I'd like to assemble a tool kit to leave in the boat. Any recommendations? Other then the obvious tools, ie: wrenches , screwdrivers etc.

I took an inventory of everything on my boat that I would want to fix while floating and bought specifically to leave inside the boat.  Some things require two of the same size wrench, so I have doubles of some.

Then, I have a dedicated toolbox that stays in the truck for anything major.

AN fittings
Hose ends
Spark plugs
Jet assortment
Silicone
RTV blue
Grease
Oil and filters
Gear oil

  You are correct sorry for the over site.  If you choose to venture further from camp you made need to increase the amount of pain reliever that will be required. I can't believe that got buy myself and Crew Chief  :screwy: for sure:thumbup:
