My buddies' wife wants to buy him a tool kit for his "new" '04 4winns after it nearly sank last time we were out ("Hey Jeff, why is your bilge pump still running? you're welcome that I noticed...). It's a 5.0 EFI. Is this still SAE, or have they moved on to metric yet?

You'll probably need both to cover everything. My set is 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive. The sockets are metric and SAE in 12 point, 6 point and both regular and deepwell. If it is going to be carried on the boat don't get anything too expensive. They don't hold up in a water environment.

^ Plus 1 on both and as wide as a selection as you can find including 1 1/6th for the prop nut unless you have a Bravo 3 drive as that's much bigger and considered special tools.
