26—Safety
• Proceed at slow speed.
• Avoid abrupt changes in throttle as that may cause the tow line
to slacken and jerk tight. Sudden strain or jerking the line causes
excessive tow line forces which may part the line. Keep slack out
of the tow line, but if it occurs proceed slowly to again take up the
strain on the line and avoid sudden jerks in the line.
• Be ready to cast loose or cut the line if the towing situation
becomes hazardous.
Vessel Being Towed
• Attach the towline to the bow eye.
• If it is necessary to be towed after being freed, keep someone at
the wheel to steer.
Both Vessels
• If you attach the towline to a fitting, be sure the fitting is fastened
with a through bolt and is reinforced on the underside.
• Keep lines clear of propellers on both boats.
• Keep hands and feet clear of the other boat. Do not get caught, or
pinched between the two boats as severe injury could occur.
• Never hold a towline after it is pulled taut.
