Re: Spare Parts while on a LONG passage
What ever you take as spares will not fail. It will be the simplest, cheapest item, and you wont have it.

Re: Spare Parts while on a LONG passage
Interesting. Do you recall what you used for a high water alarm?

Re: Spare Parts while on a LONG passage
The water alarm, I believe, is a Rule. Float and an alarm with a light, about the size of a small engine gage.
Thanks

My Carver has one from the factory but my previous boat did not. Did not like the ones on the market because they look so old and found them quite big. Made my own with a float switch and this which is a combo buzzer/light. https://www.ebay.com/itm/One-AC-DC-12V- ... 2761539371
You can see it here on the starboard side. Pretty proud of the entire custom dash I made for that boat. Even went with push button start.

Re: Spare Parts while on a LONG passage
I was asked where I store all the spares. Actually that was only a partial list, I actually carry much more. All the parts are in the cockpit bilge and the engine compartment in numbered plastic bins. I keep a note book with the inventory and note which bin each part is in. While it may sound crazy to some, my trips are usually a week or two in areas that don't have full service marinas. I started carrying a lot of "stuff" when on one trip I had a leaking oil pressure sender. I just needed a 1/8" pipe plug to seal it off. After 3 days in a row at 3 different marinas, no plug! I finally found a dead engine in the back of the yard that I got one off of. I learned to prepare as much as I possibly could for any failure. Now since I'm a marine tech by trade, I don't pay full retail and I can install the parts as needed. My wife laughs at me for all the "prepping", but she is happy when the A/C pump quits and I replace it with the spare and the cabin is cool again.
