I always carry equipment and parts in the boat just in case of an unexpected failure or problem. I carry a conversion kit to convert my foot control trolling motor to a hand control in a matter of minutes, incase the steering cable breaks or the pedal itself. Extra spark plugs and wires, spare prop, fuel filter, O2 sensor, fuses, breakers, electrical wire, and such. It takes up minimal space in my Skeeter, but is worth its weight in gold if a problems occurs during a tournament.
