132. Mooring wire fiber tails should be inspected on a regular basis. Which of the following would be included in the inspection?

The critical inspection point for mooring wire fiber tails is the connection between the wire and tail, ensuring it is secure and undamaged. This connection is susceptible to wear, chafe, corrosion, and mechanical damage due to the cyclic loading during mooring. Visual inspection should focus on the hardware, thimble, and tail for signs of damage, not solely on color fading or arbitrary diameter changes.
