Figure 3-13: Towfish with Tow Cable Connected and Attached
To connect and attach the tow cable to the towfish:
1. Verify that the tow cable is not connected to the 4125 Portable Topside Processor.
2. Verify that the tow cable connector on the towfish and the mating female connector on the tow
cable are free of corrosion or dirt. If dirty, clean them with contact cleaner.
3. Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the pins of the tow cable connector on the towfish.
4. Mate the connectors by pressing them firmly together. Do not wiggle the connectors.
5. Secure the locking sleeve.
6. Attach the loop of the Kellems grip to the shackle on the towing arm and secure the shackle bolt
with seizing wire or a tie wrap. Ensure that the safety grip is taking the strain and not the tow
cable pigtail.
