What basic equipment do i need for a small fishing boat?

I'm planning on buying a small fishing boat this weekend for fishing around the gower peninsula, and would like to know what are the basic bits of kit i need to get started? The boat itself is 15ft in length and comes with a 50hp outboard engine and trailer. Everything else i'm going to need to buy seperatly, except for the fishing tackle which i already own. Many thanks.


my god, you have only got a small boat,, not an ocean liner,,

life jacket
flare
extra canister of petrol,, (you dont want to run out of petrol while at sea)
and a personal stereo, you will want to listen to some music when you out here
spare set of oars just incase of engine packs up
rope
and a handheld radio,

Can I use a Car battery for my small fishing boat?

I have a small 12 foot alum fishing boat with a small sonar and a 38# thrust trolling motor. I also have a 1yr old car battery (from a totalled car) available for use.

I know the car battery isn't a marine battery and that there's a reason to use marine over auto batteries for boats, but I won't hurt anything by using the car battery in the boat, will I? (Other than shortening the eventual life of the car battery.)


I look at this different than most. I use a car battery for my boat it is a 16' bass tracker. I use it to start the motor and run the trolling motor, bilge pump, aerators, and fish finder. I have no problem in running it all day. It will drain a car battery but it will also drain a marine battery. It will shorten the life of a car batter but it is warranty for 5 yrs. a marine battery is warranty for one year. My car battery usually last for 3 years doing this and I get a pro rated replacement which ends up in about 1/2 the cost of the battery. A car battery cost about half as much as a marine battery and I only get one year maybe 2 out of the marine battery. Now you do the math on it.
So go ahead and use the car battery, just charge it up each time and enjoy.

  • Best Small Boat Side Scanning Sonar? - The Hull Truth - Boating ...

    None of the Side Scan units are really meant for offshore use. Of course a Searchlight Sonar would not fit in your boat. So I am not sure technology has caught up with our expectations yet. A small boat bobbing around in the Ocean trying to paint a picture off to the side is just not realistic with today's technology. The Lowrance LSS1 is a very nice Side Scan unit and does offer a thru-hull transducer. So if you feel like experimenting please let us know how you make out.
