Vessel Being Towed
• Attach the tow line 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 tow line 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 tow line after it is pulled taut.
