So what kind of handy gadgets do you have on your boat that make boating life easier, safer or more fun? Maybe some of us can get some ideas. To start mine isn't fancy. A $10 flashlight that floats, has a ring for hanging, two little feet that keep it from rolling away when you sit it down. LED and standard AA batteries. Standard light, lamp mode, red marker mode and flashing red. If the two little contacts get wet it flashes as a red strobe if you have it on you and fall in.

Since I just showed this magnet in my other thread I’ll post it here. Bought it off Amazon a few years ago, I think it’s rated to pick up 800 lbs. I bought it to go magnet fishing but only used it once on my 242. Worked perfect to get my socket today!

Never would have thought of that one. Awsome!

Made an extension for my engine hatch piston. My 310 has a kick stand type of prop so I can set it on the prop and unpin the top pin retract the lift, add extension made from 3/4” heavy elect conduit re-pin and open up fully to allow easy access for working on the motors and generator

Good idea @Pat310

Plug for the hole that the table fits in. Provides a nice finished look and it keeps my dog from trying to drink the water that accumulates in it.

@davidbrooks where did you get it?

It came from https://bobsmachine.com/product/deckplugs-pedestal-seat-plug-1-77-inch-hole/  $20.

How do you get it out?????

I had something about the same in my old fishing boat. I drilled a small hole and tied 50 lb fishing line in a loop. to pull it out. If needed. 

davidbrooks

Small screwdriver will pop it out. To be honest i have only used that table once in 3 yrs. So it wont be an issue

I wonder if they have plugs like that for a round Magma grill hole; the edges are sharp.

This is a wireless, motion-activated light that clips onto the steel tubes of your bimini or enclosure.   No wires, it just clips on or off due to a special clip fixed to the back.

When I enter my boat from the dock at night, it lights up automatically.   Saves my shins, lights up the cabin door keyhole, and is just handy to have at night or in storage.    I've told others its like a refrigerator door light for my boat.
