Found this nifty waterproof box in the Tupperware section of Walmart and thought it would make an excellent box to store my paperwork and emergency supplies in since the box I currently have them in tends to get damp. The new box has a gasket and latches on all four sides to secure the top well. Thought I would share a couple photos of my kit to remind others to check theirs and be sure they are good to go. I found that my flares will expire this year, so I'll need to get new ones soon. I also taped a plastic pocket like they give you for your fishing liscence to the inside wall of the container to keep my boat registration and title card in so I won't have to dig for them when the man comes to look me over.

Contents....
Title and registration cards
Boat manual
Motor Manual
Accident reporting form
1 Whistle
1 Pull Rope for motor
3 Handheld flares (need new ones)
1 flashlight (check batteries regularly)
1 lighter (waterproof matches would be a better choice)
1 Handheld VHF radio & manual (check batteries regularly)

A small 1st aid kit would be a good thing to have in there too, but I already have a huge one I keep aboard that is practically a medicine cabinet as well as a 1st aid kit. I keep it in one of those industrial size ziplock bags.

 Anyways, everyone stay safe on the water and be prepared should an emergency arise.

add a small basic first aid kit [bandaids neosporin gauze tape and some motrin] and you are set  [smilie=a_goodjob.gif]  [smilie=a_bravo.gif]  [smilie=a_bravo.gif]

Hey good idea thanks for the tip. beats keeping them in baggies

I just noticed something. Where it should say "Tile and registration c a r d s" it instead say "Title and registration spam" I just tried to edit it and in the edit field it reads correctly. Why is the word "c a r d s" being replaced with the word spam? Earl and Jim- you guys been fiddling with the blocked words list again? Don't make me start testing for forbidden words again Jim! lol.

I use a large flat toolbox with dividers similar to a Plano box for my 1st aid kit. It's a little big, but I have tried to plan for any minor medical need. Got medicines like anti-diaharreal pills, BC powders, Dramamine, and some other common stuff. Rubber Gloves, Band aids of all shapes and sizes, gauze & tape, ice pack bag, CPR masks, razor blades, ect. Anti-itch cream, bug bite stick, hand sanitizer (very important to use before tending to a wound), alcohol pads, and a ton of other stuff I cant think of right now. I don't like getting on the water and having something pop up that I am unprepared for that makes me uncomfortable all night, or makes me have to cut a trip short.[/u]

I have to see if I can come up with any pics of my first aid kit.
