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.
• Creating a bridle with a line around the hull or superstructure
will distribute the load over a wide area; pad pressure points.
This technique can be used on both the towing and towed
boat.
• Keep lines clear of propellers on both boats.
• Keep hands and feet clear of the other boat.
• Never hold a towline after it is pulled taut.
PERSON OVERBOARD
• Immediately sound an alarm and keep pointing to the person
overboard.
• Throw a life preserver even if the person is wearing a PFD. It
will serve as a marker.
• Immediately stop or slow the boat, then circle toward the
victim.
• Keep person overboard on helm side so operator has the
person constantly in sight.
• Approach from downwind and move alongside into the
wind for pickup.
• When almost alongside, stop the engine in gear to prevent
dangerous propeller “windmilling.”
• As part of your emergency plan, consider what to do if you
were alone and fell overboard (e.g., wear PFD, keep signal device
in PFD, attach emergency stop switch lanyard to yourself).
DROWNING
• Swim to rescue a drowning victim only as a last resort.
• Immediate resuscitation is critical! At least two people on
board should be certified in CPR.
• Keep the victim warm.
• Use care in handling. Spinal injury may exist if the victim fell
overboard.
• Signal for help.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY
• In an emergency, you may be far from professional medical
assistance. Be prepared. Take a first aid course, and carry a
first aid kit. Be aware of special conditions that may affect
anyone on board.
