[Ed32]

Other than the usual required things (pdf, fire extinguisher, etc) what else do u carry on your boat? spare motor parts? Tools? I'm just looking for ideas to make sure I have everything I need on the water. Thanks

Fuses, 8, 10, and 12mm wrenches. Flat head and Phillips drivers. Spare bulb, hose and fuel connectors. Extra plugs both engine and drain. Pistol and first aid kit.

Always carry plenty of rope. You never know when you may need a tow.

Small set of jumper cables stay in the boat. Spare pt. or qt. of 2 stroke oil or 4 stroke. Good pair of wire cutters and adj. pliers. ...spare trolling motor shear pins and nut. Spare big foot switch for TM and connectors.

I carry a 2 piece push pole under the rear deck... Will do you no good in a lake but I only fish marsh so if gas and electric goes it will work better than a paddle...Always have a 2 liter bottle of water and can of dried nuts and vi annies last a long time in the dry box...Tried stowing away a lil old crow for a survival situation but it didn't survive the first outing....Guess if time ever comes it'll be the vi annies to save the day...

Spare propeller. It does not have to be a high performance prop, it just needs to get you home. If you spin a hub, you will idle in. If you're in Big Lake, you will not idle against the wind with a spun hub. It's hours across Big Lake at an idle.
