Onboard tool kit

[Joel]

Thanks again for all the great help. It's especially helpful being a newbie.

In addition to all the good stuff mentioned already, I went and got one of those ratcheting box-wrenches with a 7/16 on one end and 3/8 on the other. It covers 90+% of the aircraft nuts on my 26M - it's the handiest tool I have on board next to my Swiss Army Marine knife (with marlinspike of course!).

Maybe I missed it but a spare QT of oil for the engine would not hurt.

And by the way I got a nice set of pliers , screw drivers, and vice grips from boaters world made in Stainless last year. They were on sale and less money than the Walmart versions. I just wish they float.

How about bungees or the equivalent. I don't got thru as many as I lose overboard.

I remember a friend telling me about a large Navy vessel that was being retrofitted for the upteenth time. The workers were cutting thru a bulkhead and came across a old machine room completely out fitted with lathes and milling machines that had been completely closed off inside the ship for years.

Oh ! SPare key and kill switch thingy !!!

Was Geraldo there?
