HELLO FROM A NEW MEMBER THAT NEEDS ADVICE!
#5
Mike, welcome to the forum.

Make sure you have wrenches large enough for the stuffing boxes.
A set of hose clamp socket drivers comes in handy as well. Trying to get a flat head screwdriver on a hose clamp while hanging upside down is a PITA.
Liquid Electrical Tape is also a very handy thing to have. Even though I used heat shrink I still brush that stuff on.
Also, keep a nerf football on-board. If you get a hole in the hull nothing works better than sticking that through it to stop the water. (Don't ask how I know, just take the advice)

You can spend thousands on tools and still not have the correct one. Just cover the basics and you will be able to at least get back in.
