Towing
When towing another boat, use a floating line that is strong enough for the task. Begin
towing slowly, avoid jerks, and do not overload the engine.
The owner of the boat should consider the measures necessary for securing the boat’s
towrope.
If you are towing, or if your boat has to be towed, attach the towline to the bow or stern
bollards as per the following image.
WARNING!
When towing, the towline is under high tension. If it should break,
the end that snaps off may lash back fast enough to cause serious
injury or death. Always use a thick enough line and keep to one
side of the towline.
NOTE!
When towing another boat or being towed, always drive at low
speed. If the boat has a displacement hull, never exceed hull
speed while towing.
NOTE!
The towline should always be fastened so that it can be
unfastened under load.
