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.
