[Bacha]

Hello again guys, Thought that I would put together a list of tools that I personally take with me on my long trips. Please feel free to add or suggest any ideas that could help me and other
Just a note, this kit is tailored mostly around my 2018 RXT-X.



All of the above fits in the SeaDoo water tight container apart from No.16 which lives just strapped to the same container using the skies strap for quick use.
The wrenches and small bits are kept inside pouch No.26

1. Flash light ( might replace that with a smaller one I have at home)
2. Large and Small Zip-tines
3. Sharp blade
4. Locking pliers that can double as nose pliers
5. Multi screw driver with (Flat, Philips T30 Torx)
6. 13mm wrench
7. 10mm wrench
8. 8mm wrench
9. 1/4" sealed Ratchet
10. 1/4" hand driver which also doubles as an extension
11. 1/4" extension.
12. long 13mm 1/4" socket
13. long 10mm 1/4" socket
14. long 8mm 1/4 socket
15. long 7mm 1/4 socket
16. T30 Torx T handle
17. Some wire and a spear rear drain plug
18. Temp hose sealing tape
19. Some Clamps
20. Spark plug tool

This is just tools, I do carry a VHF radio with me at all times and a strobe light that is attached to my life vest.
I also have a knife attached to one of my fish rod holders on the cooler for quick access.

Cheers all and happy riding!

Maybe long needle nose for getting stuff out of intake grate. Maybe flextape and small can WD40....

Salt or freshwater? How many miles?

[Bacha]

Salt water, 90miles ish a day for 3 days .. needle nose sounds like a good idea! Tape I do have some yes. And we do carry some sea doo lube .. it’s not wd40 but it will keep some bits lubricated

Your list is quite thorough.

I keep spare hose clamps installed on the hoses, so I can quickly move them into place if needed.

I also keep one of these to dig debris out of the pump/impeller:

A socket to remove the intake grate could also come in handy for difficult to remove debris.

I picked up a small wood chip once that I could not get out and had to get towed back. Once I was back home and removed the intake grate, it came out with little effort.

If riding offshore or in the "boonies", I also carry VHF radio, flares and a telescoping paddle.

Great thread! Still working on putting my kit together so, thanks all!

substantially more effective when you realize the coast guard is not going to find you, you have a dead battery and there are two large sharks nudging your ski..and you're bleeding from closing the hood on your hand

Fire extinguisher and small lithium Ion jump starter wrapped in plastic. Spare water for long trips and maybe flares.

What about an anchor?
