This question is inspired by SmackDaddy's when to get off thread.
The following is what I come up with off the top of my head.
What did I miss.
Location and/or operation of:
Life jackets
Throw-able.
Anchor
Bilge pump and manual switch
Manual pump and handle.
spotlight
fuel shutoff
battery switch
boat hook
Engine, start, stop gears and throttle.
Disconnect reconnect auto-helm
Raise and lower sails
Radio
Chart plotter
Fenders
Dock lines
Depth Transducer
Through-hulls
Tool-box
Flares
Horn
I'm thinking of a situation where I get a call from and experienced captain who wants my help moving his boat just a hundred or two miles.
I hop on the boat he takes off, I'm just crew. He knows all their is about the boat.
I can think of several scenarios where if something even relatively minor goes wrong it would be really important for me to know the location and operation of one or more of the above list.
