[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 151795, member: 55"] Just use a tow bridle, and go to each transom eye. You can purchase one of those goofy cables with the roller, but what I use is merely a 1/2 or 5/8 dockline (probably about 15 feet), for my bridle, then attach the tube line to it, via a climbing rated carabiner. I used to just run the bridle through the loop of the tube line, and let them slide against each other, and while that didn't affect the high quality braided dockline, the polysomethingorother tube line didn't fare as well. The carabiner eliminates that issue, and actually allows the tow line to shift side to side easier, without binding up (side to side movement is desired, else on a turn, only one side would be tight, and the boat just won't turn).
