NO MORE TOGGLE PAINTERS TODAY IN FULLY ENCLOSED LIFEBOATS - The painter is released from a fully enclosed lifeboat in waterborne conditions by pulling a toggle or a release handle, which is a quick-release mechanism, usually located inside the boat at the command console or near the seats. After the lifeboat is fully waterborne, the person inside pulls the release handle or toggle, causing the painter to detach from the boat and allow it to move freely away from the sinking ship.
