Location: Warroad, Mn | Here's some of the stuff I carry, and have used most of it.
I have almost every thing every one has talked about plus these.
Tools, I carry a ratchet set, and a full set of wenches. Screwdrivers of all makes and kinds plus Allen wenches. Also nuts and bolts that fit things that are on board.
Jumper cables, Pen and paper. Binoculars, scissors, fillet knife, marker buoys, lots of ropes, bumpers, anchors, and lure retriever. Stuff to make leaders out of, both casting and trolling. Spare hooks and split rings. File to sharpen hooks. Towels to wipe your hands and face. Sun screen, gloves of various kinds. Spare jacket, spare cap or two (in case one blows off and you can't find it).
Duct tape, electricians tape and wire, both electrical and just plain wire. All sorts of fuses that work with what I have that blows out. There's some on most motors I've found out, plus fuses for lots of other things. Spare sunglasses (fitovers), and old set of eye glasses for use when I come in the dark or if my other ones fall over board. Spare prop nut, spare prop (I actually have three on board), prop wench. A tarp to make a tent out of in case I spend a night on the lake. Spare spark plugs for both motors. A section of fuel line, in case the old one springs a leak (It's happened). Food and water (I have a survival kit on board)). Extra 2-cycle oil (gallon minimum). Two first-aid kits, aspirins, ibuprofen, advil, and anti acids. I used to carry bee sting stuff, but it got outdated and haven't replaced it, but I should.
Also nice to have a spare motor (kicker) if you travel the LOTWs.
Probably lots of other stuff I can't remember with out going out and looking in the boat.
