Q

On a light tow, what could you substitute for a fishplate?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fishplate purpose and where it is used in towing gear • Difference between connecting hardware (links, rings, shackles) and quick‑release devices • What is normally used to connect a towline to an intermediate bridle or pennant on a light tow

💭 Think About

• First, think about what a fishplate actually does in a towing arrangement: does it mainly connect parts together, allow rotation, or provide quick release? • Look at each option and ask: which one is most similar in function and location to a fishplate in the tow gear? • For a light tow, would you be more concerned with being able to quickly release, to prevent twisting, or just to make a strong simple connection?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is commonly used as a simple connection link between towing components rather than as a release or rotating device • Check which piece of gear is normally used to prevent twisting in a tow and which is used for emergency release—that will help you rule some options out • Confirm which item is most often used as a substitute for a plate or link between chain, wire, or pennants in towing gear
