			<description><![CDATA[ I just purchased my 89 123 C42 about 18 months ago and I have lots of tools stashed &amp; cataloged throughout the boat but my favorite tool stash is the second drawer down in my nav station table. I keep the basics there ( screwdrivers, dikes, pliers,e-tape, small level, small hammer, etc). I use it all of the time. You can pull it out and bring it with you. 90% of my fixing is small fiddly things like latches, mounting fire extinguishers, installing small cabinet bumpers, etc. I also have a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Lets take a step back and look at the tool issue from a distance. How involved you get in fixing and maintenance is a matter of personal preference, but the choices are not as simple as might seem on the surface.<br>

            I had my fuel flow interrupted.....serious wave action must have gotten some crud loose behind a baffle and clogged the filters. I changed them at 2am, 150 miles from the nearest land. I could have diverted by sail alone and gotten a tow in near the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks everyone for the suggestions on tools.  I have to admit, I was a little suprised that people are packing as many tools as you seem to be.  I guess better safe and sorry.  Besides, I like to buy tools. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

            <br>
            I'm trying to leave the nav seat open for food supplies or other transient supplies.  I agree that it is much easier to access.  But, I hope the charterers have little need for the tool boxes.<br>
            <br>
            I'm still trying to decide where to put things.  I had to fill out an inventory form with locations for everything for the charter agency.  Wasn't easy.  I expect I'll be making revisions.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ken -- what do you put under your nav table seat ??? That is where I stash my emerg stuff and my major tool bag.  It's just so much easier access.<br>
            <br>
            I put my engine supplies under the forward salon seat and that is where I stash our &quot;drinking&quot; gallons of water.<br>
            <br>
            Just curious...... I wish I could jump around someone else's 42 to see where and how they stash gear.<br>

            <br>
            We also use two craftsman soft-sided bags, as well as a craftman zillion piece socket set in its own plastic case.  All fit in the area under the forward salon seat.<br>
            <br>
            For filters, adhesives, etc, we use small cheap red tool boxes from Ace Hardware.  They stack and stow neatly and we write on the outside what they... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Warren,<br>
            <br>
            I think the tool kit is dependent on whether you are going someplace remote where there are no parts suppliers and also how confident you are with do-it-yourself repairs.<br>
            <br>
            In a lifetime of sailing, some on my C42 and most on other boats, I have experienced lots of equipment failures.  However, only two of them have occurred repeatedly and required on-board repair.  These are clogged fuel filters and failed raw water pump... ]]></description>

            Parts: Miscellaneous SS hardware....screws, bolts, nuts, washers you can buy starter kits...projects will supply leftovers which will fill the Chinese food tubs....also electrical terminals, assorted gauge wire (12/14) black and red...I buy a spool, you can never have too much.
