Things like nuts, bolts, washers, rope in assorted lengths and sizes are just stuff you can't live without. You might need them in places where there are no places. when you get into spare "what evers". When I got the boat thew PPO (pervious previous owners) left me an alternator and a voltage rageulator with more stuff. I still have the 100 amp alternator that stored well but I did use the voltage regulator last year and that was an expensive part He did not leave me a raw water pump

Repair kits are worth the effort and critical consumables like belts and filters are too easy and cheap not to take along. A small mechanic that does not eat much isn't out of the question. You have to judge what you don't bring by what you feel you have to bring. Leave behind the anvil but take the third pair of pliers. The idea being the pliers are light and easy to store.

The extra case of wine - Yes! You could be all wrong but then that option is always out there every day you are out there. It will all work better with the extra case of wine rather than 2 gallons of motor oil.

If after all that there is still the "rule of the Admiralty". The Admiral knows what she needs more than you do.
