Every year, we go on a "big boat trip". Last year was from our seawall to Lexington. Round trip was probably 120+ miles.
This year, its time for a Put-In-Bay trip to southern Lake Erie. Its 80 miles each way.
So naturally, I always panic a little before leaving on a trip like this.
I already have an extensive tool kit on board, extra v-belts, spare low & high pressure fuel pumps, extra sections of various hoses and worm clamps, extra wiring and connectors, 1 extra thermostat kit, 2 emergency impellers, 1 spare prop and wrenches to change. I switched all of my navigation lights to LED's and saved all the incandescent originals as spares and bring those too. I bought extra toilet paper, more waste tank treatment and a brand new water hose, should we hook up the boat to city water. I also bring a shorepower cord and just in case, a 50' regular extension cord with a shorepower adapter (you never know!)
I dont have any extra fuel/water separators but will buy a spare tomorrow ($8, big deal).
Am I forgetting anything that you feel is important? What do you bring on the bigger trips? I'd like people to add to the list so this is easier for the next person
Just kidding, sounds like everyone has a pretty comprehensive list, not much to add except for the "fun" stuff.
