For tools you really can't beat one of those all-in one cases of tools. The kind that has screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches etc. all in a nice carrying case. It stores in the boat well and for emergency use it fits the bill.
I also suggest a plastic "utility box" for spare parts and such. (Kind of like a plastic ammo box) They're usually orange. I've seen them at Walmart and many other places.
I recommend the following generic parts:
Small roll of wire
Large ty wraps
Roll of duct tape
Rags
Spare prop nut, thrust washer and locking washer (Whatever you need to hold on the prop - these can also be tied to your spare prop)
Spare quart of engine oil
Spare prop
Spare drain plug!
A flashlight - if you go out at night you ALSO need a hand held spotlight - not to drive with, but for finding your dock or that buoy, etc.
A SPARE BOAT KEY someplace on the boat!
