Does anyone have a list of the type and quantity of each spare fuse I should keep on the boat?
 
I don't know your specific fuse needs but I carry a variety pack of blade fuses and glass tube fuses that you can find at the auto part store. Even if you don't have the exact rating of fuse, you'll have something to get you home.
 
Or you could use a penny... or a foil gum wrapper... or my favorite, a .22 cal bullet... o_O
 
Or you could just light the boat on fire and jump overboard to save time...

Seriously, please don't use the penny method. Fuses blow for a reason. Jumping over them can lead you to a nice electrical fire that you probably won't discover until you are underway thinking you just dodged the bullet you didn't use as a fuse...
 
I've been looking for replacement fuses too and scored at ACE Hardware today when I picked up a complete set with two fuses of each size for $1.49. It came out of their bargain bin.
 
The only fuse I think you really need on board while on the water is the ECU fuse and there is a spare under the fuse cap of each ECU. I believe that is the only fuse that would keep the boat from running therefore making it necessary. The rest of the fuses are for instruments and accessories which can be dealt with when at home port.
 
Thanks for the help. Will probably grab a few of each flavor and be prepared should anything arise in the driveway or on the water.

Other than maybe the bilge pump fuse.
 
...or nav lights at night.
