I think so.

For a Boat, I would want some small sockets, like 5/16ths for Trident
Screw Clamps . Or did I not see them..

1/2 inch drive IMO, is redundant for the fisherman / weekender /
tuber, as you are close to shore.

But it is a nice emergency kit.


That is one good thing about an outboard. My YamaMerc can pretty much
be torn to the ground with a 10MM socket and a 6 in 1 screwdriver.
Throw in a 3/8 for the brass nuts on the electrical and a 5/16(=8mm) a
7mm and a 1/4 for the small stuff and that is about all you are doing
on the water. I have a 12v test light a knife, a crescent wrench, vice
grips and some different kinds of pliers along with a handful of
spare parts. It all fits in a 50 cam ammo can.

I am not cruising the Caribbean tho. I am always within $400 of the
house by a tow pirate. Hopefully I could make a phone call and round
up a neighbor to come get me. I have a few favor chits out there. I
have hauled in just about everyone I know with a boat at least once.
All I really need is to get to a ramp and get a cab home ;-)
