What every boat needs??
 

Just thought I would throw this out there to see what everyone else considers must haves while underway. I thought maybe this would be a good information source for people to share their inovative ideas, or best practices. So far I have ready a good tool kit with adjustables, tape measure, various wrenches, duct tape, electrical tape, pliers, spark plugs, nail clippers, various sockets, fuses, various nuts, bolts, washers, spare belts, flash light. I was wondering what you guys have for damage control gear. Or other things people would not leave home with out.

Nail clippers?

A selection of zip ties, a spool of wire, a couple of wood plugs for any through hulls, a small, heavy duty tarp, a couple of different sizes of strap wrenches, short lenghts of various line/rope in varoius sizes (diameters), some gloves and a couple of grease pencils.

A can of spray foam and a plastic bag can do wonders in a pinch and tube of 4200 is also good

Heavy duty cutters for your biggest hooks. A stick of epoxy dough - the type you cut a chunk from and knead.
