I was just wondering what you take for tools when you are out on your boat.
I take a small bag with assorted box end ratchet wrenches a couple screwdrivers and adjustable pliers. I have never had to use my tools except to pull the battery but I want to make sure I am prepared. I think this year I will also carry an impeller.

Hehe my mom bought me this cheap ass tool set for my birthday one year and I threw it in the boat cuz it's not real expensive or anything so it's all rusty and stuff now. It has everything though, rachets, allen wrenches, screw drivers, pliers, wire cutters, hammer..... I've used just about everything in it at some point though either it be from winterizing to adjusting my bindings.

I carry a small set of tools in a small military bag. You might want to carry some cutting tools, like snips and/or a knive. I do care an impeller just incase. Black electrical tape, WD-40 and rags are others.

Some will stay you don't need it, but you never know.

Jumber cables are a must have. Then I also have a pretty complete small tool kit with assorted wrenches, socket set, screw drivers, pliers etc. That's for the boat. Then a good first aid kit for the boar crew

googles, waterproof flashlight, sharp knife/razor - all for cutting the yellow jacket rope off of the prop. I also have a basic toolbox with wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.

Everything! I empty my Snap On tool box into a small portable one. I bring everything from my Fluke meter to 15" channel locks! You never know when you are going to need the stuff and I can fix just about anything with the right tools, or lets say nothing is worse than not having the right tool when you need it! I hardly ever open it, but it provides mental comfort along with about 50 pounds of extra balast on one side of the motor!

I definitely second the swim goggles, they are a necessity. If you can see what you are doing, you might save your $100 wakeboard rope.
