My original post starts below this line ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok since I now have a boat that I feel confident in taking miles out on the water I am interested in knowing what basic tools should a boat have on it.
Now mind you my boat is no yacht so I don't need a full blown rollaway. I just want what a typical experienced guy with a 115 Johnson outboard on a 18ft bass boat would carry.
So let's hear what you carry and what you carry your tools in.
Don't laugh my tools are not probably correct this is why I am asking. But so far I have :
1 Philips screwdriver average size
1 Flat blade screwdriver average size
1 Crescent wrench 8" I believe
1 Pliers average size
Thanks for sharing
