Boat tool bag?

[BayRunner Rods]

Just picked up a spare alternator/compressor drive belt today for an Optimax. Most common breakdown I've heard on the radio is hoses or belts.

Maybe a couple feet of 3/8" fuel hose for your outboard with some brass menders and some clamps. I had a primer bulb fail on me that knocked out one of my engines one day.

Don't forget a flashlight and spare batteries. I bought a Plano box with gasketed lid for the tools. Every tool was sprayed with corrosion block to keep from rusting.

Younger, good suggestion Flashlight and SPARE BATTERIES! Always have one in my tackle, but never any spare batteries.

Pitch, You're right nothing stays dry. I usually put everything in xtra heavy ziplock bags, but do have foodsaver and might try it!

Thanks everyone, for the tips...

I also bought a Food Saver and probably will vacuum pack whatever stuff I don't plan on using out there.

In fact, a good idea is to vacuum pack a spare set of "universal" clothes (that could basically fit most people LOL)! For the occasional "oops" or simply if you get soaked LOL.

Every tool box needs a HOSE REPAIR KIT

You make this up your self by going to any hardware store and buying one of every size DOUBLE END BARB CONNECTORS (1/8" on up) they have in brass and nylon. Should cost you about $20. Then throw in some assorted cable ties and hose clamps.

You should be able to fix every sort of hose leak you have, from steering to fuel etc.

1. Find the leak 2. cut the hose in half on the hole 3. Insert the connector and clamp 4. Go fishing instead of going home

THEY ALSO HAVE THOSE LED FLASHLIGHTS YOU SHAKE THAT DON'T HAVE BATTERIES. GREAT IDEA AS WELL.

THERE IS ALSO A PRODUCT WE USE ON THE JOB SITES THAT YOU CAN SPRAY ON A LEAK WHILE ITS LEAKING AND IT WILL STOP IT! I'LL TRY TO FIND IT

HOPEFULLY WE WILL NEVER NEED THIS STUFF GUYS. GOOD TOPIC

[33TROJAN]

THAT STUFF I WAS TALKING ABOUT IS LEAK ENDER 2000. IT WORKS WELL

I have one of those new type of flashlights that are LED. You just turn the handle a few times and it will be a bright light for along time. Works great. Never need to worry about batteries, since it doesn't have any. It was under twenty bucks. We have all needed flashlights only to find the batteries are dead
