'On-the-water' tool kit and spares

[boristhebold]

Electrical connectors, a variety of plus electrical tape, wire cutters and crimpers.

Ive been doing lots of work recently on my boat awaiting my new A frame to be made and as such have gone through all the wirring on my boat and checked connectors and condition and have found a few connections including a couple which went to one of the battery switches to be in very poor condition, hence would have failed at some point. So its a good idea to take some electrical wire and a few connectors.

[QUOTE=m chappelow;606538]Whatever your choice if tools just make sure they are up to the job , also try undoing or loosening & retightening back with the actual tools that you are going to use every now & again


Good grief my nuts are getting tighter at the thought!!

Classic example is the recoil pull start rope snapping , "no problem just remove the 3 bolts holding the recoil unit & wrap the starter rope around the emergency flywheel pulley to start " that is if the bolts will come undone ; )

I dont carry much in the way of spanners, etc - but I always carry a spare can of fuel (obvious) - and a spare fuel line and primer bulb.

Hi guys!

My sacs tomahawk s590 ( not so common brand? ) has quite nice storage space and I have there:

spark plugs+wrench
water separator/fuel filter
20ltrs gasoline
anchor and rope 40mtrs + 30mtrs
paddle, fire-extinquisher
screw drivers, hex-drivers
wrench-set, adjustable wrench
crimpers + connectors, other pliers
knife
cable-ties
prop nut set, extra sockets for prop nut
good torch/flashlight
duck-tape, electrical tape
first aid-kit
clamp-seal, electrical pump
immersion suits and life-jackets
and also SPARE PROP. Unfortunately in Finland there is some scrap on the sea at spring time: pieces of wood, empty bottles etc. because when ice is melting away it brings scrap from islands. Also my spare prop is with 2" less pitch if there is a need to take more load on the boat. Ok it´s not fun to change prop on the sea but if you have to you can!

We use my RIB mainly to go to summer house at off-shore island 24km from main land. When going there or coming back with not best weather conditions you want to have spares/tools/spare prop with you...
