ABSTRACT:
A towing arm assembly for use with a towing vessel has a towing arm support affixed to each side of the towing vessel. Each towing arm support receives in sliding engagement in a horizontal channel therein a pin connected to a proximal end of a towing arm. Each pin can be locked within the channel to prevent fore and aft motion of an associated towing arm. Each towing arm is connected at a distal end to a forced air dredging apparatus. The towing arms can be slid aft to allow any substantial amount of forced air from the dredging apparatus to remain clear of any stern propeller of the towing vessel. The towing arms can be slid forward to allow the dredging apparatus to be stowed near the stern of the vessel.
