Towing System
Your boat might be equipped with a towing system.
Towing another boat requires experience and skill.
Always operate any boat within the limits of your expe-
rience. If you do not have this experience, ask some-
one to instruct you or gain experience through
experimentation under controlled conditions.
Towing a Boat
Understand this information before towing another
boat:
• Evaluate the condition of the target boat and its
crew before beginning a tow operation.
• Remove all non-essential crew from the target
boat.
• Make sure that all tow rig components on both
boats are of sufficient capacity for the tow.
• Set the tow rig as low and as close to the boat
centerlines as possible.
• Take at least one-half turn around the tow bar
before you secure the tow line using a series of
figure eights.
•
DO NOT
use any knots to secure the tow line.
• Set engines or rudders on target boat to maintain
station behind your boat.
!
CAUTION
Your towing system is designed to tow another
boat of similar displacement at non-planing
speeds for an unrestricted period of time.
!
DANGER
Never allow personnel to stand near a deployed
tow rig. The tow line or a tow component could
fail with a high level of energy, causing serious
injury or death.
