Tool Box on board .. what goes in the box
NE Sailboat wrote:
I was taking a look at my tool box today and trying to decide what to take on board. If you carry a tool box, could you tell what tools go in the box. Statistics show that 93% of all pleasure boat repairs arise from connections, hoses, pipes, wires, etc. I made that number up of course, but if you've cruised much, it may ring true for you. In addition to tools to deal with the above, the next category is tools to deal with routine maintenance: filters, lubricants, etc. The final category might be tools for repairs to canvas, boat hull, teak, rigging, etc. Gets much tougher. But the Zen enters when grappling with whether to pack tools needed for major repairs. If carrying spare parts for the engine, tools to install them would be appropriate. I always thought the more difficult question was what spares to pack.
