- John Crews is a 20 year veteran professional bass angler so you can count on him having seen almost everything go wrong on the water. His bass boat is loaded with most all the essential tools that he feels are necessary to keep you in action while boating. Be sure to check out all the ones he keeps in each of his bass boats.

All good things to have in the boat, John, but especially the right size socket and power bar, not just for your prop but for the trailer lug nuts as well. I have helped so many folks out over the years who have a spare tire but no trailer jack or wrench in their truck...and don't forget that tow rope .
Great video, I learned the hard way that you need to keep tools in the boat at all times. Was stuck on the water for 4 hours until I got help.
Great job John,
Being prepared can help save the day! When things go really bad and you may need to spend the night in the boat because you are remote.
Have those essentials too. Great one.
Thanks for the video. I just bought my first bass boat. This will give me a good starting point on what I need to keep in the boat. Now I just have to wait for this stay at home order to end in my state so I can go pick it up.
Man! I have some tools nothing like that. I know your on the road alot and need everything. The livewell thing happened to me at bugs and it will fill the entire back of the boat with water. This was another great video man!
Good video, glad to see I'm not the only one who carries way too many tools :) I would add spare hose/worm clamps (pretty sure I saw some in one of your bins but it's worth mentioning) and a small multi-meter for troubleshooting electrical issues. Of all the things I've seen go wrong on the water, electrical problems have by far been the most prevalent. With all the technology on boats these days, between multiple fish finders, talons/power poles, trolling motors, etc. there are so many electrical connections that are bound to eventually have corrosion from all the moisture inherent in a boat, and having the tools to locate & fix problems is essential.
Whatsinanameanyway13 Yes! I’ve got way more tools in my truck. 👍🏼
Thank you!! I'll get these first before I get my boat.
Great advice and tool set. I’d add a multimeter. It has come in handy multiple times diagnosing problems. Also, spare fuses are a must. Lastly, some nitrile gloves in case I have to work on something where my hands mights get oily.
My grandma always said hope for the best plan for the worst! You could build a house with all them tools broham!!
Good stuff John. As much time as you spend (and have spent) on the water, I respect your opinions on this. It’s going to rain heavy tomorrow , so I’m going out to do an inventory on my tools😊
mburke1211 Good idea!
thank you
The weight is offset by the piece of mind. Thanks for another informative video, I'm newer to owning a boat but years of being a auto mechanic has made me over cautious on the "what ifs", the wife's cars trunk has its own tool box, small floor jack, cigarette lighter air compressor, etc. so I respect your opinion 100%
Shawn_r_Schultz fishing Thanks man
great video but with all them tools I wouldn’t get on step lol I personally leave majority in the truck besides a spare prop and fuses and a jump started .
John thanks for the info would be helpful if you could possibly add a list at the bottom of the video with tools you listed
I've got all the tools, now I just need the boat 😁
It's a wonder your boat floats!
A charged cordless drill is great. But, if you keep the battery out of the drill and off of the charger, it will last drastically longer. Not only the charge in the battery but the life of the battery as well. Best of luck.
Dive mask and a magnet
You tools cost more than my boat.
😂
dude mercury uses metric
I can’t fix much on my motor so wouldn’t do me much good. All the boat is standard units.
@@JohnCrews i hear ya they dont make it easy these days. but at least grab a 10, 13, and 8mil sockets. maybe a sparkplug.
You're going to hate the day your life depends on a gator grip socket. Those things are trash!
