what other odds and ends do you take with you to the lake?
i got all my required stuff, life jackets, throw cousin, fire extinguisher, registration/license (in a zip lock bag) etc
but i was wondering what else you take with you to make your day go by smoothly
i got an ancher, spike, and some rope. paddles, mooring bumpers. a whistle and a orange flag.
planning on taking a cooler with munchies/drinks in it.
suppose a towel and some sunblock might be good to have as well
havent been on the lake for a number of years and was just trying to get ready for my test ride this sunday
edit** also taking tools!

Sounds like your set bud. The only other thing I have in the boat at all times is a set of horse shoes :beer:

general tool set and a bucket of loose nuts and bolts

A couple drain plugs and hose clamps (luckily I haven't needed either).
If you're gonna be doing any "tuning" take a timing light.

Dove into both these guys stash many times! I carry all that, in the truck, but in the boat, I carry a set of jumper cables and a tow strap, a big ass screwdriver for stubborn rocks in the impeller, some 12 guage solid core wire for tying shit up, and fuses for the fuse panel....... :sly:

First ime I actualy used the big anchore last night. I never even take one w/ me. The ole lady was going thru a check list the other day and was in my ass about an anchore so I threw one onboard just the other day. So I'm sitting out on the lake and when it comes time to go , dead battery. We drifted to shore and it was pretty rockty so I pointed her out and shoved off as far as I could and dropped anchore. It was 10:30 by the time we got rescued so It was dark, no flashlight. We did however have a spot light which helped the three dudes that helped us find us. I used my portable Marine radio and got ahold of the sailing vessel "Conan" who was at the dock in his slip so apparently he found these guys partying in a small boat and sent them out. We also talked to the Park sevices who said they would contact the rangers who told us all they would do is pic up the people, we could salvage the boat later so I said we'll stay w/ the boat and thirty seconds later asked for my passengers to be picked up and they said they were busy w/ another call. So these three guys show up and tell us tey are samali Pirates, do we have any beer. Anyway, alls well that ends well.
So thats:
Anchore
Flashlight
Spotlight
Marine radio

The taliban, sailboat and smali pirot incodent were all in the same place basicly, right inbetween were u broke your header and thes ramp. the taliban thing was in the sanger, the sailboat thing was in the witchcraft and the pirot thing last night was in the sleek. Always an adventure!

Just funny shit! So, yeah, take a tow rope! I think Pat and I already covered that, and the jumpers......I know Terry had a battery issue the day before I broke a header, and I have had previous battery issues (I think that was Big River 2 years ago if i'm not mistaken)....... :screwy:
You never know on these things! I like Keiths idea on the hose clamps!, That was something I missed once that caused a little discomfort..........The bolts? well, Ralph tells the story better, but when a bolt falls out of your reverse bucket cable....at speed.......the results can be quite comical to watch! No so comical to ride in........... :screwy:
I've been spending my time working o replacement wiring harnesses for these things, (news at 11 guys, but I think I got it all worked out, they're coming....) next is a "Lake Kit" ,,,,,,,,,, ;)

OR just load up 2 into an energy drink can. Personally I dont risk it at crapstaic, have way too many friends that work at that lake. And a few that are getting upper lake training this season. So I dont want to screw anything up with them.
