Are any of these a good start???

Re: Small Tool Kit for Boat
I carry a small toolbox plus spare bungs,fuses,shackles,greased wheel bearings I even carry a spare breakaway brake lanyard,my theory is if you carry it you will never need them if you don’t you will.
I also carry an adaptor that fits the Yamaha water flush Port so if my water pump fails I can connect the deck wash to it to cool my engine so I can get home.
