This is why I replaced the biners on my vest-mounted tow system with plastic side-release buckles and removed the spare biner from my PFD or grab loop. There have been several references to Witchert (sp?) clips on this list in the past. They work with one hand, are great, very costly and available through West Marine. I think these are stainless. A good quality climbing biner in colored anodized aluminum will work for a long time if protected with Boeshield T-9 lube and religiously rinsed and worked after each use in salt water.
