Quicksilver 605PH — General Information
Towing
Quicksilver® does not recommend towing other boats, or being towed by other boats, unless it is
absolutely necessary. In the event that it becomes necessary for you to have your boat towed, a
professional company experienced in this type of operation is better equipped to handle this situation.
Strong Points
It is the owner's/operators responsibility to ensure that
mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains, anchor lines and
anchors are adequate for the vessel's intended use. Owners
should also consider what action will be necessary when
securing a tow line on board.
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the cleats for
lifting is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.

Towing or being towed can lead to fatigue of the boat's
hardware and lines. Failure of any part can seriously injury
people or damage the boat. Do not stand directly in line
with the tow line. If the line were to break, it would "snap
back" causing injury or damage to everything in its path.
Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the
hull speed of a displacement craft when being towed.
