If you burn a whole tank every time you go out, never mind but we
usually get 2 or 3 trips on a fillup.
I came up with this to remind me to put some gas in before I get ready
to go. It is better than figuring out I am low after we are all on
board and I start the motor.
I hang this on the lift switch when I am putting the boat away if I
know I am low coming in.
I will see this before I get on the dock. Then I can get a can of gas
and put it in while the lift is going down.

I'll have to take a photo of my RV checklist.
I don't really have much of a checklist for the boat.
We take a cooler, dog water and a trash can.
Leaving the boat is gathering up those 3 plus whatever else we picked
up. (usually just trash)
Gas is the wild card. It is not an "every trip" thing.
If we are just putting around, we may only burn a gallon or two.
I put 5 or 6 in at a time depending on which can I use.
When I notice that gas is coming up, I hang this on the dog water and
hang it on the lift switch when I am getting off. Works great.
RVs require something much, much more extensive:

You really need to remember the last item?
There was a story on the radio in the last year, where senior guy and wife
stopped for lunch on some thong trip. Guy forgot his wife and left.
People in diner bought her a bus ticket to final destination, and cops
looked for husband to tell him. Middle America. Doubt the north east
would help her.
Some friends were hunting on the eastern shore and started back to DC
late at night. One guy was sleeping in the back of the pickup and the
other two were up front. They stopped at a light in Cambridge and
since it was late the guy in the back decided he would take a leak out
the back. They drove off and he fell out wearing nothing but his long
johns.
Nobody noticed.
Long story short, he stood there in the intersection until someone
came along and took him to a phone where he called the cops. They
stopped the other two at the toll booth for the bridge and turned them
around. They got back and found him shivvering in the phone booth.
