I need to invest in one of these. You are not supposed to use Dakota Lithium batteries to jump off lead acid batteries or to start your outboard. The only lead acid battery on my boat is my cranking battery.
Must have on a boat...

Let the owner of the boat worry about all that sh#t. It is always better to be on someone elses boat 
An odd one but relays for your trim. Cheap parts that are easy to replace on the water. I got stuck two weeks ago when my down relay went out. Thankfully it was at the ramp and not 30 miles away. Would be tough to get on plane if the engine was too high.
Good idea. A spare pump with a short piece of hose that's already wired up to alligator clips could be used as an emergency bilge pump or livewell pump.

And while you are wiring….
Those are delicious as well… kind of hard to find in Pascagoula
Can of starter fluid also take the cowl off and see if you have an emergency pull start rope. If you do then replace it with a new one and then practice starting that 30hp for when the battery doesn't work. This is also where the starting fluid will help make for an easier start.

You can jump the relay with two screw drivers if this goes out. Just make sure you jump the power to the down side and not the up.
I don't know for certain but it seems you work in healthcare in some capacity. If you have access to suture material and anesthetic I would get some, vacuum seal it and keep it handy. It has salvaged a trip or two for me when we would have had to come in for medical attention.

Yes. Dug a 2/0 hook out of a friend's face one day and we kept fishing. I was afraid I would tear his facial nerve by using " the trick" so numbed it up, shoved it thru and cut it off.

Ask SCN…… we robbed the redfish bank after guys from TX told us where to fish after I gave them ice cold Shiners. I always fish with a 6 pack on board….,

I one you have now on your drain plug is probably dry rotted
I carry an extra trolling motor pull rope and handle. I have had a few break over the years.
I had one break as I was leaning back pulling the trolling motor up one time. Placed me flat on my back on the front deck.
I'm confused what your plug looks like. I've never had a boat plug with an O ring. Is that a saltwater thing?
