What tool kit do you keep onboard?

My tools have rusted in a ballistic nylon zippered craftsman tool bag. I'll be using corrosionX on them this year.
 
They don't really make stainless steel tools (that are affordable for average use), but you can get chrome plated tools that help cut down on the rust. I am planning on purchasing some desiccant to keep in the tool kit once I buy it.

The fuel cap listed is actually a great idea; I remember watching one fall to bottom of the lake when refilling the jet ski years ago. The beaded retaining string broke as I removed the cap. In addition to a multi-function toolkit like others listed, I also keep a full set of spare plugs, and extra clean-out plug, just in case.
 
Just bought the Kwik-Tec P3 telescoping paddle/hook because of this thread. Thanks!
 
I keep waiting for @veedubtek to pipe in and show us his on board tool kit, but since he hasn't I will post the picture for him! This must have been taken before he moved it to the boat.:p

LOL. Yeah, it's a little tough loading and unloading, but if anything happens on the way to Bimini I'll be prepared!
 
Thanks guys I was short on the Jet tools for sticks ect...........Hook blades look to be a must I'll haft to add to my tool box....I also carry a small electrical tool box on board seems over the years I have wired around more than a few sensors to keep things running.
