Before using the system, make sure that the emergency
handle can rotate and not hit the bow pulpit.
Cordless drill adapters work well, but there must be a
fully-charged cordless drill on hand at all times. Because
a cordless drill may lose power, always have an
emergency handle onboard.

harness and tether, go forward.
