Tools & Spare
Parts
Here are the tools and
spare parts to carry on your boat.
|
Caveat
Obviously the range of tools and spare parts you
carry on your boat is dependent on boat size and
intended use, ie, putzing around the ICW on a
runabout versus heading to the islands for a few
months on a 50 foot trawler. But consider the
following list a good basis to work from. Note,
items are not listed in any particular order of
importance.

it's gonna happen,
