The Best Boat Accessories for Fun on the Water

Make every aquatic adventure safer and more enjoyable with these genius additions to your boat.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us?

Whether you’re new to boating to boating or an experienced boater , there are always ways to bring more fun on board, while also making sure everyone has a fun, safe time out on the waves, big or small. These useful tools, toys —yes we consider a cooler a toy, albeit a useful one—and other accessories are the things we want to have on board to make boating more fun. Some are inexpensive gifts, and others a little pricier, depending on what you're doing with your boat and who you’ve got on board.

The Best Boat Accessories

Best Handheld Spotlight

Goodsmann 6000 lumen rechargeable led handheld spotlight.

Best Boat Cooler

Rtic 52-quart ultra-light cooler.

Best Towable Float

Wow sports ducky towable deck tube for boating, what to consider.

There are practical things you need to have on a boat, like an anchor and life vests and there are things you should have on a boat, like a first aid kit , but where boating really gets fun is how you accessorize your watercraft. With a boat—no matter how big or small—customization is king, whether you’re a speedboater, fisher, lake-cruiser, or wave-chaser. With these boat accessories, we’ve considered which tools you'll need to have on board and which accessories you'll definitely wish you had on board before you leave the dock.

The most important thing when thinking about accessorizing your boat is how will something be used. Is it something you need to have aboard for safety reasons, but hope you won't have occasion to use, like flares? Is it something that will only be used once or twice a season, like an onboard grill? Or is something that’s going to give everyone a lot of enjoyment?

We think there’s a great reason to have the needed things, obviously. But it’s also important to have some extra fun things aboard, especially if the boat you’re buying for is a fun boat and you’re bringing the friends and family out for a first-rate time. As such, we’ve identified some of the most practical things to have on board, as well as some of the most fun things to stow below deck.

How We Selected

We fathomed all manner of boating accessories and explored the depths of how people use their boats. We also thought about all the times we’d been on boats and didn’t have that one thing we were really hankering for, or to do. We used this to guide us on an even keel to pick these fun and practical accessories for boats and boaters.

For more great ways to say safe on your aquatic adventures check out our picks for the best adult life jackets , kids' life jackets , and dog life jackets .

• Special Features: Red light filter

Even if your boat already has a spotlight, a great waterproof, handheld torch like this rechargeable 6,000-lumen light from Goodsmann is a great tool to have on board to for boating at night. You can use it to spot anything off the port or starboard side and it's great for helping you dock, too.

With 6,000 lumens, this spotlight will light up the heavens as well as depths below. Thankfully, it’s waterproof to 3 feet, floats, and has a leash in case you drop it overboard. The red light filter also is helpful for seeing things at night when you don’t want to shine too bright a light that could disturb wildlife or other people.

Yeti may have made coolers cool again, but they sure did make them expensive. This injection-molded, 52-quart cooler from RTIC is a less expensive option and can hold ice for up to 10 days; the divider and basket will also come in handy if you need to keep one side open for the fish you just caught and away from the beer, veggies, and burgers you brought—you know— just in case .

It’s rugged enough to take a beating and stay closed in a frothy squall. But the nonslip feet are a nice touch to help keep it from slipping around on the deck if you don’t have have it strapped down.

• Weight Capacity: Can support up to 3 adults and 510 pounds
• Weight: 30 pounds
• Dimensions (L x W): 86 x 74 inches

The Big Ducky can haul up to three people and its wide platform makes it hard to flip over.

Coleman Stearns Adult Classic Series Life Jacket

• Designed For: Adults 90 pounds and up

They’re also available in children’s and infant versions. They are Coast Guard-certified Type II life jackets, which are made for near-shore type boating.

• Screen Size: 4 inches
• Frequencies: CHIRP 50/77/83/200 kHz
• Special Features: Built-in GPS, scans to depths as deep as 1,600 feet

There are far more expensive, bigger-screened, and more full-featured fishfinders out there, but this compact offering from Garmin punches well above its 11.2-ounce weight. It’s a compact sonar mapping device with GPS capabilities for mapping wherever you are, and it's also got good clarity for imaging the fish around you.

Adventure Medical Kits Waterproof Marine 600 Medical First Aid Kit

• Designed For: Treating up to 6 people 6 hours from care
• Weight: 5.8 pounds
• Dimensions (H x W x L): 5.8 x 12 x 10.6 inches

The kit includes pouches for different types of emergencies and an instruction manual to help you properly use the kit in a trauma situation. It also includes CPR and hypothermia care.

• Material: 600D waterproof polyester
• Special Features: Removable, padded harness

This is more than just another dry pack. The Sea to Summit Hydraulic Dry Pack 65L is a durable, roll-top, waterproof dry sack that also happens to be a backpack with an easily removable harness. It is one our top picks for dry bags , and we love its versatility.

The pack is available in 35-, 65-, 90-, and 120-liter versions and is perfect for keeping your stuff safe and dry, whether you're packing for a solo day on the lake or multiple days out with friends and family.

• Weight with Batteries: 0.8 pounds
• Special Features: Flashes USCG spec SOS signal for up to 60 hours

Of course you probably don't want to have occasion to use this US-made electronic flare, but if you do need to set off a flare, this is a much better alternative to shooting off pyrotechnic versions, which only last a short while. This beacon can signal for up to 60 hours, is visible for up to 10 nautical miles, and has a vertical light beam as well for aircrafts to see.

Eversprout 5-to-13 Foot Boat Hook & Scrub Brush Kit

• Length: Extends from 5 to 13 feet
• Weight: 1.5 pounds
• Special Features: Interchangeable hook and brush

A boat hook is a valuable tool to have on board any boat, whether you're using it for docking, grabbing rope in the water, or retrieving items that fall out of the boat. This floating Eversprout boat hook also comes with a brush attachment, making it easy to clean even hard-to-reach spots on your vessel.

Magma Cabo Adventurer Marine Series Gas Grill

• Grilling Area (L x W): 9 x 18 inches
• Weight: 11.7 pounds
• Materials: Stainless steel
• Fuel Source: Propane

What’s better than spending a day on your boat? Cooking the fish you just caught off the side for dinner! The Magma Cabo may be compact, but its cooking surface has enough room to prepare a tasty meal for everyone you have aboard.

The stainless steel grill won’t corrode like other materials and it has a lockable lid to keep it secure in choppy water and to keep sea fowl—and the greedy fingers of your guests—out when you’re cooking!

Must-Have Boat Accessories: Essential Gear for Every Boater That You Didn’t Think Of

When it comes to choosing must-have boat accessories , it’s crucial to consider safety, convenience, and usefulness Essential safety equipment can include life jackets, fire extinguishers, and navigation lights, while entertainment or comfort-focused accessories might consist of waterproof speakers, GPS, or fish finder systems, and comfortable seating options.

We examined an array of boat accessories and compiled a list of the must-haves that will make your time on the water safer, more comfortable, and enjoyable.

19 Must-Have Boat Accessories

As a boating enthusiast, I’ve gathered a list of the best must-have boat accessories to enhance your experience on the water. Check out my top picks below to ensure you’re well-equipped on your next boating adventure.

WELL-STRONG Waterproof First Aid Kit

This waterproof first aid kit is a must-have for boating enthusiasts who want to be prepared in case of emergencies.

• Waterproof design keeps contents dry and usable
• Contains water-resistant bandages for wet environments
• Durable and long-lasting bag
• Quality of supplies could be better
• Limited space for additional items
• Bright color may not be preferred by some users

As an avid boater, I’ve found the WELL-STRONG Waterproof First Aid Kit to be an essential accessory because of its reliability and effectiveness. It provides the necessary items for emergency situations, whether it be minor cuts or bruises that occur during water-based activities.

What sets this first aid kit apart from others is its waterproof design. The roll-top closure and hot-pressing technology prevent water from getting inside, ensuring all contents stay dry and usable. I appreciate the added assurance, as I’ve previously had experiences with non-waterproof first aid kits becoming useless due to water damage.

Another great feature is the water-resistant bandages included in the kit. There’s nothing worse than needing a bandage while wet, only to find that it won’t adhere to your skin. The bandages in this kit stick well in wet environments, making them a valuable addition.

However, one drawback I noticed is the quality of some supplies. While the contents are sufficient for minor situations, they could be better in terms of durability and effectiveness. Additionally, the limited space in the bag makes it difficult to add extra items that may be needed on the boat.

Finally, the bright red color of the bag may not be everyone’s preference. While it does make it easy to locate during an emergency, some users might prefer a more subtle color.

Overall, as someone who has used the WELL-STRONG Waterproof First Aid Kit on numerous boating trips, I highly recommend it for its waterproof design and practical contents. Despite a few minor drawbacks, this kit is a necessary addition to any boat to ensure you’re prepared for all possible situations.

NautiCards Nautical Knots Quick Reference Chart

This waterproof NautiCards Nautical Knots Quick Reference Chart is a must-have for boaters, providing all the essential knots with ease.

• Large, easy-to-read diagrams
• Waterproof and durable
• Suitable for beginners and experienced users
• Limited to 21 knots
• No step-by-step instructions
• Not suitable for advanced users

I had the chance to use the NautiCards Nautical Knots Quick Reference Chart on my last boating trip, and I must say I loved having it aboard. It made reviewing my knot-tying skills a breeze, and the waterproof design held up well against the wet conditions.

The chart’s simplicity is one of its best features. Rather than flipping through knot-tying books, this single 8.5″ x 11″ sheet has clear diagrams for all the most important knots. As a beginner, I found it quite useful. However, more advanced users looking for a larger variety of knots might find it limiting.

One thing I noticed is that the chart doesn’t provide step-by-step instructions for each knot. While the diagrams are clear enough for me to figure out, absolute beginners might have some trouble. It’s essential to practice ahead of time before relying on it in urgent situations.

All in all, I’d highly recommend the NautiCards Nautical Knots Quick Reference Chart for casual boaters and sailing enthusiasts seeking a handy and durable guide to the most critical sailing and boating knots. Don’t embark on your next water adventure without it!

Boat Gadget 10-in-1 Tool

The Boat Gadget is a must-have for boaters seeking a versatile and practical all-in-one tool.

• 10-in-1 functionality
• Durable and user-friendly
• Great gift idea for boating enthusiasts
• Slightly expensive
• Limited tool access in certain spaces
• Plug tool placement could be better

I recently got the chance to test out this innovative 10-in-1 Boat Gadget, and it certainly did not disappoint. With an array of essential tools packed into one compact, handy device, I found it extremely useful during my day out on the water.

The Boat Gadget is a true boater’s dream. It’s designed to reduce clutter on the boat by replacing multiple tools with a single versatile gadget. As someone who appreciates organization, I enjoyed having everything I needed right at my fingertips. The Boat Gadget includes a bottle opener, corkscrew, drain plug wrench, survival whistle, gas cap key, and more – many of which came in handy throughout the day. It even has an included clip to attach it to a surface for easy access and storage.

While I found the gadget to be durable and well-crafted, there were a few minor drawbacks. First, the price seemed a bit on the higher side for what it is. Additionally, due to its length, the tool may not be suitable for all spaces, preventing full turns and engagement in tight spots. Lastly, the placement of the plug tool could be improved to enhance its ease of use.

Overall, despite these minor issues, the Boat Gadget is a great tool to have in any boat owner’s arsenal. It’s perfect for those who value convenience and practicality, and would also make an excellent gift for any boating enthusiast.

Universal Boat Flag Marine 12″x18″

This all-weather flag and pole kit is a reliable and stylish addition to any boat for displaying patriotism.

• Durable construction withstands various weather conditions
• Easy installation for flag poles of varying diameters
• Fade-resistant nylon fabric maintains vibrant colors
• Sharp edges on stainless clamp ends
• Attachment straps may loosen in strong winds
• Flag size may be too large for smaller boats

I recently added the Universal Boat Flag Marine 12″x18″ to my boat and immediately noticed the impressive craftsmanship. The embroidered stars on the heavy-duty nylon fabric are beautifully sewn, and the colors remain bold and bright even after exposure to the sun and saltwater.

The flag pole attachments were a breeze to set up. With this kit, I had my flag flying in just minutes. However, I noticed that the stainless clamp ends were quite sharp and could potentially cause an injury if not handled carefully. I decided to file down the edges a bit for safety purposes.

While sailing, the flag has held up well in various weather conditions, even on windy days. Nevertheless, I had to readjust the adjustable straps on a particularly gusty day, as they seemed to loosen slightly. This was not a major concern, but something worth noting for those sailing in high-wind environments.

Overall, I found the Universal Boat Flag Marine 12″x18″ to be a great investment for displaying my patriotism on the water. Although there were a few minor downsides, the durability and ease of installation more than make up for those concerns. I recommend this product to any boater looking for a high-quality, all-weather American flag.

HEETA Waterproof Dry Bag

The HEETA Waterproof Dry Bag is a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable solution to keep their belongings dry in water-related activities.

• Waterproof and durable design
• Multifunctional with adjustable straps
• Transparent for easy item identification
• Not suitable for underwater sports
• Only up to 0.02-inch thick material
• Smaller sizes may have limited storage capacity

I recently took the HEETA Waterproof Dry Bag with me on a kayaking trip, and I was amazed at how well it protected my belongings from water damage. The seamless technology used in the construction of the bag proved efficient at keeping my items dry, even when subjected to splashes during boating.

The durability of the bag is noteworthy as well. It is made from 0.02-inch thick wear-resistant material which allows it to adapt to different weather conditions and environments. This bag does not seem to be easily prone to damage or wear, making it perfect for various outdoor activities.

One feature that I found particularly helpful was the adjustable shoulder straps and handle, allowing for versatile carrying options such as shoulder carrying or using it as a backpack. This made it very convenient while boating, rafting, and kayaking. Additionally, the transparent design of the bag made it easy for me to find specific items without rummaging through the bag, and I could even read messages on my phone through the material.

However, it’s essential to note that the HEETA Waterproof Dry Bag is not suitable for underwater sports since its waterproof capability is targeted at boating and kayaking. Also, the 0.02-inch thickness may not be as sturdy for more extreme conditions or extended use. Lastly, while the bag is available in multiple sizes, the smaller sizes may limit storage capacity for those who carry numerous items during their adventures.

Overall, the HEETA Waterproof Dry Bag offers a much-needed solution for outdoor enthusiasts to keep their belongings safe from water damage. With its waterproof design, durability, and multifunctional features, it is a must-have accessory for those who frequently partake in water-related activities.

SANLIKE Telescopic Boat Hook

The SANLIKE Telescopic Boat Hook offers practical features and durability, making it a must-have accessory for boating enthusiasts.

• Luminous design for easy night-time use
• Lightweight yet durable aluminum material
• Floats when fully extended
• Hook attachment might be weak
• Issues with tightening the telescoping sections
• Not suitable for heavy-duty tasks

When I first used the SANLIKE Telescopic Boat Hook, I immediately appreciated its lightweight aluminum construction, making it easy to carry around without feeling burdened. Equipped with a non-slip rubber grip, I found it comfortable to hold even on hot, sweaty days. Additionally, the portable lanyard at the end helps to avoid losing the hook.

One feature I particularly enjoyed was the new luminous bead design, allowing me to easily locate the hook on my boat at night. When extended, the boat hook floats on water, which is beneficial in case it accidentally falls overboard. The highly visible bright blue color also assists in finding it quickly.

However, I found a few downsides to this boat hook. At times it was difficult to tighten the telescoping sections, causing the hook to collapse or extend freely. Moreover, the hook attachment could be stronger, as it seemed to struggle with heavier tasks. Yet, for light to medium tasks, the SANLIKE Boat Hook proved to be a reliable and useful accessory.

In conclusion, the SANLIKE Telescopic Boat Hook is a great addition to any boat owner’s toolkit, particularly for docking, unhooking, and handling light tasks. While there are some improvements to be made, its innovative design and lightweight construction make it an asset on the water.

BOGG BAG Original X Large Waterproof Washable Tote

The BOGG BAG Original is an excellent investment for anyone in need of a spacious, waterproof, and durable tote for various occasions.

• Large capacity and tip-proof design
• Waterproof, washable, and durable material
• Versatile usage for beach, boat, pool, sports, and more
• Might be too large for some users
• Strap-twisting issue upon delivery
• Heavier than expected

I recently used the BOGG BAG Original for a beach trip, and I was impressed by its generous size. I could easily fit towels, snacks, and our family’s personal items without feeling cramped for space. Plus, the tip-proof design and durable material provided peace of mind when placing it on sand and uneven surfaces.

Another feature I appreciate is the waterproof and washable aspect. After a long day at the beach, it was simple to rinse off any sand and dirt stuck to the bag. And, the EVA material allows for quick drying, which is a huge advantage for those who frequent water activities.

The straps on my BOGG BAG did come twisted, but I followed the instructional video provided to untwist them easily. While this issue was relatively minor, it might be irritating for some users. Additionally, the bag proved to be heavier than I expected, which could be a downside if you plan to carry it for extended periods or fill it with heavy items.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I highly recommend the BOGG BAG Original X Large Waterproof Washable Tote for its spacious design, waterproof material, and versatility. This bag has quickly become my go-to for beach trips, boating, and other outdoor adventures.

Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle

The Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle is a must-have for anyone in need of reliable and durable boat accessory during emergencies on the water.

• Collapsible from 20″ to 42″ for versatility and easy storage
• Designed to float and highly visible
• Lightweight and durable with corrosion-resistant aluminum shaft
• Might be too short for larger boats
• Blade material may not be suitable for heavy-duty usage
• Locking mechanism could be improved

As an avid boater, I always make sure to have the right accessories on hand, and the Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle has proven to be an excellent addition to my emergency kit. Its collapsible feature allows me to store it easily without taking up much space, ensuring that it’s always ready for use when needed.

Upon using this paddle, I was impressed with its sturdy construction, including the corrosion-resistant aluminum shaft and high-impact plastic blade. Although lightweight, weighing only 1 lb 5 oz, it held up quite well during my time on the water. The bright orange color ensures that it’s visible in case of an emergency, and the fact that it’s designed to float only adds to its practicality.

One potential drawback of the Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle is that it might be too short for larger boats, limiting its overall use. Additionally, its high-impact plastic blade may not be suitable for heavy-duty or demanding situations. Moreover, the locking mechanism could be a bit more secure to prevent slipping during usage. Despite these concerns, the paddle has served me well during my boating trips in both salt and freshwater environments.

In summary, the Attwood Emergency Telescoping Paddle is a valuable and reliable boat accessory for any boater looking to enhance their safety and preparedness on the water. Its collapsible design, lightweight yet durable construction, and floating feature make it an ideal choice for those in search of a reliable emergency paddle.

Better Boat Super Absorbent Towel

This highly absorbent and versatile towel is a must-have for any boat owner seeking quick drying and scratch-free cleaning.

• Extremely absorbent and quick-drying
• Suitable for various uses – car, boat, or cooling towel
• Soft, lint-free, and scratch-free material
• May become rigid over time
• Requires proper storage in container
• Might not be as effective on large surface areas

I recently tried the Better Boat Super Absorbent Towel, and I can confidently say that it exceeded my expectations. The towel is made from sponge-like synthetic chamois PVA material, which makes it ultra-absorbent and quick-drying. This feature was especially useful when I needed to dry my boat quickly after a long day out on the water.

As someone who has experience with multiple towel materials, I can vouch for the softness and scratch-free nature of this synthetic chamois towel. I found it to be a valuable asset in safely drying my car and boat surfaces without leaving behind any unwanted streaks, lint, or residue.

One aspect I appreciate about this towel is its durability and easy maintenance. It is machine washable, long-lasting, and ethical, being vegan and cruelty-free. However, I noticed that the towel can become rigid if not kept moist or stored properly in its container. Keep this in mind, as flexibility is essential for optimal usability.

In summary, the Better Boat Super Absorbent Towel is an all-around versatile and valuable addition to your boat, car, or even exercise accessories. It ensures safe and efficient cleaning and drying, all while being gentle on various surfaces. Though it has some minor drawbacks, the benefits and affordability make it a must-have item.

EZAKIE Boat Trash Bag Large Boat Trash Can

This large capacity boat trash bag is a must-have accessory for a hassle-free day on the water.

• Large capacity holds 80+ cans
• Waterproof bottom prevents leaks
• 360° bottom zipper for easy emptying
• May be too large for smaller boats
• Handles could be more comfortable
• Metal buckles may eventually rust

During my time on the boat, I found the EZAKIE Boat Trash Bag to be extremely efficient in keeping the deck clean and organized. With a higher capacity and larger opening, this bag made it easier to throw away trash without making frequent trips to dump the garbage.

Being waterproof at the bottom ensured that any spilled drinks from cans and bottles did not leak out and create a mess. Moreover, cleaning after use was a breeze, as a simple water rinse was enough to get the bag ready for the next trip. The 360° bottom zipper feature made it even more convenient as it allowed me to empty the trash bag effortlessly, thanks to gravity doing its work.

One aspect that really stood out to me was the stability of the bag. The two detachable straps on the top and bottom helped secure it to the boat even in turbulent water or strong wind conditions. However, I did notice that the handles could have been more comfortable for better grip during transportation.

While the rust-proof metal buckle ensured a longer service life, I felt that it might break or rust over time due to constant exposure to water. This could compromise the boat trash bag holder’s durability in the long run.

Overall, the EZAKIE Boat Trash Bag is a practical and convenient accessory that makes managing trash on a boat a lot easier. Its large capacity and easy-to-use design make it suitable for groups looking to spend a day on the water. However, those with smaller boats may find it a bit too large and may need to consider other options.

Better Boat Premium Boat Scuff Erasers

These erasers effectively clean dirt and scuff marks from your boat, making them a must-have addition to your boating accessories.

• Effectively removes dirt and scuff marks
• Safe on various surfaces, no harsh chemicals
• Durable with a reinforced core
• Takes significant pressure and time for some cleaning tasks
• Breaks down faster than expected
• May not be effective on mold

I recently used these Better Boat Premium Boat Scuff Erasers on my own boat and I must say, they did a good job at removing dirt, grime, and scuff marks without the need for any harsh chemicals. Just moisten the erasers with water, squeeze, and wipe surfaces clean. They’re safe to use on fiberglass, leather, vinyl, plastic, aluminum, gelcoat, and metal surfaces, making them a versatile cleaning tool.

One thing I noticed is that for tougher marks, it takes some pressure and time to fully clean the area. Taking my boat out on several trips, I encountered some stubborn scuff marks that required a bit more effort. However, in comparison to using cleaning chemicals and brushes, it’s a much easier and safer method.

The erasers have a reinforced core for durability, but I found that they break down faster than I expected. After a few cleaning sessions, I found myself needing to replace them. Despite this, they remain an essential accessory for boating enthusiasts.

In conclusion, the Better Boat Premium Boat Scuff Erasers are a convenient and effective way to clean your boat without the use of harsh chemicals. While they may not be perfect for every situation and might break down faster than desired, they still make a valuable addition to your boat maintenance kit.

TSOTMO Boating Lover Makeup Bag

The TSOTMO Boating Lover Makeup Bag is a perfect accessory for storing essentials during your boat trips and cruise vacations.

• Multifunctional storage use
• Durable and easy-to-clean canvas material
• Adequate storage space for daily makeup
• Manual measuring error in bag size
• May be too small for larger items
• Limited color and design options

I recently started using the TSOTMO Boating Lover Makeup Bag during my boat outings, and I can confidently say that it is a great addition to my packing essentials. This multifunctional bag not only holds my cosmetics but is also useful for storing jewelry, electronic accessories, toiletries, and other small items.

The makeup bag is made of canvas, which is both soft and comfortable. I appreciate that it is dirt and abrasion-resistant, making it easy to clean after each trip. Additionally, the bag is lightweight, allowing me to carry it without any hassle.

The storage space of the TSOTMO makeup bag is just right for my day-to-day makeup necessities, including lipstick, lip gloss, makeup brushes, and eye-shadow. I no longer need to rummage through my belongings searching for individual items as this bag keeps everything nice and organized. Its lightweight and portable design make it easy to grab and go, ensuring that I always have my essentials within reach.

On the downside, the bag size has a potential manual measuring error, meaning it may be slightly smaller or larger than the listed dimensions. This could impact the number of items I can fit inside the bag. Additionally, the size may not accommodate larger cosmetics or toiletry items. Lastly, the bag has limited design and color options, which might not suit everyone’s preferences.

In conclusion, the TSOTMO Boating Lover Makeup Bag is a worthy accessory for anyone who loves to cruise or boat, given its multifunctional usage and durable material. Just be aware of the potential size discrepancies and limited design choices before purchasing.

EVERSPROUT Telescoping Boat Hook

The EVERSPROUT Telescoping Boat Hook is a versatile and sturdy accessory for any boater, making docking and retrieval tasks easier.

• Lightweight and durable 3-stage anodized aluminum pole
• Telescopes up to 12 feet, with a floating design
• Galvanized locking mechanism prevents rust
• Foam may wear out over time
• May be slightly less sturdy at full extension
• Lacks a rubber cap on the pushing end

I recently used the EVERSPROUT Telescoping Boat Hook for docking my boat, and I was immediately impressed by its lightweight yet durable design. The 3-stage anodized aluminum pole provided me with up to 12 feet of reach which was enough for handling various tasks while boating.

The pole’s design features a galvanized locking mechanism which ensures that it remains rust-resistant. This was particularly important to me, as it ensures the boat hook remains durable and ready for action even after being exposed to water frequently. However, I noticed that at its maximum extension, the pole felt slightly less sturdy, but it still managed to handle tasks adequately.

One thing that surprised me was the floating design of both the extension pole and boat hook. I accidentally dropped it in the water, and fortunately, it floated for a few minutes – more than enough time for me to retrieve it. As a minor drawback, I did notice that the foam grip on the handle may wear down over time, but the overall quality makes up for this small downside.

On the pushing end, I realized that the boat hook does not have a rubber cap, which would have been useful when pushing off other boats to avoid surface damage. However, the hooked end still performed well for maneuvering and docking purposes.

In conclusion, the EVERSPROUT Telescoping Boat Hook is a practical and reliable accessory for any boater. It offers a good combination of durability, reach, and well-thought-out features like the floating design and rust-resistant components. Any minor drawbacks are easily outweighed by its overall performance and usefulness.

Funmit Trailer Ball Lock

The Funmit Trailer Ball Lock is essential for securing your boat trailer, providing peace of mind and ensuring safety.

• Heavy-duty materials
• Adjustable for various coupler sizes
• Easy installation
• Unclear instructions for ball orientation
• Lightweight construction
• Only one key per lock

After using the Funmit Trailer Ball Lock on my boat trailer, I found that it offers impressive protection against theft. The lock is constructed with high-quality solid A36 steel and aluminum alloy, which ensures its durability, rustproof abilities, and weather resistance. I appreciate the heavy-duty materials since I often take my boat out in various conditions.

The 11-position ratchet allows for easy adjustment, making it versatile for different coupler sizes. I could conveniently secure my trailer, whether it had a 1-7/8″, 2″, or 2-5/16″ hitch. The installation process was simple, and it only took about a minute to get my trailer locked up.

However, there’s a minor issue with unclear instructions regarding the ball’s orientation. The ball has a round side and a flat side, with the round side facing the trailer’s nose direction. This is easily solvable once you’re aware of it, but it would be helpful to have clearer indications in the instructions.

Another concern with the Funmit Trailer Ball Lock is its lightweight construction. While it provides reasonable protection, some users may prefer a more robust and heavyweight lock for added security. Additionally, each lock only comes with one key, which means you need to be careful not to lose it.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I believe the Funmit Trailer Ball Lock is a must-have accessory for boat owners looking to secure their trailers. Its heavy-duty construction, adjustable design, and easy installation make it a worthy investment for guarding your valuable property.

AURUZA Mesh Beach Bag

This AURUZA Mesh Beach Bag is a must-have accessory for your boating and beach adventures due to its large capacity, multiple pockets, and durable material.

• Spacious with 10 pockets for organization
• Made of strong, lightweight mesh materials
• Multi-functional and foldable for convenience
• Might have an unpleasant smell upon arrival
• Possibly not suitable for heavy-duty use
• Could lack structure when not filled

I recently used the AURUZA Mesh Beach Bag Waterproof Sandproof Tote on a boating trip and I must say, it proved to be a fantastic addition to my collection of boat accessories. The bag’s large capacity allowed me to carry everything I needed for the day, from water bottles and towels to sunscreens and toys. Moreover, the bag is large enough to store items for up to 5 people, making it ideal for family outings or group trips.

The bag comes with 10 generously-sized pockets, including an internal zipper pocket for valuables. These pockets enabled me to keep my belongings organized and separated, while the deep and large external pockets easily accommodated my water bottles and sunscreen. The internal zipper pocket came in handy for discreetly storing keys, smartphones, and wallets without any risk of losing them to sand.

What sets this bag apart is its multi-functionality. Not only is it perfect for beach and pool outings, but I’ve also used it for shopping, outdoor sports, and even as a laundry bag and gear storage. Additionally, the bag is foldable and easy to tuck away when not in use, making it a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags on shopping trips.

However, a minor drawback I experienced was an odd smell upon unboxing the bag. It’s recommended to wash the bag and leave it out to air before using it. Also, while the material is strong and lightweight, the bag may not be the best choice for heavy-duty use or carrying large amounts of weight.

In conclusion, the AURUZA Mesh Beach Bag offers much-needed functionality and organization for your boating and outdoor adventures. With its large capacity, multiple pockets, and convenient features, it’s a must-have accessory for anyone seeking an efficient and stylish solution to carrying their essentials. Just make sure to wash and air it out before using it to eliminate any unpleasant odors.

NIUTRIP Bungee Cord Dock Line

A must-have accessory for boat owners looking for secure and convenient docking.

• Easy attachment and quick docking
• High tensile strength and load capacity
• Shock-absorbing design
• Limited color options
• May need additional length for larger boats
• Initial stiffness can require a break-in period

I recently used the NIUTRIP Bungee Cord Dock Line and found it to be a reliable and efficient solution for docking my boat. The loop and hook at each end provided easy attachment and allowed me to quickly secure my boat to the dock, which was a significant improvement from my previous traditional dock lines.

The material used in the bungee cord dock line is of high quality, ensuring a secure and worry-free docking experience. With a 2200-pound tensile strength and the ability to hold boats up to 4500 pounds, I felt confident leaving my boat docked with these lines. Additionally, the shock-absorbing feature in the bungee cord prevented any sudden jerks or strains on my boat, cleats, and dock.

While using the NIUTRIP Bungee Cord Dock Line, I did notice a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, the color options are limited, which may be a concern for those looking to match their boat’s color scheme. Secondly, the initial stiffness of the dock lines required a break-in period before they became more flexible. This could cause difficulty when trying to stretch the lines to their full capacity initially.

Overall, the NIUTRIP Bungee Cord Dock Line is a valuable and efficient accessory for boat owners looking for a secure and convenient docking experience. Though there may be minor drawbacks, the pros undoubtedly outweigh the cons, making it a worthwhile investment for any watercraft owner.

Better Boat Trailer Wheel Chocks with Rope and Wheel Dock

I highly recommend these must-have Better Boat Trailer Wheel Chocks and Wheel Dock for their reliability and effectiveness in keeping your boat trailer secure and stationary.

• Effective in preventing unwanted rolling
• Heavy-duty, sturdy construction
• Suitable for tires up to 26” in diameter
• Made from plastic material
• Wheel Dock may be challenging to maneuver
• Durability might be questionable over time

When it comes to keeping your boat trailer secure, whether it’s parked on pavement or dirt, these Better Boat Trailer Wheel Chocks deliver exceptional performance. I was genuinely impressed with how effectively they prevented my boat trailer from rolling or sinking into the ground. The chocks act as reliable immobilizers, ensuring that my boat remains stationary when not in use.

The heavy-duty construction with thick, UV-resistant plastic contributes to the reliability of these chocks. However, although I found them to be sturdy enough for my needs, I wonder how well they will hold up in the long run, given that they are made of plastic material.

One significant advantage these chocks offer is their capability to secure large wheel sizes up to 26″ in diameter. This makes them versatile and suitable for boats, RVs, and travel trailers with varying tire sizes. However, I did find the Wheel Dock somewhat challenging to maneuver when trying to fit my front wheel into it. Still, with a bit of practice, I managed to position it correctly.

In conclusion, although the Better Boat Trailer Wheel Chocks and Wheel Dock have a few drawbacks, their effectiveness in keeping your boat trailer secure and stationary outweighs these minor issues. I recommend this essential boat accessory for anyone looking to improve their boat trailer’s stability and safety.

Buying Guide

When it comes to selecting the best boat accessories, there are several factors you should consider to ensure you’re choosing the right products for your needs. In this buying guide, I’ll provide some helpful insights on what to look for when investing in essential boat accessories.

Functionality

First and foremost, consider the functionality of the accessory you are planning to buy. Make sure it solves a problem or fulfills a specific need on your boat. Accessories that serve multiple purposes or can be used in various ways are typically more valuable and efficient to have on board.

Quality and Durability

The quality and durability of the boat accessory should be a top priority. Look for products made from high-grade materials that can withstand harsh marine environments and resist wear and tear. Researching the product’s reputation and reading customer reviews can help you gauge its quality and durability.

Ease of Use and Installation

Ease of use and installation are key factors to consider when purchasing boat accessories. Opt for products that are user-friendly and require minimal effort to install, especially if you plan on doing it yourself. If the installation is complicated, confirm whether professional installation is necessary before making a purchase.

Price and Budget

Boat accessories come in various price ranges, so you’ll need to establish a budget before making any decisions. Keep in mind that, while more expensive products generally offer better quality and durability, that isn’t always the case. Be sure to compare similar products across different price points to find the best value for your money.

Compatibility

Finally, ensure that the boat accessory is compatible with your specific boat model and size. Some accessories may only fit certain boat types, while others may require additional components or modifications. Familiarize yourself with your boat’s specifications, and double-check that the accessory will work seamlessly with your boat.

By considering these factors and evaluating each prospective boat accessory, you’ll be able to make well-informed decisions when outfitting your vessel with essential and valuable additions.

22 Best Add-On Accessories for Any Boat

Shaye baker.

• Mar 12, 2024

The product recommendations on our site are independently chosen by our editors. When you click through our links, we may earn a commission. 

There is a massive market for third party marine products. Whether you’re wanting to polish off your brand new rig or breathe new life into a classic ride, adding the best after-market accessories for any boat can do just that. We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite products that we’ve tested over the years, as well as a sampling of others based on reader recommendations. These products are hand selected for their ability to make you more effective and efficient on the water. We covered everything from tool holders to wiring, lighting to securing features and convenience items to safety items. These wide array of options will enhance your boat and make time on the water easier and more worry free.

1. DD26 FISHING BILLET TOOL HOLDER

Most new boats have tool storage at the ready in every direction. However, if your boat is more than a few years old, it’s likely your pliers are bouncing around on the floor getting rusty right now. Well no more, thanks to the DD26 Tool Holders .

See our full review of the DD26 Fishing Billet Tool Holder here .

2. T-H MARINE G-FORCE TROLLING MOTOR HANDLES

Pull on an old rope trolling motor cord one too many times and you’ll find yourself sitting on your butt in the bottom of the boat, if you’re lucky. The unlucky ones end up in the water when these old-style cords break. Restringing a broken pull cord on the water is a pain all on its own. Switch over to a G-Force Trolling Motor Handle with a metal cable cord and you’ll be glad you did.

3. BASS PRO SHOPS SLIM LED UTILITY STRIP LIGHT

Fishing at night, last-minute rigging early in the morning or digging around in a dark livewell for that last keeper at weigh-in time; all of these things are easier done if you shine a little light on the issue. Adding LED lights to your rig is easy and affordable these days.

4. ASHMORE MARINE BUMP BOARD HOLDER

One of the simplest but most handy features on new boats is bump board storage. It’s a mess in the making when you’re fumbling around looking for your measuring board while simultaneously unhooking a fish and trying not to float up on a spot. Adding the Ashmore Marine Bump Board Holder to your boat keeps your measuring board safely stored while also within reach whenever you need it.

5. DD26 SPOOL STIX FISHING LINE WINDING TOOLS

Spooling fishing line can be a pain if you have to do it alone, especially in a boat. If you toss the spool on the floor and let it bounce around while you re-spool, you’ll be picking out a backlash on your first cast due to all the line twists. While there are a few tricks you can use to prevent this, the DD26 Spool Stix takes the guesswork out of re-spooling on the boat. It will hold the spool for you when you need it and stow neatly out of the way when you don’t.

6. T-H MARINE HOT FOOT ORIGINAL FOOT THROTTLE

If you’ve never driven a boat with a Hot Foot in it, you’re missing out. The hands free capability of varying the speed of your boat not only makes for a safer ride, but also a more intuitive one. It’s just like driving a car when you have a Hot Foot in your boat. It’s up to you whether you keep your hands at 10 and 2 or not, but at least you’ll have the option.

7. MDX BOAT PRODUCTS BOUNCE BUSTER

A similar product to the Troll-Tamer, the MDX Bounce Buster mounts to the deck of your boat and puts a stop to the beating your trolling motor bracket takes on the water. Unlike the Troll-Tamer, it doesn’t lock your trolling motor down. What the Bounce Buster does is offer vital support and takes the place of built-in trolling motor supports that usually come standard on some brackets, which runs the risk of breaking rods against the deck when stowing the motor.

8. POWER-POLE HEAVY-DUTY SPIKE

A Power-Pole Heavy Duty Spike is one of the more versatile and affordable ways to secure your boat in place when on the water. Whether you fish from a bass boat, jon boat, kayak or some combination of all these, you can take your Spike from one fishing platform to the next. Push it into the bottom of the lake bed and then tie it off to sit still, fish, re-tie or do whatever you’d like until you’re ready to go again.

9. TRANSDUCER SHIELDS AND SAVERS

The marine electronics market is booming, and the transducers used with these graphs aren’t cheap. Protect your investment from getting knocked off by stumps, rocks or worse with a Transducer Shield and Saver. There are several models of these designed to fit many popular transducers. Visit the company’s website to find the compatible model for your transducer.

10. T-H MARINE TROLL-TAMER TROLLING MOTOR LOCKING SYSTEM

The T-H Marine Troll-Tamer is a great product for any angler who frequently fishes rough water. Whether you’re bouncing around on the Great Lakes or just clearing a couple boat wakes at takeoff, worrying about your trolling motor taking a beating is the last thing you’ll want on your mind midair. The Troll-Tamer locks your trolling motor to the deck when stowed and then unlocks with the flick of a switch when you get where you’re going.

11. DD26 FISHING ROD TIE DOWN STRAPS

If your boat doesn’t have rod tie down straps, this is a must-have addition. Imagine hitting a rogue wave one time or forgetting an open and occupied rod lid, you could cost yourself hundreds in lost gear. Adding rod tie down straps to the deck of your boat is an easy and great way to safeguard your rod and reel combos.

12. PRECISION SONAR GRAPH MOUNTS

Marine electronics are a critical part of the bass fishing game right now. You can invest thousands into them very quickly. Taking care of your graphs is vital, so pair a mount with them that’s up to the task. Precision Sonar has a graph mount solution for almost any situation. Shop their site by boat brand and model.

See our full review of the Precision Sonar Graph Mount here .

13. SEA CLEAR POWER WIRING HARNESS WITH SWITCH

In line with the electronics theme, clarity is also critical. The ever advancing capabilities of graphs require ever advancing components to carry power to them. Most stock wiring configurations in boats aren’t up for the tasks. However, you can clear things up in a hurry with Sea Clear’s Power Wiring Harness , which ensures your graphs are running at max capacity.

See our full review of the Sea Clear Power Wiring Harness with Switch here .

14. TRANSDUCER SHIELD AND SAVER SHALLOW WATER WEDGE

If you like to fish shallow, you’re likely aware that your boat can get into some pretty skinny water, especially if you disengage your bracket and hold your trolling motor halfway out of the water. The only problem, this is a fatiguing task. With the new Wedge from Transducer Shield and Saver, you can prop your trolling motor up and lock it in position so that you can get your boat as shallow as it can possibly go with ease.

15. T-H MARINE DUAL USB BLUE LED OUTLETS

From phones to GoPros and everything in between, we’re in constant need of charging ports for our devices these days. These dual USB outlets offer a cheap and easy solution for your power pulling needs.

16. BALDWIN IRON WORKS RECESSED TROLLING MOTOR FOOT PEDAL PAN TRAY

If your foot-controlled trolling motor pedal is sitting on the top of a flat boat deck and you’ve never known anything else, get ready to have your life changed. The now standard recessed foot trays in bass boats mean no more jacked-up-knees and Captain Morgan stances. Thanks to aftermarket ingenuity, products like this foot pedal tray from Baldwin Iron Works are available for older boats and even newer ones that don’t have this feature as an option.

See our full review of the Baldwin Iron Works Recessed Trolling Motor Foot Pedal Pan Tray here .

17. TRICK STEP BOAT TRAILER STEPS

Get a little age on you and that jumping-out-of-the-boat bone will quickly disappear. Having a set of sturdy steps for entering the boat when it’s on the trailer is super handy…or maybe footy, I guess. Either way, Trick Steps make it easy to enter and exit the boat if it’s parked in the shop. Especially when loading and unloading the boat at the lake.

See our full review of the Trick Step Boat Trailer Steps here .

18. RETRACTABLE CLEATS

If you have old-school cleats on your boat, you’ve probably nearly killed yourself tripping on them and all but certainly lost a rod or two to their gravitational pull. Though these old cleats are great for tying off to a dock, they are a hazard otherwise. Installing retractable cleats to your ride will keep docking convenient while making your boat safer for man and rod alike.

19. NOCO BOOST ULTRASAFE LITHIUM JUMP STARTERS

Imagine your cranking battery dying once out on the water without a way to get it back going; you’ll never let it happen again. A common set of jumper cables can often get you out of a pinch, but if you’ve been on the water all day and your trolling motor batteries are drained too, it could be curtains for you even with jumper cables onboard. Keeping a quality jump starter box in your boat is one of the safest ways to ensure you won’t be stuck out there, dead in the water.

20. T-H MARINE TACKLE TITAN LURE HANGER KIT

Magnetic lure hangers offer great storage solutions for wet baits so you can let them dry out before placing them back in their boxes. They’re also perfect for storing oddly shaped tackle like spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. The hanger kit also allows you to keep a few of your favorites close at hand to tie on in a hurry. It’s a quick and easy install and a convenient way to store several different things.

21. DD26 FISHING MEAN STOPS GEN2 HYDRAULIC STEERING LOCKS

When the boat’s in tow, the motor needs to be locked securely in place to prevent damage to the transom as well as the steering system and supports. Plastic steering locks serve the purpose for a while, but often dry rot in time. This won’t be the case with DD26’s aircraft-grade aluminum Mean Stops . The motor itself will dissolve to dust before these things do.

See our review for the DD26 Fishing Mean Stops Gen2 Hydraulic Steering Locks here .

22. TOW BOAT US

Though this is a less tangible add-on compared to the other products on this list, it certainly comes with benefits you can feel. Tow Boat US offers a subscription service that brings with it a nationwide boat towing fleet with 24/7 assistance if you need jumping off, fuel delivery, ungrounding or towing. This is for any boat the subscriber owns, borrows or charters. Freshwater subscriptions are $109 per year. Services are available for saltwater anglers as well at the price of $175 per year. I personally used this subscription once to pull my boat in from Lake Kissimmee all the way back to Toho, without paying a dime more than my subscription price—this one tow would have cost thousands otherwise.

10 Vital Boat Accessories for the Smart Owner

Owning a boat is one of life’s great pleasures, whether it’s for leisurely cruises, thrilling water sports, or fishing expeditions. However, every boat owner needs to ensure that their vessel is equipped with the necessary accessories to enhance their experience on the water. These accessories not only improve safety and convenience but also add to the enjoyment of boating. In this article, we will explore ten essential accessories every boat owner needs to fully optimize their time on the water.

1. Life Jackets

Life jackets are non-negotiable when it comes to safety on the water. Regardless of the size of your boat or the distance you plan to travel, life jackets are an essential accessory for every person on board. Modern life jackets are lightweight, comfortable, and come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your specific needs.

Whether you’re boating in calm lakes or navigating through more turbulent waters, having enough life jackets for every passenger ensures that everyone is protected. It’s important to select life jackets that are certified by your local maritime safety authority and that suit the weight and size of each person.

2. Anchor and Anchor Line

Even if you're planning a short trip, an anchor is one of the ten essential accessories every boat owner needs . Having the ability to stop and enjoy a quiet spot or to secure your boat in case of engine failure is crucial. Anchors come in various sizes and types, depending on the size of your boat and the depth of the water.

In addition to the anchor itself, you’ll need an anchor line, which should be at least 5-7 times the depth of the water in which you plan to anchor. Having this in place will ensure that your boat stays securely in position.

3. Navigation Lights

Navigation lights are crucial for safe boating, particularly when you’re out during low-light conditions like early morning, dusk, or at night. These lights help other boaters see you and can prevent collisions. It’s important to have the correct lights installed on your boat, including port (red) and starboard (green) lights, as well as a white stern light.

Make sure that your navigation lights are working correctly before every trip, and consider carrying spare bulbs or an additional lighting system as a backup.

4. First Aid Kit

Accidents can happen anywhere, including on the water. That’s why having a well-stocked first aid kit is one of the ten essential accessories every boat owner needs . Your kit should include items like bandages, antiseptic wipes, tweezers, scissors, gauze, and pain relievers. Additionally, you may want to include seasickness medication, sunscreen, and insect repellent in your boat’s first aid kit.

Make sure that your first aid kit is waterproof and stored in an easily accessible location on your boat, and regularly check to ensure all items are up to date.

5. Fire Extinguisher

While it may seem counterintuitive, fire hazards can still arise on a boat despite being surrounded by water. Electrical issues, fuel leaks, or even cooking accidents can lead to dangerous situations. A fire extinguisher is therefore one of the ten essential accessories every boat owner needs for emergency situations.

Make sure that the fire extinguisher on your boat is appropriate for both electrical and fuel fires and that it's easily accessible in an emergency. Regularly check the expiration date and pressure gauge to ensure it’s in working order.

6. Boat Cover

A boat cover is crucial for protecting your investment from the elements. Whether your boat is stored in a marina or on a trailer, a cover keeps it clean and shields it from harmful UV rays, dirt, and moisture. Keeping your boat covered when not in use also helps prevent the buildup of debris in the cockpit and other areas.

When choosing a boat cover, make sure it’s made from durable, water-resistant material and that it fits your boat properly. Custom covers are available for many boat models, providing better protection and longevity.

Protecting Your Vessel Investing in a high-quality boat cover can extend the life of your boat and save you from costly repairs due to environmental damage. Visit KYMA Boats to learn more about how we can help you choose the right cover for your personalized boat.

7. Marine Radio

Communication is key when you’re out on the water, especially in emergencies. A marine radio allows you to stay connected with other boaters, marina operators, and emergency services. VHF radios are the most common type used on boats, providing a reliable communication link over long distances.

A marine radio is especially important if you plan on venturing far from shore, as mobile phone signals can be unreliable in open waters. In some areas, having a marine radio on board is required by law.

8. Docking Fenders

Docking fenders are an often-overlooked item but are absolutely among the ten essential accessories every boat owner needs . These cushioned pads attach to the sides of your boat, protecting it from damage when docking or when tied to other boats. Fenders help absorb the impact of bumps and scrapes that can occur while your boat is moored.

Fenders come in a variety of sizes, so make sure you choose ones that are appropriate for the size of your boat and the type of docking you’ll be doing. Having at least two or three on each side of your boat is a good rule of thumb.

9. Emergency Flare Kit

In the event of a distress situation, an emergency flare kit is essential. These kits contain pyrotechnic flares or LED distress signals that are visible from great distances and can help rescue teams locate your vessel. It’s another item that’s not only crucial for safety but also required by law in many regions.

Typical boat toolkits include wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and electrical tape, among other essentials. These tools can be a lifesaver in minor maintenance situations or emergencies and should be one of the ten essential accessories every boat owner needs .

I still use Leland's Marine even though I have moved to Kentucky. with videos and pictures, he tells me what parts to buy for my little yellow boat.

Used this boat for promoting our doggydocks floating dog ramp.

Leland took this boat when it was stripped down to nothing but the hull and built me a boat that I dreamed about. Leland is the best!

I collect classic boats and found Leland about 10 years ago when I purchased a classic wooden boat, Leland drove all the way to Santa Cruz to check the boat out and charge me 10.00 for gas. On more than one occasion he has sugggested I don't buy certain boats because of the cost involved. It is an absolute pleasure doing business with him. His prices are more than fair and he is as honest as they come.

Took my 2006 Tahoe Q4 and they worked on a complete valve job they rebuilt my carburetor and replaced my propeller all in the last three years. I don't recommend this guy because he is my buddy or because we have an arrangement simply because when I was looking for a mechanic who would not take advantage of me as a first time boat owner he was fair and honest. I still have the same boat and it is running in good condition. His work has endured the test of time. I believe all boaters are looking for a mechanic like Leland's Marine

Took my Bayliner boat over a year ago for idle adjust. He charged me about $600 for carb rebuilt. Problem was never solved still very hard to restart after it dies in the water. Went back twice but Leland still didn't fix it. Now he refused to talk to me or return my calls. Shouldn't he at least return my $600 so I can spend the money on a capable marin shop!!! Hello....

Bought my boat a couple years ago. The guy I bought it from used Leland so I kept using him and he has been great. Very attentive to detail and is very friendly. He will be my go to guy for service and repair as long as I have a boat!

I needed to have my boat throttle put back on my boat and saw the reviews on this place and gave it a try. Leland was awesome to work with. The panel on our boat had some thick wood where the throttle was to be placed making it hard to install. Leland was determined and took his time to try and figure out how to get the throttle on with the thick wood. Most places would have given up or turned the job away but Leland went above and beyond till he got it installed!! He is a very patient man and great to do business with. His rates are great and the service he gives is even better. I will definitely be taking my boat back to him for future work.

We were having issues starting our boat and he helped talk us through it over the phone and educated us on other boat care. Nice guy, helpful and honest. We took the money we saved from avoided diagnostic charge and bought a new propeller from him. If we have any other issues we will definitely be back to Leland, he's our guy.

Probably one of the nicest folks in the business. He refitted all my fuel lines and even went beyond what I had asked for. I'll be taking my boat to him for any non-motor related boat issues.

Have used Leland's for about 4 years. Always used for annual service. This year after annual service brought boat to Tahoe and 1st time out boat overheated. Took it to local repair to try and save vacation. Impeller was broken and heat damaged exhaust. (Leland was in the loop as to what I was doing). Local shop fixed impeller problem but family took boat home to Leland which picked up the boat at my home and took it in. Cost up at Tahoe to try and fix was $491.00. When I went to get boat to send home Leland was talking to owner on phone to understand the problem and what work was done. Owner came out explaining he was telling Leland what happened and Leland already paid the $491.00 and commenting what an honest and up front person Leland is. When annual service was done new impeller was put in. Things happen with boats. When something happens it's how you respond. There was never an excuse. I will use and recommend Leland. It's rare to find such an honest person who does quality work.

We have taken our mastercraft to Leland several times. He is incredibly knowledgeable about boats! Great customer service - helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend him! Prices are very fair as well!

Leland's Marine has been great and timely. I feel that I receive my moneys worth. So far the relationship has been great. He is very trustworthy.

functional UFO jet boat zooms through water as a motorized flying saucer for lakes or rivers

Craftsman tran long ho builds his ufo jet boat from scratch.

If anyone has ever asked if it was possible to create a UFO-looking jet boat , craftsman Tran Long Ho has proven it to be more than possible when he produced his very own motorized flying saucer. Built from scratch, and with his own team as seen in the video, the UFO jet boat captures the design of the mysterious flying object—only now it’s right before the viewers’ eyes, so it may no longer be a mystery (except for what’s hidden in the cabin).

Motorized flying saucer with wooden parts

Mr. Tran Long Ho starts building his UFO jet boat using an earthy, sand-textured material and pours cement to harden it. In the video documenting his design process, he and the team mold it to follow the flying saucer’s shape before coating it with purple paint. The steel frame comes next, put together to hold the watercraft’s body in place.

Next, the craftsman produces hexagon cutouts from thin slabs of wood and plasters them on the frame as a form of insulation in the cabin. The first layer of coating comes next, and they all wait for it to dry before applying the motors that get the jet boat going.

Solar-panel-like plates for the hexagon designs

When the base is all covered, Mr. Tran Long Ho cuts hexagon shapes around the surface of the UFO jet boat’s top covering. As he shows in the video that documents the making of his motorized flying saucer, a series of solar-panel-like plates mask these holes, staying true to typical UFO depictions.

The engine sits in the heart of the watercraft, hidden just below the driver’s seat. This is why the Vietnamese craftsman built the lower body of the jet boat with a hollow, oval shape. First, it’s how a UFO might look, and second, it functions as the housing for the motors.

These motors may not work without switches, which come next in the making of the jet boat. For the wiring, Mr. Tran Long Ho hides them behind the fuzzy material that tops the angles and corners of the hexagon cutouts. It’s a smart move to make the interior as wire-free as possible. When it comes to cruising inside the jet boat, the pilot might need to recline as much as they can because of the limited overhead space.

That means they have to stretch their arms and reach for the steering wheel, just like the craftsman testing his watercraft on a river. That may not be an inconvenience at all, not when once they’ve revved up the engine, they can zoom through the water, speeding away as fast as a jet ski with occasional hops for a thrilling ride.
