🔍 Key Concepts

• Requirements for towing winches that handle wire towlines on towing vessels • The difference between normal operating features (like level-wind or spooling devices) and safety-critical features (like brakes) • What must still work when there is no main power available

💭 Think About

• Think about which items are directly related to safety and control of the tow if something goes wrong versus what mainly adds convenience or efficiency in normal operations. • Ask yourself: in a power failure, which features of the towing winch are absolutely essential to prevent the towline from running out uncontrollably? • Consider: which option sounds like a "nice to have" for smooth operation, and which sound like things a regulation would more likely require for safety?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options involve a brake or stopping/holding capability of the towline and how they relate to the vessel’s horsepower or bollard pull. • Check which item, if missing, would most directly increase the risk of losing control of the towline in an emergency or power loss. • Identify the choice that is primarily about spooling/winding neatly rather than about holding, stopping, or controlling the towline under load.
