Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
if you plan on doing some traveling with the boat over some longer distances, I would suggest making up a tool box to carry spare things that might be needed to do a repair on the road. In my "d**n-it" box I have an extra set of bearings, grease, rags, and seals. I also carry a seal puller, extra cotter pins and an adjustable end wrench to tighten the castle-nut. I need to add bearing buddy's again since my originals have now been replaced by my spares.
A roll of electrical tape, extra wire, gloves, etc.
I also have a break-down speed wrench for removing the tire. Many times the bolts on the trailer rim are different than your truck.
An extra scissors jack is not a bad idea either, although you can always use the jack in your truck...just a pain to have to tear into the truck to get things when it all can be in the box.
I didn't notice a spare tire on the trailer...if there is no spare, by all means get one!! I've seen way too many trailers up on a jack with one tire gone for repair... better to be able to bring the rig with you than leave it.
As for the boat, I would get a spare prop, cotter pins (if needed for that motor) grease for the lubing shaft and other moving parts that need it on the motor, extra set of spark plugs and a spark plug wrench for the plugs. I also carry electrical tape, some basic tools (screw drivers, phillips as well, pliars) oh...one big thing..extra fuses.
I also would suggest that if one did not come with the boat, is to get a good cover for it. Saves gas going down the road and can act as a deterrent to anyone stopping for a quick steal.
I'll keep adding things as I think of them...
