For me:
I/O:
1. Spare prop with known good hub.
2. A wrench to remove the prop and retainer.
3. Decent 3/8" drive socket set. With spark plug socket of correct size.
4. Three pliers. Slip joint, needle nose, elec. crimpers.
4. One LONG spark plug wire.
5. Impeller (if Volvo)
6. Various electrical connectors..
7. Electrical tape.
8. Gorilla "duck tape". That stuff will stick to anything. Worth the extra $$$.
9. Appropriate fuses.
10. Lengths of electrical wire.
11. Engine accesory drive belt. If serpentine, a breaker bar to draw back tensioner.
12. Spare water/fuel seperator filter.
13. One quart-engine oil.
14. Small hammer.
15. Spare clamps of various sizes.
16. Roll of paper towels.
17. Sharp knife or box cutter. (Cut of many a rope the prop found in the water)
Outboard:
All the above plus:
1. Prop (stainless) cotter pins.
2. Outboard engine lube oil.
Trailer:
1. Small floor jack.
2. 4 way Lug wrench.
3. Tub of axle grease.
4. Spare bulbs for lights.
That sounds like a lot. I leave the thraier stuff in the pickup as I tow many trailers.
The boat kit weighs less than what you'd think and if packed right, pretty small in an waterproof plastic container.
My thought is that if you have it, you won't need it. I've NEVER been towed in.
What am I missing?
