The Painter Line is a rope attached to the bow of a boat, used for tying up, as when docking or towing.

In a life raft this is attached to the valve/mouth of CO2 cylinder, when life raft is packed in the container. To inflate the life raft, jerk/pull is given to the painter line.

The length of the painter line depends on the height of liferaft stowage position in ship/offshore installation. It is calculated as 15mtr + height of stowage.

It is called so - probably from Old French 'pentoir', meaning strong rope, from pendre, to hang... Captain Pratap Mehta, Mumbai
