Above And Beyond Safe Boating Requirements??

Mee-n-Mac · 08-05-2010, 03:01 PM

Lots of good ideas mentioned so far. Let me add a common one that I've yet to hear. Fuses, spare fuses. Also a flashlight for everyone onboard if you're out at night. Should people have to go into the water at night, they'll want to be found. And if you're out at night have 2 spotlights, ideally one with it's own battery in case you can't depend on the boat's system.

Also a gas siphon. It might be easier to get a few gallons from a willing helper than to go for portable tank ... or a tow.

And duct tape. Of course.
