Pickles Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 After 40 years of boating - CARRY SPARES 1. Forget to have a spare and left the key at home 2. Lost or forgot the winch handle and didn’t have a Spare. 3. Forgot to put the bungs in - or worse left them at home and didn’t have a spare. 4. No spare tire and got a flat 5. Winch strap broke and no Spare 6. Forgot to secure the “tie downs” 7. Didn’t check the fuel and no spare container on board. MORAL : Check your gear the night before and CARRY SPARES. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest123456789 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I carry some spares. Batteries, wheel bearings, car and trailer Tyre etc. but not everything mainly due to cost, spare space, weight and the effort of loading/maintaining lots of stuff.

Berleyguts Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I live 5 minutes from the ramp. I keep a spare bung in the car and a spare r clip for the trailer. I carry more fishing gear in the boat than I’m ever likely to need... I still usually forget something!🤷♂️😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
