Collection: Tools

Boat maintenance covers a wide range of jobs, and the tools here reflect that range. Ti-Tackle focuses on propeller work, offering breaker bars and prop nut sockets in titanium, a material that resists saltwater corrosion and keeps weight down compared to steel equivalents. Before ordering a prop nut socket, confirm your prop nut size and engine make, since Ti-Tackle offers both a general 1-1/16 inch socket and a model spec'd specifically for Mercury V10 outboards. The 1/2 inch drive on these tools means you will need a compatible ratchet or breaker bar, so check what you already have in your kit. Sea-Dog rounds out the category with canvas and rigging accessories, including Add-A-Snap fasteners in multiple sizes and two finishes, white and black, designed to blend with different canvas colors.

For canvas snap work, size selection matters. The Add-A-Snap comes in 1-1/2 inch, 2-1/2 inch, and 4 inch versions, and choosing the right one depends on your existing snap spacing and the material you are fastening. Sea-Dog's Canvas Snap Tool pairs with these fasteners for installation. Davis Instruments also stocks tools in this category, rounding out the selection for general boat upkeep. Whether you are pulling a prop, refitting canvas, or stocking a basic onboard toolkit, it pays to confirm sizing and compatibility before buying rather than relying on a close enough fit.
