How do Mariners make money on the side?

I do handyman type stuff or boat repair. $30 bucks an hour under the table for home repair stuff hanging ceiling fans, lights, installing shelves it is amazing how many people don’t have tools or are clueless. Boat repair I usually charge more for. It always amazes me how many people blissfully just cruise along not checking voltage gauges or oil level until there is a problem. I don’t advertise its mostly folks I already know and I turn down a lot of work because I don’t want to work that much on my off time although the oil patch gives me a lot more time off the last couple of years. If you are handy and have tools you will never go hungry. I looked into going legit with insurance and it’s not very expensive. If things get worse I may just go that route.
