I?ve read a lot on this site about the need to always have a tool kit on board for a mechanical emergency. I?ve read debates on what exactly one should carry for such an emergency. Spark plugs. A spare prop. A set of wrenches. Gas filter. Oil, etc.
I?m wondering whether any of you have had the need to use your emergency repair kit while on the water. And more specifically, whether having that kit and those parts made the difference between you making it back under your own power or perhaps needing a tow.
