🔍 Key Concepts

• Nylon line characteristics (elasticity, low friction, tendency to surge) • Safe line-handling practices around bitts and other fittings • How many turns are normally needed on smooth, strong synthetic line to keep control under load

💭 Think About

• Think about how slippery and stretchy nylon is compared with manila or poly line. With just one turn on a bitt, will it really hold or let you ease the line safely under load? • Which choices describe safe body position and which put you in danger if the line surges, parts, or jumps off the bitts? • Look for the option that both increases friction on a slippery line and keeps your body out of the danger zone if something goes wrong.

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that puts any part of your body in a bight or potential snap‑back path. • Ask: "Does this choice increase friction and control over a strong, elastic, slippery line, or does it reduce it?" • Verify that the method described would still be safe if the line suddenly surged or parted under heavy load.

Which is TRUE when paying out nylon line from around the bitts?

You can controllably pay out the line even with a single turn

Stand clear of the bitts and use two or more round turns under your figure eights

No extra turns are necessary since nylon has a high coefficient of friction

Stand with your foot on the bight of the line
