If the inflatable boat is to be towed by another boat, the inflatable
boat must be empty. Remove outboard, fuel tank, and equipment.
A towing bridle is necessary in order to properly tow your boat...
Never tow the inflatable boat by connecting rope to the
central lifting handle. Use only the towing D-rings on
both sides of the dinghy bow.
Following the instructions on the towing bridle.
A Towing Line must be rigged to run from the port stern cleat,
through the Towing Ring on the Towing Bridle, and back to the
starboard stern cleat.
At Towing Ring on the Bridle, secure the line with a knot --- the run
each end of the towing line to the aft corner cleats as described
above. This will prevent the dinghy from continual sliding on the
ring while under tow.
After affixing the Towing Line to the two stern cleats, you will form
an 'X-shaped' bridle of this
Towing Bridle and your towing
line. By towing in this fashion,
the Inflatable will tack straighter
and safer than with a single
towing line led to a single towing
ring on the bow.
Tow the boat at slow speed.
The inflatable must be under constant supervision when it is being
towed.
CAUTION:
Never tow the dinghy with the outboard or gas tank
aboard. This added weight adds stress to the towing rings and increases
drag. Make sure there is no water in the boat. Excess water in the boat
can quickly lead to failure of the towing rings, especially when the load
is not being equalized. Even just six inches of water in an inflatable can
weight hundreds of pounds to the boat.
