INLAND ONLY What must a partially submerged object towed by a vessel show during the day?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) diamond shape regardless of length of the tow.
According to the Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook, a partially submerged object being towed by a vessel must display a diamond shape during the day, regardless of the length of the tow. This requirement applies to inland waters only. The other options are incorrect because a black ball is not the required shape, and the length of the tow does not affect the requirement to display the diamond shape.
