Boat's necessary stuff
We would recommend some rules, which are advisable to apply in your boat.
Of course what we recommend, is NOT necessarily to be implemented by the owner or by the boat operator. Everyone can alone weigh their skills and abilities and common sense !!!
In a boat the space is limited, so it is advisable to have with us only the necessary things and avoid clutter.
The available space automatically grows and also safe movement of occupants!
We suggest you to keep a toolbox on your boat.
Something small and easily manageable can happen during our trip and put us in trouble.
With the right tool we can treat it and continue without a problem.
A toolbox should certainly include:
Insulation tape, stick with it, connect and isolate.
A set of screwdrivers, various sizes.
Pliers
Cutter
Spark plug wrench
Lubricant spray
Marine grease
Hammer
Wrench
Cable ties
Sandpaper
A set of allen keys
Some stainless steel screws, washers and nuts of different sizes.
Fuses and light bulbs for all lights and functions on board.
Wire, we can make any shape we may need.
Wrench and security nut for the engine’s propeller.
Mask and flippers, to check if needed the propeller or hull, or keel of the boat.
Preventive before dive remove the key from the ignition.
The engine manufacturer's manual contains useful and simple instructions that can help you in a difficult moment.
Of course first aid box, lifesaving equipment (parachute distress signals, daylight smoke signal, fire extinguisher, life jackets, bucket, pocket knife, flashlight, floating anchor, rope, paddles, mobile phone and spare battery as well as anything else that describes the license of your boat).
For speedboats with higher horse power outputs, a spare propeller together with plastic hub and nut should always be on board.
The operator should know the engine’s manual starting procedure (with cord), in case of a starter motor damage.
The starting cord is always located inside the power head cover of the outboard engine!
This procedure can only be done on small-displacement engines!
For high horse power engines a backup engine is the only solution!!!
I hope you found usefull these tips.
Have fun!
