My Boat Box is the big plastic box I put in the tow vehicle when we head to the lake. It's meant for short term and emergency service.

In it, I keep a quart each of the various boat fluids, battery charger, muffs, lug wrench (the jack goes along separately), gloves, wipes, emergency poncho, flashlight, heavy ratcheting straps, old handheld CB radio, paper towels.

In the boat itself is the tool kit (crescents, channellocks, diagonals, multi-tip screwdriver, a few pliers, electrical tape), boat and trailer registration, jumper cables, spare general purpose wire and wire nuts.

I reckon I should add a hub and grease, maybe some hand cleaner. and...?

What do you recommend and carry?
