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.

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!

Me too...blame the English. Robertson for me !!!!

I have a " Palm Drive " 3 point ratchet that does about everything
small. It measures about 8 inches square.

They should be banned. It's hard to believe they still exist.

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 *;-)

I'm thinking of doing that this coming season. A " Boat Wrecker " if
you like.

Are they reasonable rust resistant?

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.

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.
