    We put wire cutters in the new boat too, after a bad run in with a submerged abandoned crab trap.

    .....and it takes up a heck of a lot less room in a small flats boat with little storage.

    We changed the prop on a Suzuki 250 engine 110 miles offshore! Sure didn't want to drop that prop nut!!!

    Everyone should have a Prop-Aid. Ask Louie Baumann if they really work.

    humph, didnt think of that, that is an easy thing to put in the hatch with those things. Good heads up. Oh, and we always have some kind of silicone spray, corrosion type spray on board.

    I haven't had good dealings with those prop wrenches and carry a ratchet/socket.

    Oh yeah, I keep water always on the boat, and I change it out every time it goes out. That was one excellent thing to be said. Thank you.

    if the hub is to far gone like mine was once, you would have to put it in gear & to be safe,remove your lanyard.

    x2 on a small 2x4, put it in a zip lock bag
