Beer fixes everything and rum makes the repairs easier.
Also take a few lengths of different size hoses- think fuel, and a few clamps to suit and a small bottle of steering fluid. It doesn't take up any room.

trailer bearings don't hurt and a spare tyre that's not flat on the bottom, fishing mags in case you have to wait for rescue.

Re: Tools and Spares
Whenever I work on the boat at home I just use the tools on the boat, so if I need to get/use a tool from the shed tool box, it then stays in the boat.
Spanner set and sockets, all small size
Mini bolt cutters for those big hooks that get stuck in your leg
Fuel filter, fuel hose and joiners & 12V pump to transfer fuel from tank to tank if needed
Spare bungs, even if they don't fit my boat, someone will need one someday
Steering hose and fluid
Super glue
Silicone tape, https://www.bunnings.com.au/rust-oleum- ... e_p4750200
Epipen, need to get a new one!
