FIGURE 6-4: TOW ARM AND FISH CONNECTION
The Kevlar tow cable is terminated in a customized splice, which incorporates the 6 pin
female mating connector. This splice/connector combination is mated to the towfish (3 & 4),
and the splice is stored in the tow-arm cavity (2, 3 & 4). The cable is retained in the tow arm
using tie wraps (2 & 3)
Note: The
maximum recommended tow speed using the supplied Edgetech coaxial
Kevlar cable is 8 knots.
For speeds in excess of 8 knots up to 12 knots we recommend the use of steel armored
cable, See Section 6.1.
