🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing gear safety requirements to prevent accidental disconnection under strain • Difference between temporary (quick release) vs permanent/secured shackle arrangements • Why some fittings (like swivels or screw pins) can work loose under vibration and heavy load

💭 Think About

• Which option provides a connection that is mechanically locked so it cannot back off or unscrew by itself under vibration and heavy towing loads? • In a towing situation, would you prefer a fitting that is quick to remove or one that is positively secured and less likely to loosen? • Look at each choice: which one specifically mentions an added means of preventing the primary pin/bolt from turning or coming out?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option includes two separate means of keeping the connection from coming apart (for example, a pin plus a locking device). • Check whether a screw-pin alone is considered adequately secured for a primary towline connection in most towing best practices and exam scenarios. • Confirm that the chosen arrangement is something you would trust for a long tow in rough weather without frequent manual checking.
