Re: Don't leave the dock without...
I assume that the spare gas is for it someone screws up on planning, the place you wanted to get gas was closed, or fuel use was higher than expected for some reason. Could always serve the same purpose by bending your gas gauge sending float a bit to reflect a few gallons less than is in the tank...
On a serious note, I have one fairly small dry bag that i maintain with basic tools (wrench set, scredwdrive and star driver set, pliers, cutters, vice grips, prop wrench, etc), spare plugs, spare belt, batteries (for gps, radio and flashlight), extra flashlight, license / paperwork, $100 cash, duct tape, a tube each good (3m) fast curing marine adhesive sealant and less temporary silicone sealant, superglue, alligator clip jumper wires, spare bulbs for running lights, spare fuses, a few pieces of fuel line and radiator hose in a couple of sizes,some assorted hose clamps, two small spools of wire, one steel and one electrical, cell phone, phone numbers of people who care enough to come get me, hand-held gps, container of "bably-wipes" and a roll of toilette paper. Amazing what you can repair / make on the fly with pieces of hose, clamps, good silicone some duct tape and wire... Thayt bag pretty mush stays in the boat or truck with everything except for the cell phone in it. I carry spare powersteering fluid and oil in the boat and we always pack water and food or at least snacks before heading for water....
oh, spare 20-round magazine of green tips.. just in case...
