Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | What do you carry onboard your boat for a release and first aid/repair kit for your clients/tournament partners/guests and boat? I have a release kit with hook cutters, LONG pliers with different tips, a clipper for line, mouth spreaders, kevlar and rubber gloves, a length of line, sunscreen, insect repellant, antihistimine, aspirin, ibuprofen, extra sunglasses, an extra hat, electrical connectors and pliers, electrical tape, whistle, flashlight, Family frequency radio, portable ship to shore radio, full first aid kit, a multi tool, flares, and a multi tip srcewdriver. What else, or variations of this, do you carry onboard? I have all of this except the release tools in a gasketed dry box in the storage bin in front.

Location: Kawarthas, Ontario | I carry a Beckman Magnum Finsaver Pen net, a 30 pound Boga Grip, and a stainless release gaff. (Double-headers can happen, and it's good to have an alternative to deal with them.) As far as tools go, I have several pairs of Stanley rubber-handled vise grips, a pair of Knipex cutters, 4 pairs of long-handled pliers (1 straight, 2 45 degree, and 1 90 degree), 2 jaw spreaders (the ends wrapped with tape), and one extremely sharp knife.
I carry a huge first-aid kit in my boat that includes gauze pads/wraps, bandages, band aids, a solar blanket, scissors, tape, antibacterial creme, aspirins/tylenols, matches, and a first aid book among other things, that are stored in a watertight sealed plastic container.
Being prepared for the unthinkable is important!
