My number one tip is 2 fold for an age old problem, stuck on the water!
A small set of jumper cables and the very compact jump box.
Jumper cables in case someone comes to your aid, and you can use them on your trolling motor battery battery to going.
The small jumper pack, small enough to carry with one hand can recharge your phone, provide a flashlight with a SOS function and the best part is it's there when you head back to the landing and and find the lights on and the truck battery dead.
Two objects that pretty much guarantee the boat AND the tow vehicle get you back home.
Thanks!

. I nominate this tip
Tks for sharing that with us. I carry jumper cables in my Stratos.
Bonus!! Seal your jumper cables in your vacuum sealer. No rust, you can throw them anywhere (so long as you remember where you put 'em), even in the bilge. If you have to use them, just reseal when you get home.

I have a jumper unit I keep in the boat and also put in the car when taking a trip. It saved me once when I was snowed in at the North Carolina mountain home and my son left the interior lights on when getting his suitcase out of the car. Without it I would have been screwed. Great tip! ~c~ ~c~ ~c~
I hope the tip helps. I have an engineering background and I try to do preventive. I keep an extra motor guide prop, prop nut and wrench. I'm not in the pros class nor do I have space for a spare Suzuki prop and sure dont have the funds for a spare trolling motor! I'm trying to find parts for the motor guide now. Fixed income is such a drastic change. When I was working I would have grabbed the plastic and had I pilot and spot lock! Some REALLY good advice on this forum for sure.

Thanks for posting the tip in here ;D
I also carry a jumper box and jumper cables in my boat.
Thanks for the reminder. I actually could have used one of these a few months ago.
Do you have to keep it charged? I have thought about getting some these for our cars as well, especially the wife
Top it off or plug it up to your phone charger in your car or home. The batteries inside dont lose much on the shelf. Most all of them have the mini USB charge port, the same one on most phones. You really do need the mini jump pack and the jumper cables to really prep for the inevitable.
