🔍 Key Concepts

• Inspection intervals for towing gear and safety-critical equipment • Difference between minimum required inspections and anytime condition is in doubt • How manufacturer’s recommendations interact with good seamanship and regulatory expectations

💭 Think About

• Think about whether a fixed schedule alone is enough to ensure a towline is safe in all operating conditions • Consider what a prudent mariner would do after heavy weather, overload, or visible damage to a towline • Ask yourself if following only the manufacturer’s interval would cover unexpected damage that occurs between scheduled checks

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which options include both routine/scheduled inspections and condition-based inspections • Verify whether safe practice would ever limit you to inspecting only at a set time (like monthly) or only by manufacturer schedule • Ask if there is any situation where it would be wrong or unnecessary to inspect a towline when you doubt its condition
