    Default Boat/trailer emergency kit


    Don't be THAT guy, stuck on the side of the road or at the ramp.

    I keep the following things for situations whether trailering or on the water.

    Spare trailer hub (I have 2)
    Spare tire
    Trailer Jack (I have the Easy Lift and a bottle jack)
    Prop Hub kit
    2x4 block
    2-4-C grease (or whatever your personal choice is)
    Fuses
    Spark plugs
    Fuel filter
    Spare bulb
    Hand pump
    Spare plug for bilge
    Tools needed to do repairs
    First Aid kit
    Spare towels/rags
    Tire plug kit
    Electric air pump

    This is what I keep in my tool box on the truck and some in the boat, but the few times I have had problems on the water I was able to make it back to the ramp to repair.

    Some good ideas. I blew a boat trailer tire this spring. Lucky for me I got pulled over at a church parking lot and was able to find a brick beside the church to put under my truck bottle jack. Still....a pain in my backside having to dig out that jack from under my seat and then getting everything put back up like it came out.

    One thing a lot of people over look is there trailer suspension. I've put off rebuilding mine for several years because every time the weather was nice you got it I went fishing. Finally ordered the parts and made myself stay home and rebuild it. It was a way overdue. Equalizer plates and bolts were almost wore through.

    Excellent advice! I actually had a set of leaf springs break in two as I was pulling my Sea Pro out one day, collapsing the boats weight onto the tire. You won't go far like that!

    Thankfully I was able to cannibalize an old set off a cast off trailer at a nearby boat yard, but an ounce of prevention would have been worth more than a pound of cure!

    Very good advice. I actually saw a fellow with a off the wheel flat and one low tire at the ramp Saturday.

    I bet we are the only two that carry a complete hub.
