BB what's the cost on those? You know my battery paranoia.

I have a standard kit on board that has first aid, flares, flags (which people always forget about), a whistle etc. I also carry some tools and a headlamp. Thing is ultra bright and I keep hands free, especially for docking. It's also good in case you need to get at something in the engine and don't want to be trying to hold a flashlight.

and the single most important safety equipment is... an oar. always an oar. Saved me more times than I care to count.

The one I got was about $75 & the ones my techs have are about $150.
Mine has a light on it and cane with a extra dual battery for my phone all in a nice bag. Hasn't let me down yet. I'll get another when it dies. I've had it for a good 4 years.

I carry the jackets and flares the state of NY mandates. Plus, one of those nice "Kobalt" tool kits from Lowes. Now it all makes sense!
A jump box is a great idea..

Always had either a mounted spotlt on the boat or a high power corded. This is pretty handy for signaling the helo. Also for general use... had a chance to use last night. No cord is great and very good on high power with 3 settings for use around the dock.
