What could be used as fairleads on a towed vessel?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above
Fairleads, including double bitts, chocks, and roller chocks, are essential deck fittings used to guide towing lines and prevent chafing. They ensure the hawser maintains a proper lead, reducing friction and protecting the line from damage while allowing for controlled movement of the tow under varying loads.
