It should be in some kind of pocket so it can't catch accidentally. Some of the commercially available tow kits come with a little pocket that can attach to the PFD. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On my waist tow rig I have a D ring sewn onto the belt. It is for my snaphook to attach to for quick deployment. The length of the line between the float and the D ring is set to keep the float in the bag and the snaphook on the D ring and the line taut, so as no entangling issues. On my PFD I have a split D ring that I use whenever I have the suspicion I'll be towing soon. The snaphook is drawn further out of the bag and it gets attached to the split D ring. The split D ring breaks open faster for attaching and I don't have to waist manual dexterity (and time)on retrieving a snaphook for use on a friend in need.
