INLAND ONLY What MAY be used to indicate the presence of a partly submerged object being towed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Navigation Rules for towing and partly submerged objects • Difference between required signals and those that are permitted/may be used • Special shapes and lights used for towing vs for ground tackle or day shapes (like cones and balls)

💭 Think About

• Look at which options are specifically mentioned in the Inland Rules as methods that may be used for indicating a partly submerged tow • Ask yourself: Are all of these options actually associated with towing operations, or are some of them normally used for other purposes (like sailing or anchoring)? • Consider whether the word MAY in the question suggests an optional, additional indication rather than the primary, required light/shapes for a tow

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Inland Rules the description of lights/shapes for a partly submerged object being towed • Check which of these options (yellow lights, searchlight beam, black cone) are truly connected to tow identification and not to some other, unrelated situation • Confirm whether the Rules ever group all of these methods together, or if only one or some are actually mentioned for this specific case
