Some vessels use one line only; others use both a fishing line and a bolchline as shown in the sketch.\nThe toggle chain length should be measured from the centre of the chain or wire running through the footrope (centre of footrope) to the underside of the fishing line.\nThe attached sketch shows how to measure the toggle and chain length.\n’.\n5..
