Handy things in/on your boat???


Recommended Posts

Hard to add on to with all the good suggestions. But here are a couple I do not think I have seen.

Extra Wing Nuts for your batteries (lets not talk about how many of these I have dropped and they fall somewhere I can not reach)

Zip Ties. Handy if you have to fix something on the fly.

Electrical tape.

Waterproof gloves.

Handiest thing I added - a Rapala Magnetic Tool holder.

Comes with pliers, side cutter and scissors. I added one to my pontoon, as the kids never put the pliers back in my or their tackle boxes, ha! And it worked so well that I just added one our fishing boat. First one I got on clearance for $6, but full price is $30.... a lot, but it works awesome for those tools, plus I stuck in forceps, jaw spreader and others. Keeps them handy and out of way at same time.

Sorry to rample, but this thing realy is "Handy in the boat"...

edit here is pic, I need to get rid of some "tools" ha! But it works great.

Lots of good idea here. Every time I think of something, I keep reading down the posts and someone else mentions it. A couple things I didn't read are WD-40 and duct tape. They always come in handy for something.

spare set of plugs, already gapped, and a wrench.

Sudafed

Ibuprofen

plenty of drinking water

complete first aid kit including tons of band aids and antibiotic stuff.

sunscreen

tweezers

razor blade (clean one)

Never fails, if I dont have medical related stuff with me, I get hurt, if its in the boat, I never need it. smile

A porta pot with the female adapter is a must have for the wife and daughter.

i thought the same thing so i bought one for my gf (we've been going out over 3 yrs) so she wouldnt have to hold it and i wouldnt have to drive off the ice, she wont use it cuz its too weird .... *shakes head*
