Section 2 • General Information
R
Either of these methods will distribute the load over
a wide area. Be sure to use fenders or other chafe
protection at the pressure points.
If using the bow eye to tow is the only option:
• Use double-braided or braid-on-braid
line. NEVER use three-stranded twisted
nylon; it has too much elasticity, can
break and “snap back” causing severe injury
or damage.
• Attach the tow line to the bow tow eye only.
DO NOT attach the tow line to a cleat or
deck rail.
• Have towing vessel move slowly to prevent
strain on a slack line.
• Keep someone at the helm of the towed
vessel to steer.
• Keep lines clear of propellers on both
boats.
• Keep hands and feet clear of the other boat.
• NEVER hold a towline after it is pulled taut.

metal parts in good working condition and keep a
good appearance, you will need to keep them clean.

the canvas material.
