Marine tools?

[buck91]

Looking for some very basic tools to leave on an old pontoon which only sees short underways a few times per year so I really don’t want to spend much. Problem is we never have a screw driver when needed.

Right now I have some old needle nose that rusted up but have been doing well for the past two years after a fluid film soak.

I want to add at least a flathead and #2 Phillips. I can grab a couple of spare drivers and wipe them with fluid film as well hoping for the best…. In fact I will likely do this. But if there any decently priced stainless steel screw drivers out there? Looks like wera makes a set for $50 but this offers no benefit to me over replacing a $4 pair every couple years as needed…

I carry a pair of vise grips that have the wire cutter, a 4 way flip over screw driver, extra long pair of needle nose and a pair of slip joint pliers, a 3/8 ratchet and sockets that fit my prop nut and the motor mount through bolts, folding knife and a long pair of forceps. I keep them oiled and in a plastic box that has a rubber gasket along with some parts like fuses, cotter pins, electrical tape, water proof epoxy stick ect. I picked up most at either the pawn shop or Harbor Freight.

I was going to say crayons

I would get a Klein bit driver, some adjustable wrenches, a hammer and some punches, and whatever else you can think of and put them in a water-tight case with some dessicant bags.

Oh, and a Craftsman 3/8" flat tip. No kit is complete without America's prybar.

I thought it, but wasn't going to be the one....

Like cars have done, marine engines have gotten complex. Still good to have some tools. Freezer bags are more heavy duty than normal zip-lock bags. Spray with oil, WD40, FF and don't wipe it off.

My 2011 VP engine/outdrive needs a laptop & $800 adapter to read engine codes. And I have 3 or so OBDII scanners for cars/trucks but not marine engines.
