First off....... get a couple of propeller shear pins. If the prop hits something, the shear pin will break. Need to have some pliers or wrench to take the prop off. Probably will also need a screwdriver to take pin out. To get the broken shear pin out.... you may need a small nail or piece of wire to "punch" out the broken piece.
If you have a trolling motor..... same equipment is need [but correct size shear pin]
If it has a built in pull cord to start the engine.......this cord will break at some time. I would keep a spare rope in the boat and look into how to remove the engine cover to get access to the flywheel where the spare rope can be used.
Keep a paddle in the boat..... that can get you back to the landing.
