NOTES ON BOATS
Common Troubles: How to Handle
BY BOB JONES

Running out of gas is prob
badly one Of the most common
troubles with small boats. You
figured on a 4-hour supply
and it gave out in 8. What
happened?
Maybe your carburetor adj
1ustment was too rich; possibly
you had an unnoticed leak in
the fuel line. Or did you allow
for bucking a strong current
and heavy winds? In any
event. you're sure to carry a re-
serve supply next time. But
this time luck is on your side
and someone comes along with
an offer to tow you in.
y -
Being TOwed
The towline should be sup
piled by the boat being lowed.
1t should be ready for use
at all times. coiled, free of
knots and kinks, and ready
for heaving. Length should be
anywhere from rs to 40 feet;
manila is good, serviceable and
strong; nylon is increasingly
popular because it is less likely
to develop kinks. and is rot
proof.
The line should have q large
eye splice at one end and served
with whipping at the other. A
f1gure-eight knot about 4 inches
from the end will lessen the
chance of its slipping through
your hands at the end of a
heave. Also, if the end should
60 overheard, the knot will
make it easier tc pick up with
the boat-hook.
The towing boat should lead
the line through its stern
chock, passing the eye over its
stern bits. Beware of fasten-
ing to a light cleat for this job
unless 1t is securely fastened
with bolts through the deck.
The boat being towed should
adjust the length of line by
