Post Tools on the boat
What tools or spare parts would y'all say are a must while on the water. Can be Modded or Stock would be interesting to see what everyone has with them.

left handed metric cresent wrench....never leave home without it.





in all seriousness...wire strippers, pliers, cresent wrench, flat and phillips screwdrivers. the only time ive ever needed the tools was to fix a light on my bowfishing deck.

A basic tool set will allow you to do most anything that can be done on the water. Zip ties, hose clamps, spare throttle cable, spare prop, fuses, plugs, RTV, electrical tape, pipe tape, oil, filters, barbed hose splice for fuel line, bulb if you use one. Spare battery or jump box and plenty of gas. Paddle..........

This would fit the bill for most things

Post Tools on the boat
The most important tool has been covered. That's TP. Also a rope to pull broke down SD's back to the ramp. The normal stuff, screwdrivers, Mexican socket set (crescent wrench), pair of pliers and during duck season there will be wire stripers in the boat. We love things that move.

I know it's not on the water, but do you know how many people are trailing their rigs up and down the road and don't realize that the tire tool on their truck won't fit the lugs on the boat trailer. Have lent my break down 4-way a few times.

Post Re: Tools on the boat
Look I carry more stuff than I have ever needed and it's helped alot of OTHERS that did need it. I carry alot of spare stuff because I spent my whole life on boats and have been stuck just because of a gasket or a fuel line, not the reverse or neutral.

Any time giga's boat leaves the dock it's got the biggest tool on the gulf coast in it.

Post Re: Tools on the boat
I think what he is talking about is that lame video you posted of a gdsd riding through saplings in 2' of water, if it was pics I'd say the ones you took while some guys where trying to help someone who was stuck while you stayed safe. Post up that video of you jumping those land bridges and clear it up.

I agree with most especially the TP....I carry way more than needed!

However, I must say Go-Devil never mentioned on the phone or in the manual anything about running
93 octane so I will not be caught buying that overpriced stuff!

I keep a small set of metric and standard sockets in the boat. A spare prop and prop wrench, 2 feet of wire and misc connectors and a wire cutter. Screwdrives. I also LOTS OF BATTERIES FOR THE DAM HEADLAMPS. I think that some boat gnomes turn them on in gun bos at night cause they always seem to be dead
