A Guide to Using Your Throw Bag

A throw bag is a crucial safety item that should be on every boat, particularly for emergencies such as a man overboard incident. This equipment generally features 15.2 meters of 3-strand floating line securely stored in a robust nylon bag, making it easy and effective to utilize.

How to Use Your Throw Bag:

1. Grasp the Bag: Hold the hand loop at the drawstring end with your non-throwing hand.
2. Aim for the Target: Concentrate on the individual or object in the water.
3. Make the Throw: With a firm and confident motion, launch the bag toward the target.
