Hunter Association of Puget Sound (HAPS to you) is sponsoring a thread on engine spares for cruising in coastal waters.
Assumption: You are within five hours' sail of a boat repair facility, and two days away from being able to get a specific part to that facility.
What engine/propulsion drive spares do you need to have aboard?
I'll begin:
Impeller replacement kit (Impeller, puller, glycerin, washer)
One spare belt for each belt onboard
ResQtape and hose clamps (hose repair)
Spare prop
Oil filter
Primary and secondary fuel filters
Sufficient oil for full replacement.
Sufficient antifreeze for full replacement
