mazzgolf Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Oh, boy. Let me see...based on my past experience I would say some "essentials" would be: Tool box with wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, small hammer, etc. Put everything in ziploc bags because it sucks when you have to buy new ones when all your tools have rusted. Extra fuses (check your electronics, find out what sizes you'll need). It sucks when you have no replacements after having a fuse blow and you lose your GPS/fish finder. Again, put them in ziploc bags. Small can of WD-14 or some lubricant-type spray. It sucks when you can't get in a storage compartment because the locks freeze up. Confirm that your truck (or boat) has the necessary tools that are able to lift and change trailer tire Check that you have the proper socket that fits the trailer tire lug nuts AND the socket is deep enough (it WOULD HAVE sucked finding this out later if I had gotten a flat .) Make sure your jack is high enough to reach and lift the trailer frame, otherwise, carry a 2x or some other platform that can get you that extra few inches you might need. Toilet paper - haven't needed it yet but when you do need it, you'll wish you had it Pee bottle! Marine radio - haven't needed it yet, which is shocking considering everything else that has happened to us Here's something that I hopefully will never need but... learn proper radio comms for mayday and pan-pan to make sure you know what information is expected to be relayed in different types of emergencies. Laminate a small index card with the info and store it near the radio or have something stored locally on your phone (that doesn't require network or cloud access). You may never need it, but if you ever do ... Guys fishing the back bays in summer with boats all around you probably won't need it, but those going out in the ocean or if you are going out in the dark pre-dawn in the winter for waterfowling with no one else around, you never know.
