PROCEDURES

TOWING THE BOAT

➀
Bow eye
The boat should be towed only if it
becomes inoperative.
The towing rope should be long enough
so that the boat will not collide with the
towing boat when slowing down. A
good rule of thumb is a tow rope which
is three times the combined length of
the towing boat and the boat.
Tow the boat using the bow eye only.
Tow the boat at a "no wake" speed.
CAUTION:
at speed fast enough to leave a
wake. Severe engine damage could
result because water can flood the
non-operating engines through the
cooling water intake.
Do not tow the boat
& S
PECIAL
WARNING
The operator of the towing boat
must keep speed to a minimum and
avoid traffic or obstacles which
could be a hazard to the driver on
the boat.

RUNNING ON ONE ENGINE

If one engine becomes inoperative, the
properly running engine can be used to
return to shore. Operate at a "no wake"
speed to prevent water from flooding
the non-operating engine through the
cooling water intake.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the boat above a "no
wake" speed with just one engine.
Severe engine damage could result
because water can flood the non-
operating engines through the cool-
ing water intake.
