Picking my boat up in the next week or so...
Wondering what you guys consider 'must haves' as far as spare parts, tools, whatever on your boat in case of problems.
I've never owned a boat before, so I'm open to all opinions and would like to go into this minimizing my chances of getting stuck, stranded, or into a bad situation on the water.
Interested to see the differences in the kits all of you guys bring with you. Nothing should be considered too obvious- I'm a new boater.
Thanks in advance.

all of the above but it doesn't matter.
No matter what you have, something ELSE will break!!!! I even keep a spare drive at the house hoping that logic is true.
Added: I keep a spare kill switch lanyard for those REALLY big O-chit days.......and with the addition of ethanol I now carry spare fuel filters too.
