Knowledge on how to operate all aspects of the craft, docking in various scenarios, navigation rules, total respect for how fun but dangerous boating can potentially be. The most valuable thing I have on board is the development of proper foundational habits. Be sure to learn the proper way of doing things. Many new boaters dont, and they can be dangerous out there.
 
To include above. I also keep an assortment pack of stainless steel hardware items (screws nut, bolts ,wasters etc) and my 12v DeWalt drill/driver is always helpful...
 
Double hose barbs along with those earlier stated clamps can save the day if you have a leaky hose.
assorted size cork plugs
i know a guy who keeps assorted size nerd balls (they can plug a hole and they are fun for the whole family
 
Ok went shopping today bought a home repair tool kit, and a jump box.... I wanna order the fiberfix tape and magma grill....
 

We needed that in a hurry when we found out we had a leak in the bilge! It was where the idiot guy who bottom painted our boat 18 months ago (had to have it done again since then) blocked it under a transducer and dislodged the transducer and its seal. Have a new transducer now too. It's good stuff to have on board just in case.
