-Adjustable wrench, 10, 12 & 13mm boxed ends, screw driver, wire dikes, hammer, basic tools to work on whatever and a leatherman but not the tool shed...
-Electrical tape, zip ties.
-Couple of hose clamps and a brass barbed coupling in case a fuel line gets a hole, or the oil cooler busts.
-Spare gas bulb, had the barbed nipple break off one night and the didn't know until the motor ran out of gas, could not get the sob primed back.
-Mikuni rubber boot, original still looks fine but read too many having them crack...
-Super glue gel. Actually glued the plastic barb back in the bulb that broke and it held, plus if you get a deep cut it goes along with the first aid kit.
-Stick of JB waterweld. May or may not get me out of a bind one day. Plenty of sharp jagged rocks around here :lol:

Every one needs a cresent wrench, it will save you ass!!

I carry a rachet and socket to fit everything on the motor I can handle on the water, some zip ties, electrical tape, various screwdrivers, a multitool, and a phone in a lifeproof case!
