On boat tool bag/box?

[BrettLee3232]

What are the essential tools you guys bring on your boat and what are you holding them in. I went all summer with only a big screwdriver to tighten screw on my tower and to shotgun beers.

I want to be a little more prepared in case something happens and I'm stranded and I need needle nose pliers to replace a fuse and I was to lazy to make a tool bag for the boat etc. (yes that did happen this year, had to get a tow cause I blew a fuse but couldn't get my gorilla fingers around the fuse to replace.)

Anyways what are you guys packin?

Was a thread about this not to long ago. Screw driver, channel locks, leatherman, that's about it. Usually have a jump box and jumper cables in the truck.

I also carry a set of Allen wrenches and blue loctite

Screw driver with changeable bits, Allen wrenches, channel locks, needle nose pliers, extra hose clamps, extra fuses, zip ties, extra drain plugs, electrical tool (cutter/stripper/clamper), wire ends and butt joints, electrical tape, small hammer all kept in a water tight ammo box.

Always have a variation of one of these tucked behind the gunwale wall on the drivers side along with safety flares, spare skier down flags, hidden set of keys, etc.

The tool I use the most is a pair of goggles & and large size pocket knife.
I'm sooo careful about those ropes but I am sure it will happen again....
It is much faster to cut a $20 tube rope than get pulled home.

This is what I carry. Easy to store and has everything you need.

I carry a spare prop. I had one anyway and got the Wake Makers "Weekend Saver" prop bag and prop wrench, nut and cotter pin. The bag will also hold other tools in it as well. I mostly use the Leatherman, knife and dive mask. I haven't had much that needed fixing underneath but sometimes you want to see if something happened down there.
First Aid kit has also come in handy a time or two.

was in HD yesterday and almost bought this thinking it would be perfect for keeping on the boat, thoughts?
