All the above + appropriate socket and wrench (or iron) for the lug nuts on your trailer. In the boat, not in the truck, just in case you blow out while a buddy is towing.

Depends on the boat brand as to how big of a tool kit you will need. Anything Tracker don't worry about extra screws, bolts and nuts thier are always plenty laying around in the bottom of the boat.

Also spare relays to fit trim&tilt, jackplate, and starter, also a socket to fit your trailer wheels (your truck may not be the same size)

Definitely a deep socket. Had a blowout on my trailer last week and would have never gotten the nut off of the bolt that holds my spare tire in place without it. A heavy jack and 4 way tire tool came in handy too. A big thanks to Matt Martin of Martin Pro Outdoors for the assistance!

Also backup bulbs for your running lights. Almost didn't get to fish a tournament but a fellow fisherman gave me one.

I keep a strong magnet tied to a string and a throw hook with a weight on it and a long line tied on. Hopefully I wont drop anymore rods in the lake, but if I do at least I will have a better chance to get it back.
