Fittings used for towing must be __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe towing practices and why strong connection points are critical • Difference between regulatory approval/markings and basic seaworthiness requirements • What can realistically be required of all vessels (large and small) used in towing

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that is absolutely essential before you put a heavy strain on any fitting? • Think about small workboats or casual towing situations—do they always have special approvals or markings, or is there one basic condition that must always be met? • Which choices sound like they might only apply to certain types or sizes of vessels, rather than being a universal requirement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Ask which requirement would apply universally to any towing fitting, on any size vessel • Consider which options might be desirable but not always mandatory under the rules • Eliminate any answer that depends on a special location or special markings that not all towing arrangements actually have
