6. Attach the shackle end of the safety cable to the bail grip loop on the tow cable
near the tow cable shackle, and the clevis pin end to the safety cable tab on the
top of the towfish near the tail. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 for the location
of the safety cable tab. The safety cable must be taut enough so that drag, or
the likelihood of snagging, is not increased, but loose enough so that it does
not interfere with the functioning of the tow shackle.
7. If not already secured, use cable ties (7.5 x 0.185 in.), which are included in
the towfish spares kit, to fasten the safety cable to the cable hold-down clips
on the top of the towfish housing. Place a cable tie through the shackle pin
hole and wrap around the shackle pin to prevent the shackle from loosening.
Use electrical tape every 30 cm (12 in.) to secure the safety cable to the tow
cable starting at the top of the tow shackle and up the bail grip loop. Move the
tow shackle forward and backward to check for smooth operation.
3.4.2 Connecting the Tow Cable with the Optional K-Wing
Depressor
The shackle on the tow cable connects mechanically to the towfish K-Wing
depressor tow bracket using a tow pin. The depressor connects mechanically to the
towfish. The waterproof connector on the towfish jumper cable connects to the
waterproof connector on the tow cable. The towfish mechanical and electrical
connection procedure is as follows:
1.
Remove the retaining ring from the beveled end of the tow pin, withdraw the
pin from the tow bracket and set it aside. Remove the two bolts and tow
brackets from the welded-on six-hole towing flange. Take note of the location
of the tow brackets for future reference.
2.
Position the K-Wing depressor over the towing flange in the same location as
where the tow brackets were previously connected. Secure the depressor to the
towing flange with the fasteners provided.
3.
Align the tow shackle mounting hole with the mounting hole of the K-Wing
shackle on the tow depressor tow bracket. Insert the beveled end of the tow
pin through the holes in the tow cable shackle and the bracket, and secure the
tow pin with the retaining ring.
4.
If the towfish was previously configured for towing without a depressor, it
will be necessary to extend the free length of the towfish 100-inch jumper
cable in order to reach the shackle connector. Do not extend more than is
NOTE
The tow cable and not the safety cable must take up the strain of the
tow load.
