Q

You should attach a towline to a trailer eye bolt using a(n) __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper knots and fittings for towing small boats or trailers • How an eye bolt / trailer eye is designed to take a load • Differences between knots (temporary) and splices/hardware (more permanent or purpose‑built)

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices gives you a secure connection directly to an eye without slipping or jamming under heavy towing load? • Think about which option is commonly taught in basic boating courses as the standard way to put a line through an eye when towing or mooring. • Which options are mainly used to join two lines together, and are they appropriate for attaching a single line to metal hardware?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choices that are primarily for joining two rope ends together, not for attaching to hardware. • Consider which option will still be easy to untie or remove after the tow has been under strain. • Think about standard small‑boat practice: how is a towline normally secured to a ring, cleat, or eye on the bow or trailer?
