Marine Toolbox
Submitted by big john on Mon, 2007-12-03 19:20.
Starting to get together a marine toolbox for the boat. I had a fairly minimal one for the tinnie as there wasn't a lot that could go wrong.
Just curious as to what the experienced boaties/crew would consider to be essential ingredients for a marine toolbox. Obviously I don't want to carry the kitchen sink but on the other hand I don't want to forget some key item.

As above
But instead of electrical tape I carry gaffer tape as is will insulate but will also hold things in place better ie your sounder if you bust the bracket.
A small hammer is a good thing as well.
Its Sambo Time !!

100 mile an hour tape - 2"
100 mile an hour tape - 2" wide cloth tape - very strong and sticky. You see the crews in the V8's taping up panels that Lowndes has knocked off
. Always have a roll onboard.
A floating prop wrench and spare nut/tab.
Volt meter
Phone numbers of ya mechanic and local rescue.
