                            Towing the boat
                                 WARNING
                            ● The operator of  the towing boat  must
                              keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
                              fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
                              to either boat.
                            ● The towing line should be long enough
                              so the towed boat will not collide with
                              the towing boat when slowing down.

                            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. NOTICE: Do not
