my dock box is slowly turning into a junk drawer. What actually earns a permanent spot in yours? I have a hose, brush, spare line, gloves and way too many random little fittings.

Bucket. Always a bucket. Also absorbent pads, funnel, zip ties, tape and a cheap pair of pliers. Keep the fluids somewhere else if that box cooks in the sun.
