In theory, the TOW2 and higher can be used over water - after all there is some insulation on the wire unlike the TOW1.
However, the two times I seen a tow get shot out over more than a your typical smallish river overseas, the wires always got shorted anyways.
So I would say there would be a chance of it shorting out regardless. I do know when they gave me an in unit training on the Brad back when I was in the ACR they said *not* to fire over bodies of water for this reason.
