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.

Are they reasonable rust resistant?

A 1/4" drive kit "does" everything I feel I want to mess with sockets
while away from the dock. I spent an entire Saturday once at a classy
machine screw place in Milford finding matches in Phillips head screws
for all the slot head screws I found on the boat. I *hate* slot screws!

They are plated with good quality chrome which makes them somwhat
resistant but they should really be wiped down as soon as possible
with WD40, Corrosion-X or BoeShield if they get wet. In a smaller
boat I'd keep them in a large zip lock bag for an extra measure of
protection. In all honesty this particular set is probably overkill
for any boat without an inboard engine but it does have a very good
selection. There are only a few extra tools that you'd need to carry
in most cases - hammer, large screwdriver, crimper/stripper, vice
grips, etc.

YMMV of course but I think you might be pleasantly surprised if you
saw them. One of the things that I like is the inclusion of deep
sockets in both SAE and metric. I've got some of each on the big
boat.

Of course one of the other good things is that each tool/socket has
its own place so you can instantly tell if you've forgotten to put
something away or if it has gone missing.

As an FYI, most, if not all of the sockets are 6 point.

Well, I have to agree with you on most points here. I will check out
the Crecent brand next time I am out. It would be nice to have all the
sockets in one nice place like when I worked on cars. I have them on
sliders now, but it's still a pain to dig them out...

Thanks. I'm not mechanically competent to work on boat engines. But I
can tighten up stuff that works loose. The biggest problem I had with my
"salt water boat" was with batteries, but not for two seasons now, since
I replaced the old batteries.

Remember the first rule of boat repair: "First, do no harm!"

I'll replace a battery, change the oil, change spark plugs, change
filters, et cetera, on a boat engine, but that's about it. Anything more
complicated, engine-wise, and I want a trained mechanic to do it.

No problems with rust?
