My tool box is a constant evolution. It consists of everything I desperately needed before but didn't have when something happened and, it evolves every time something new happens. :D
My most important tool these days is a floating GPS to mark precisely where the boat went down, since I have a Hallett flat at the bottom of Powell and we couldn't find it, even with hired divers. It also provides proof of speed for the doubting clowns that can, and do exist. :D
AMEN brother... :)
One of the most impressive and ingenious on the road, in a pinch fixes that I recall was someone who broke a leaf spring and half of the spring was still holding the axle in place but wouldnt support the boat/trailer... Into their tool stash they went and used a large rubber hammer between the axle and the frame of the trailer... The rubber hammer handle was taped in place on the leaf spring with duct tape and a ratchet strap was used to help anchor the axle into position so the rubber hammer could act as the spring... :)
Cant recall who that was, from the OLD HotBoat days...
If the boat goes down Doc that will be the least of my worries i.e...trying to find it. That is the job for the insurance company...they just need to have the right address for where they mail the check too.
As far as tool kit:
I'm working on it while some people make dinner plans. You think I would get at least an invite for beverages and discussion:angry-smiley-018::angry-smiley-018:.
I will have one here pretty quick and probably will share via video what is in it.
Or I could do a call out thread and have 10 pages of replies and lines of takers....laughing...but probably true.
My 2 cents... Spend $20-$40 bucks on a radio shack DVM (digital volt meter) and read the manual, get familair with checking the basics... I rarely travel without mine ( I have a $250 Fluke TRUE RMS meter )...
