When towing your boat, the inflatable must be empty when towed by another boat.  The towing line should be secured to the D-rings on each side of the inflatable. Never tower your boat by the bow ring. If the inflatable only has a bow ring, take the boat directly onboard the towing boat. The bow ring should only be used to attach a mooring line.
