Home Maintenance Kit

There are plenty of regular maintenance tasks you can handle at home, so long as you have the proper tools. Your kit should include a moisture meter, which will provide a quick digital reading of the moisture levels inside your boat. If you want to take on basic battery maintenance, you should pick up a battery terminal puller. This simple and inexpensive tool allows you to safely loosen terminal bolts without harming the battery.

 An adjustable face spanner wrench is another good investment. This tool functions as a deck key, helping you access the sea-strainer, fuel-fill, and water-fill caps. You should also keep a set of jumper cables on your boat in case of battery failure. Of course, your boat maintenance kit is not complete without a sailor’s multitool. This tool combines a marlin spike, a rope cutter, a hex-nut wrench, a paint scraper, and several other useful implements into one small package. We hope you found these tips helpful!
