Freshwater Boat mechanic here. Its funny to see little things that we all end up carrying- like a mini wire brush, red/green tape, and blue tape (why Don't we just use masking tape and write port?!?). Is interesting to see, I end up using a LOT of deepwell sockets, 1/4 and 3/8, and almost always grab the ratcheting combos. I'm going to try and add the swivel sockets and 6" impact extensions to my box, curious to see how much use they get! Great video+content

Number 10 socket! Everyone looses it. I actually use a pelican waterproof case with wheels. Amazing as i take it on the boat and keeps my tools dry and safe and it floats. #tools

Truly a Marine Technician tools. A very practical carry. I have only approx 60% carried around in my kit, as we have to walk major distance inside the sites..mainly remote areas. The weight factor plays a major roll. At the same time we have to ensure we carry all tools needed too. As just to come back to site is a major challenge at times

#Tools The most helpful tools for outboards are any tools that get into tight places and save knuckles! For those of us that sometimes need to get something done at our mooring or slip.....floating tools would be great. Ask me how I know. Bet there are a half dozen 10mm sockets, wrenches, and the odd screw driver in the harbor under my boat!!😂

#Tools - Most important tool for me is a small Streamlight flashlight so I can clearly see what I am looking at. I too am a marine technician and can be outside in the bright light trying to see in an area that is a bit dark. On occasion, I have diagnosed an issue simply by being able to clearly see what I am looking at without any tools.

The most important tool is your Brain! Yes, really! And you really know how to use it!...thank you for all the knowledge you are willing to share with all of us. #Tools

#tool I have a Milwaukee 2 in. Battery right angle grinder, with 2 in. Scotch brite pads it is fantastic for cleaning off gaskets and polishing up small parts. A real time saver and will slip right into that bag.The most important tool is a cresent wrench becase when all else fails...it works

Nice! I’m a master marine tech and carry a skimmed down version of yours.. getting older can’t carry all that stuff

Great run down! Many thanks!

This video couldnt have come at a better time. I'm getting ready to move back home to florida and I'll be doing service work at a boat shop. I have to say the impact is one of my most important #tools ! Something I use every single day and I also see you using it a lot as well. Thanks for showing me what tools I'll need to pick up here soon!

10mm wrench and socket have got to be the most used and the most lost tool ever! I tend to be a pack rat and the tool bags don't really work for me. Hate bringing tools to a job because I'm always missing something. It is unbelievable all the tools it takes to get stuff done. Usually something totally random but makes a job faster and easier. Love this channel!

The most important tool is going to be the 10mm socket, somehow you always ending up losing it. #tools

Congratulations @Jack Gonzalez you're this weeks contest winner! Shoot us an email to aaron@bornagainboating.com and we'll figure out which bag you want! Thank you for all your support and congrats!

#tools love the double hinge pliers and the magnet, because dropping things happens all the time.

Number 10 socket! i need to keeps my tools dry and safe #Tools 4 Born Again Boating

#tools extension bars are so key, having the correct lengths and enough can get you out of compromising spots.

Actually the most useful video i have ever watched. Congratulations 👏👏👏

#TOOLS I would say spanners. having a good set one can do quite different tasks on a boat. thanks for sharing your tool bag.

Awesome video!!! I really enjoy seeing what each trade carries in their own tool bag or tool box. Do you have any updates? Maybe another video on what you now carry in the tool bag? Your tool box video was great too!!! Thanks for the videos. I recently found your channel and have been enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work.

The Impact Driver! Makes jobs go a lot faster! Great info as always! #Tools

Thx. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊

#Tools The important tool is the 3/8 adapter w/6” extention with the10mm socket . I think it depend on which kind of job you are doing like if you are doing fault finding a multimeter is a must have tool or a 100hr maintenance a flathead,filter clamp, 10mm, plug socket.

I don't understand how you dont have 100k subs yet all the Information found here saves money and time Local from Tavernier FL keep up the great informative videos.

#tools Defiantly the the sharpie. Never ending uses for them. Awesome video! See you next week.

one tool I didn't notice was a torque wrench, inch, and foot lbs. 10mm used a lot on mercury, love your site it's "awesome"!!.

The 3/8 driver that fits your impact, must have!! #tools

Been waiting for this video. I work on Honda outboards and Detroit diesels more then anything. Once I'm out of the Coast Guard, you have my dream job. I couldn't be without the ratchet wrenches and the 3/8 drive sockets. My tool bag is a 5 gal. Bucket🤣 #tools

Looks like that ten mil would be one of the most used #tools used! Thanks for the great content!

I know this is an older video, but...a LoadPro and PowerProbe4 are an indispensable addition to track down most electrical issues...both of which I got from the usual market places, at a huge discount mainly because these are considered a 1 job tool...both of these, paid for themselves (full price) the 1st time i used them...not kidding, no affiliations with either product

#tools The most important tool in this video has to be the 10mm socket. I work as a mechanical tech on pipelines and I'd say the most important tool I use are the two 8" adjustable wrenches I always keep in my back pocket.

man you can do a workout session with your tool bag. 10mm socket and wrench have to be the most used tools, I know they are for me. keep up with the vids learning a lot thank you.

On a future video I would like to see what do you have on the shop tools box mainely to diagnose electric issues (like DVA's KV probe etc) and tools to desassemble lower units (like pullers or slide hammers etc) I build some of my tools as slide hammers to pull prop shafts/bearing carrier, washer claw wrench etc etc #tools

#tools Never saw or even knew the Double Hinge Long Bent-Tip Needle-Nose Pliers existed >My buddy used to tell stories about doing Marine repairs in Florida and having to retrieve nasty stuff from compartments where the bilge-pump was . These would have been great for that ! #Tools

That Alabama socket set or as you called it the crescent wrench jk it’s the 10mm I have one on my keychain. #tools

Great video as always.#tools

I've been a successful Automotive and equipment mechanic for well over ten years. I feel like marine mechanics are more well respected and also in short supply. I am really looking forward into this year making the big steps in transitioning to working in the marine industry full time. What Certifications are required in the area you work in? I was told the ABYC certs are probably what i should start with, whats your thoughts brother? I enjoy your videos a lot, thanks for taking the time to do what you do for us.

If you're a sausage finger guy like me those double pivot needle nose would be the most important tool. Second place would be the bag itself to carry all that crap around! #Tools

Exceptionally helpful to me as a junior Engineer. Thank you very much. May I ask what is the name of the zip ties with the hoop at the top please? Thank you.

#tools I’m going with oil filter wrench. Last service I did I didn’t have one and the job was a bear. Had tools for all the other stuff. Going to add one to my tool bag. The most important tool is the one you need for the job but just don’t have it at the moment!

#tools A full set of crescent wrenches in different shapes, angles and sizes is what I wind up using on my projects. Amazing how the "Golden" 10MM is always missing...

I'm all about the 10mm #tools - but i've got to say, i struggled for hours until i borrowed (cant afford it, but i think its worth it) a snap on ratchet 8 point box wrench with pivoting head. without it i would never have been able to get the exhaust manifold off my isuzu diesel. the 16 point one i had just couldn't grab it.

Crazy how the sun fadded the red Allen key holder.

#TOOLS. Nice video, I have about most of the tools you have. Scary lol. As for the 19 and 18 mm wrenches, keep them handy. Just used mine on my 2006 135 mercury verado to remove lower unit. 19 mm nuts and 18 mm bolt behind zinc plate. Keep making those great vids. Oh and almost forgot the most important tool is the bag to carry all that stuff in!

10mm seems to be your goto. I like the line clamp. I could use that on cars as well as my boat.

#tools I always carry two smaller bags, not so heavy. One of my most important tools is a multimeter.

The battery driver gun it dose every thing! #tools

The two most important tools for any mechanic knowledge & experience.with out either one you won’t get much done !!!

#tools I use the little pocket flatheads for all kinds of stuff. I probably have a dozen.

250 lumen or better headlamp, frees up hands, gets rid of shadows and blind spots. And seems like you're often working at night on boats in FL. After that 6 or more 10mm sockets short and deep, scattered around truck and in toolbox.

#Tools swivel adapter can be a huge time saver in many places.

Most important tool - If this is framed as only having 1 tool, it would have to be a Crescent wrench. If it was the most used tool in a full took kit, it would have to be a medium head phillips screwdriver. If it's what we won't leave the dock without, both of those are included along with a socket set. But, clearly the most important tool is between our ears - planning ahead.

I think it is vise grips

No doubts a 10mm in any format is very important. Something to pry with like a flathead screwdriver and something to cut will get a person a long way on a boat! #Tools

can you do a video about stering helm leaking oil

Get a regular paint knife , have it cut done like you would a knife and it makes a perfect scraper , Emory cloth . Sand paper and sctoch Brite pads are a must as well , 85% of my marine experience was on diesels ..... 1% gas in board or outboard Rest on outboards . I could the 2/3 drive snappy that is the size of a 1/4 saves a lot of sockets to carry

#tools The bag to carry it all!!

Hey great video. I need to own some of those #tools. I will talk to the snap-on guy.

Definitely the impact driver. Such a pain to loosen long bolts by hand. #tools

Your tools cost more than my entire boat. 😁 You should start a school for outboard and general boat repair. Real world training. You may even be able to get a local community college on board.

#TOOLS has to be the swivel sockets and impact driver. Swivel sockets have saved me on more then 1 occasion in some tight spots. Impact cause it makes life so much easier love my impact driver.

#TOOLS a lot of the tools we have seen being used in previous episodes. I have a lot of them for when I work on my boat😁. Hmmmm a lot of them are very important to pick one is extremely hard. But I would keep the ones you don’t really use just because I rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

#tools the magnet is the most import tool 'cause a nut or a bolt always falls into those very hard to reach places.

Most important?.. has to be that amazing claw hammer that's been passed down to you through the family over the years! #tools

#tools Many important tolls but I always carry a combo Phillips/flat head screw driver.

id say sparkplug sockets are important daily thing id use in that bag..of course a 10mm but I always like to start with compression.. #tools

6 inch extension with a 10mil socket... golden. #tools

Oil filter wrench. I do lots of oil changes on a rental boat fleet for work. #TOOLS

#tools can't go-to work without the 10mm of course. Throw together a video on recommended tools to keep on the boat. What specific tools you would keep for a Yamaha, a mercury, on the boat

Mine would be a impact driver,great video #tools

Do you think u could use a 3/8 universal 14mm for outboard gearbox’s

What was the tool with 1/4" ratchet on one end and 1/4" bit holder on the other? Make and model #? Very cool video. I also really enjoyed your toolbox tour. Thanks for the videos.

#tools I would have to say the 3/8 drive socket and 10mm with a swivel extension

#tools. The most important tool is the person carrying the tool bag, other than that it is probably that little 1/4 driver with the socket holder at one end and the screw driver bit at the other,

#Tools Most important, the camera stuff... So i can learn from your videos!

Nice video. Take off all that rust😁😁

#tools impact driver by far the most used tool for me!

10mm you always need but actually they are all important for working on outboard I’m going to tech school to be a outboard machine and I’m sure my bag would definitely look like that😂 I like your video man #tools

I’d say the impact. I use it on all of my 100 hour services and anything having to do with inside the boat. #tools

#TOOL The most important tool is the brain of the person caring the tool bag.

# tools I think the most important tool is a socket wrench great video also

#tools the tool bag!!

10mm socket and wrench bin working on boats pro for 15+ years,can't see a day I don't use a 10mm

The most important tool I would say would be the vise grips because in a pinch if they’re bull nose you can pinch hoses, you can use the to change batteries, you and lock them on and wedge them against something to take of through bolts you can’t hold and in screw at the same time, and many more things. #TOOLS

I would say the person using the tools, the tools are only as good as person that is using them. As always another great video. #tools

you are my mechanic boat prefered #tools

Hey all, my ignition makes the typical buzzing sound when you put the key in & turn it to the power position. However, when I start the engine it won't stop buzzing. The engine starts & runs great. It's a Yamaha 50 2 stroke. Any ideas how I can get this damm thing to stop buzzing?

It could be a wiring failure or the keyswitch, but its also very likely that there's something up with the oiling system and it's trying to tell you about it! Make sure the oiling system is working correctly!

19mm is for your 3/4 bolts when your 3/4 wrench went missing 👍
