small 2-part epoxy kit or "Plastic Welder" from Devcon. (stinks, but

bond blades to shafts during "big blade" retrofits...

Item 1 - corkscrew / bottle opener.
And now seriously - "choc block" (electrical connection strip) or
similar for fixing loose rudder cables. Waterproof box to keep it all
in.

On various boats I've used you also need:
Some random Allen keys, I don't know off hand what sizes they are.
...to make sure you have an open ended 13mm and 10 mm; there are
plenty of places on various boats that neither a closed end nor an
adjustable will fit into.

And for the many places that are easily accessible, a 10mm nutspinner.

Spider Wheelbrace - much easier on rigger bottom nuts than a spanner
and gets multiple sizes.
Safety pins for numbers.
Empacher slot
Spare seat wheels.

It doesn't much matter what you put in half will be nicked within 10 minutes
of putting down in the clubhouse!

wire...now if you could adapt this perhaps with a reel sort of
system...could this be a solution for the most essential tools...wired
10mm and screw drivers locked to trailer allowing rigging in immediate
vicinity

Cross head screwdriver. Philips will wreck cross head nuts.
Rob Collings
What do you mean by "cross head"? In normal use around here they tend
to by the same. It sounds like you mean Posidrive? If so, do that many
rowing fittings use Posidrive heads? I confess to blindly using
whatever looks like the right shape of screwdriver, but then I'm
generally careful to make sure it doesn't cam out when it gets tight.
Rob.
Richard
Pozidriv and Phillips are both forms of cross-headed screws.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives
I'll admit the subtleties of the differences are mostly lost on me and
like Rob I tend to use whatever screwdriver appears to fit best /
least badly (or usually whatever I happen to have in my tool box!).

Sorry, that was a fairly useless post. I meant posidrive. The main
reason I find for using them is on the screws that hold the shoes onto
the footplate.
Walter Martindale
If that's what you're using the posidrive/phillips screwdriver for, it
would also benefit you to use a drop of blue loctite on each screw
when assembling. (red is more permanent - needs heat - high heat - to
remove...)

I can supply you with virtually unlimited quantities of Bridgewater
Canal water; believe me, it locks shoe screws titer than anything else,
unless it be Irwell water.
Actually, for shoe screws what you need is a supply of unlockloose ...

although whether it is the best product for the purpose I don't know.

Some folks row on fresh water.... Loctite or other threadlock
products keep the screws from working loose - no joy at all having
your foot lift free of the foot stretcher during the start - worse
still after 100 m.
